Full Disclosure: I am a car person. I realize that makes me look like a wimp to the F150online reader, but I feel obligated to be frank with you for the purposes of this post. Even though I am more of a car guy than a truck dude, trucks have a special place in my […] More »

It’s burnout time, boys and girls … time for one of the simplest, yet thrilling forms of automotive entertainment on the planet. In this video, you’ll see that in the space between a Super Duty’s contact patches and the road, enough magic smoke can be produced to sufficiently fill vast expanses of Midwestern air.

The air is rare in Colorado. Where naturally aspirated engines would falter, the boosted Ford F-150s are on nearly equal footing. Nearly.

Ford’s Dearborn factory has been working overtime trying to feed America’s endless thirst for F-150s. It’s easy to imagine a factory as just a host of machinery toiling away into the night, but the reality is that there are real people being put to work here. Here’s what those men and women look like. The […] More »
