No fan of the F-150 can deny that this is one nice truck!

This week’s Truckin’ Fast video gives us all a chance to ride along in a 2011 Ford F-150 powered by the 3.5L EcoBoost V6 as it races against a 2011 Dodge Ram 1500 with the Hemi V8 on the quarter mile.

Now this rig is worth raving about. This 2006 Ford F-150 SuperCab FX4 Flareside lives comfortably in BlackFX4scab’s garage, and it seems right at home.

This week’s Mudfest video features a newer Ford F-150 pickup with a collection of modifications getting good and muddy without leaving the road.

The final recall, to this date anyhow, for the 2014 Ford F-150 is related to the Passenger Seat Occupant Classification Sensor. This recall not only affects the 2014 Ford F-150, but also the 2014 Ford Flex for a total of nearly 135,000 vehicles between the two.
