  • 2017 Hennessey VelociRaptor 6x6

    Remember when Hennessey Performance revealed the utterly bonkers VelociRaptor 6x6 a year ago and announced plans to build it? Well, the company wasn’t kidding as it rolled out the first example on Tuesday at the 2017 SEMA show. Based on the F-150 Raptor SuperCrew, the VelociRaptor 6x6 is 4-door performance pickup with locking rear axles, upgraded Fox suspension, custom 20-inch wheels, off-road tires, flared wheel arches, a sport bar and LED lights. Yes, it’s a big, hulking truck, and yes it’s entirely worthy of competing against equally nutty 6-wheelers from across the pond...

  • 2018 Ford F-150 Outlaw WJ750
    This Ford dealer’s Shelby-enhanced F-150 offers up 750 horsepower

    Those with a serious thirst for power no longer need to turn to aftermarket shops since there’s a growing trend where dealers are actually offering new vehicles pre-fitted with top-shelf mods, sometimes with warranties intact. Ohio’s Lebanon Ford kicked off the trend with its...

  • Tuned Ford F-150 beats Challenger Hellcat
    This V-6-powered Ford F-150 beat a Hellcat in the 1/4 mile

    Everyone enjoys a good sleeper, and by that, we mean a vehicle that looks unintimidating but ends up blowing the doors off of the competition. This tuned Ford F-150 is a prime example, and we'd bet it left more than a few drivers upset at a recent round of drag racing. Road & Track reports that...

  • The Ford Raptor has AWD and 4WD
    Yes, the Ford Raptor has both 4WD and AWD

    The Ford Raptor is an impressive beast. It's cozy on the road and a devil in the dirt. There really isn't another choice of vehicle if you're goal is to have a Baja-blasting, dune running, jumping pickup that can handle serious abuse. It boasts a 450-horsepower turbocharged EcoBoost engine under...

  • Ford F-150 Lightning by Pioneer Ford doing a burnout
    Georgia Ford dealer will build you a new F-150 Lightning, and it will kick up smoke

    Since exiting production in 2004, the Ford F-150 Lightning has become a fond memory of not only Ford fans, but truck enthusiasts at large. Ford's decision to replace the Lightning with the F-150 Raptor has left a noticeable absence of high-performance pickups built for straight-line speed. Pioneer...

  • 2017 Pioneer Ford F-150 Lightning
    Ford dealer builds its own 650-horsepower F-150 Lightning

    Remember the Ford F-150 SVT Lightning? The performance pickup lasted through two generations of the F-150 but eventually bowed out with the arrival of the 2004 model, never to return. That is, until now. This Lightning isn’t built by Ford, though. It’s a tribute truck built by the...

  • 2018 Ford Shelby Raptor

    Ford’s F-150 Raptor is an impressive machine straight out of the box, but is there room for improvement? Shelby American seems to think so as the Ford tuner extraordinaire has built a Raptor with more power and torque, plus a host of other mods. Shelby already offers an F-150 Super Snake with a supercharged 5.0-liter V-8 delivering upwards of 750 horsepower. However, in Shelby’s own words, the F-150 Super Snake is a “street-oriented” truck. Cue the Raptor. First up Shelby dials the performance meter on the truck’s 3.5-liter twin-turbocharged V-6 up a few notches...

    The 2017 Ford F-150 Raptor is one heck of a capable truck off-road.

    2018 Ford F-150 first drive review: so good you won't even notice

    When the new Ford F-150 was unveiled in 2015, it was the world's first aluminum pickup truck, an innovation that General Motors and Ram still haven't caught up with. Combined with a pair of twin-turbocharged V-6 engines, Ford's perennial best-seller pushed the art of the truck into an important new...

    The Ford F-Series has been the best-selling vehicle line in the United States for decades, and Ford isn't ready to give that crown up anytime soon.

  • 2017 HPE VelociRaptor vs 2014 VelociRaptor

    No replacement for displacement, you say? Say no more because Hennessey Performance Engineering has shown what forced induction can do with a simple, straight-line drag race. On one side sits the 2014 Ford F-150 VelociRaptor from HPE, which features a supercharged 6.2-liter V-8 engine. On the other side is a brand new, 2017 Ford F-150 VelociRaptor with its 3.5-liter twin-turbocharged V-6 engine. Both engines come from Ford directly, but Hennessey has modified and tuned each to produce 600 horsepower. CHECK OUT: 2017 Ford F-150 Raptor first drive review: one of a kind on road and off So, what...

    Alcon has a powerful brake upgrade for the Ford F-150 Raptor

    Alcon likes big brake kits, and it cannot lie. That's why it's created such a kit for the Ford F-150 Raptor. This is a big rig that manages to haul itself down from speed nicely, but there's always room for improvement. That's what the Alcon brake kit provides. If you upgrade to this kit, you'll...

    How much quicker is a 2017 Hennessey VelociRaptor 600 vs a stock Raptor?

    Hennessey Performance Engineering unveiled its VelociRaptor 600 this past March as a considerable update to the stock 2017 Ford F-150 Raptor, but how much quicker is it? HPE will answer that question directly. The performance house set up a simple quarter-mile drag race to see how its modifications...

  • The Icon Ford Crew Cab Reformer
    Icon builds a perfect retro-modern 1965 Ford F-250

    There is a 1965 Ford F100 in my garage. I've owned it for a few years, performed a few mechanical fixes and upgrades over the years, and I love my truck. It's a good "ten footer" and a pleasure to take on cruises. Jonathan Ward of Icon doesn't build "ten footers." He builds amazing machines to his...

  • 2017 Ford Shelby F-150 Super Snake
    2017 Ford Shelby F-150 Super Snake debuts with 750 horsepower

    Disappointed by Ford’s decision to skip a V-8 in favor of a boosted V-6 for its latest F-150 Raptor? If so, take solace in the knowledge that Shelby American is not only offering an F-150-based performance pickup truck equipped with a V-8, but one supercharged to the tune of 750 horsepower!...

  • 2017 Ford F-150 Raptor

    The 2017 Ford F-150 Raptor's off-road prowess isn't contested often and with good reason. Chevrolet thinks it has found a sweet spot with the 2017 Colorado ZR2—offering a shorter, lighter rock-crawling experience—but the Raptor remains king of the high-power off-road scene. Just ask Ken Block. Ford poured extensive development into the 2017 Raptor to ensure its off-road credentials were unmatched in various areas. To deliver the expected on- and off-road performance, Ford effectively merged all-wheel drive with four-wheel drive. The Raptor's driving modes selector, known as the...

  • Shaq's custom Ford F-650
    Shaquille O'Neal now has a Ford F-650 pickup as his daily driver

    A big guy needs a big truck. Simple math, really. Except, Shaquille O'Neal isn't your average big guy. He's pretty freaking tall by any standard. Measuring 7-foot-1-inch tall and weighing in at a few biscuits more than his 325-pound playing weight, Shaq was on the hunt for a new daily driver. He...

    Living with the 2017 Ford F-150 Raptor: the good and the bad

    We've already flown across the sand, climbed dunes, and picked our way down steep hills like a mountain goat in the 2017 Ford F-150 Raptor. The truck proved to be up the off-road test, but then it should have been. This thing was designed and built to be a desert runner from the get go. Heck, a...

If you happen to be rally racing hero Ken Block and that vehicle is a 2017 Ford F-150 Raptor, you load up the bikes, the wife, and the kids, and do one massive, smokey burnout ahead of a 1,000-mile road trip. Block...

  • Raptor vs. Hellcat Race
    Dodge Challenger Hellcat and Ford F-150 Raptor race around, over a mountain

    It was the question burning on our minds for all of 10 minutes: What's the quickest way to conquer a mountain? Around, or over? Like a forced induction race between a rabbit and a super-powered rabbit, we took the strongest examples to Sugarloaf mountain. Motor Authority editors Andrew Ganz and...

    Ford ready for pickup truck assault in China

    Pickup trucks may be as American as apple pie, but Ford sees a big opportunity for the vehicles in China where the automaker will be introducing its famous “Built Ford Tough” tagline. Ford’s been exporting F-150 Raptor SuperCrews to China since the start of the year, and at its Go...
