Normally, the F-150 doesn’t come to mind when considering the best car for a drag strip. Out of Ford’s stable, the Mustang is probably best suited for that activity.

It’s always fun to see cars and trucks doing things out of the ordinary. Like old Benzes doing burnouts, and crossovers racing Porsches.

So it makes sense that Ford’s engineers are getting started on testing the new truck early. […] More »

Anyone in the market for an new F-150 will have a bevy of trim choices and specialty models to pore over if they’re willing to spend the cash. The truck driver looking to save some coin will be a little bit dismayed to hear that the price on base model F-150s has gone up. Before […] More »
