First things first: Why the hell did Ford choose to make a burly pickup named after a burlier motorcycle look so incredibly girly in the press shots? The inside might be all snakeskin and black leather, but against the pastel hues of the southwest’s golden hour, it seriously looks like something Malibu Barbie would roll. Could […] More »

The Raptor SVT’s current performance darling, but before it they built another truck to fight a slightly different battle. That truck was the F-150 Lightning. Where the Raptor was built to be a road-going trophy truck, the lightning (as it’s name implies) was built for speed. Of course it wasn’t the only the game in […] More »

The Raptor is more than capable right out of the box. But unless you’ve been asleep since the Late Jurassic period, you know the wizards at Hennessey don’t settle for anything close to factory levels of performance—and this VelociRaptor 600SC is no exception. Our buddy James over at Hennessey recently sent over some pics and specs […] More »

According to him, people have shifted to using their trucks both for work and as their primary mode of transportation. “Our philosophy on (the) F-150 is never stand still; we’re always looking […] More »

Let me just start by saying that I’ve watched a lot of videos of cars, trucks, motorcycles, big wheels and shopping carts taking jumps. But this has to be one of the most impressive. Given the decrepit stance of the truck, I’m pretty sure this isn’t the first time it’s gone over this jump, and the […] More »

Human ingenuity never ceases to amaze. Sure we’ve been to the moon and to the bottom of the ocean, but this guy has contributed a more practical advancement to our species. Axes? Old fashioned. Saws? Obsolete. All you need is a truck, and a giant screw. Boom. Instant wood splitter. Okay, maybe it’s not the […] More »

We know that the Raptor is as tough as a factory truck gets. But operator error can make even the best of the best fail. Here, it looks like the driver managed to stick the landing. The problem is, he stuck it with the nose of the truck. This took place at the Oceano Dunes in the […] More »

Well, this is a little bit embarrassing. For some time, the F-150 has held the crown of most popular vehicle in the states, but it’s not the most “American.” That honor goes to the Toyota Camry.

Here’s one bad Ford truck that can do more than most pickups. This Special Service Vehicle was created by Ford for no extra charge to fleet, municipal, and government buyers which turns this 2013 F-150 into a police, fire, or rescue-ready truck. As I’m sure you’ve already heard that Ford has released Police Interceptors in […] More »
