The Raptor is great at a lot of things. It can crawl through the mud, it can fly off dunes, and it can soundly trounce the Ram Runner in pretty much every category. What it is not designed for is road racing. Precious few trucks are. And yet here we are, with American Top Gear […] More »

America’s favorite truck has been around for a looong time. The F-150 hasn’t always existed as an F-150, but the F line of trucks have been around since the late forties. That means it was around just in time for the popularization and wide spread adoption of TV. As a result, Ford trucks have been […] More »

The Mustang is far and away Ford’s breadwinner when it comes to racing, but that doesn’t mean the F-150 can’t hang tough.

Getting sideways in the […] More »

We all know and love the Raptor. By far, it’s the coolest truck Ford has introduced in a long while. But it’s not alone in the world of factory built, dual-purpose 4x4s. We’ve already seen the Ram Runner get handled by the Raptor, but what about Nissan? Or for that matter, Toyota? The video seeks […] More »
