V8

Jumping from the rugged Chevy Colorado ZR2 into the far larger and refined Silverado 1500 Z71 Redline was a wise decision. Although both trucks are quite different from one another in a myriad of ways, a line of GM comparisons and contrasts between the two demands to be drawn.

Ford is celebrating 100 years of pickup trucks this summer, and to memorialize this momentous occasion The Blue Oval has rolled out a series of updated F-150 offerings that demand to be discussed. For 40 consecutive years, the F-150 has been the best-selling truck in America, with 35 straight years of that earmarking it as the best-selling vehicle in the market… period.

The 2018 Ford Mustang is gearing up to shoot to thrill, and nothing says “rubber is target numero uno” quite like a snazzy track-exclusive tech feature. OK, so the Dodge Demon still retains its place at the head of the shoot first, file police reports later pack, but that doesn’t mean America’s favorite pony car can’t join in on the fun.

Back in 1976, the Jensen Interceptor III Coupe commanded Rolls-Royce grade price points and extremely low production numbers, while packing big Detroit power. We recently stumbled upon one while perusing eBay and were stunned by both the pristine condition it was in and the amount of detail its seller went into when it came to time to type up the listing.

While you were busy taking tequila shots and pretending that wearing a sombrero somehow made you look attractive, Toyota was issuing the news that it had earned the title of “World’s Fastest SUV” this Cinco de Mayo.

Anyone want to throw-in so we can all share one of the most indestructible and questionably reliable cars in history? We hear it has seating for seven and enough opulent recycled cold war leftovers to soften even the hardest hammered Soviet sickle.

When the “Flame Red” Ram 1500 pickup arrived on my doorstep, I immediately knew that she needed a name, and with the help of my 4-year-old, we gave this lumbering lady the title “Hemi,” which at the time seemed quite appropriate.

One of the things that draws many car guys and gals to particular cars is the way they sound. It’s hard to get the same sort of visceral sound from a 4-cylinder car that you can get from a big American V8.

A rumor has been circulating around the web the last day or so that has to do with Ford and V8 engines use in its sports cars and trucks. According to the rumor, Ford plans to phase out the V8 in the F-150 and Mustang platforms by the end of the 2017 model year.
