  • Tanner Foust takes the Ford F-150 SVT Raptor to the Nordschleife

    There really aren't words to describe how out-of-place a pickup truck feels in Europe. Americans simply can't formulate the proper mentality. But seeing the reactions of Europeans helps give us an idea. What about seeing not just any ordinary pickup truck, but a Ford F-150 SVT Raptor? And not just on any ordinary street, but on the Nürburgring's Nordschleife? And when that pickup is four-wheel powersliding through turns, bounding over apex markers, and catching European sports cars? It strains the language beyonds its capability. It is, for lack of any appropriately descriptive word...

    Ford F-150 Tuner Trucks Headed To SEMA, Too

    The best-selling vehicle in Ford’s lineup is the F-Series pickup, and that’s been the case for many years. If Ford is using SEMA to highlight other hot sellers, like the Escape and Fusion, it stands to reason that tuned F-Series pickups would command booth space, too. Truckin’...

  • Ford's F-150 FX4 NASCAR pace truck

    If you think full-size pickups are just for tradesmen, ranchers and those needing to haul boats, trailers or race cars, think again. Proving that pickups can also haul something else, Ford has announced that the official pace truck of Sunday’s NASCAR Sprint Cup Race at Michigan International Speedway will be the 2013 Ford F-150 FX4 EcoBoost. EcoBoost F-150 models come with a twin-turbo V-6 engine, rated at 365 horsepower and 420 pound-feet of torque, which is enough to propel the pickup from 0-60 mph in less than seven seconds. EcoBoost models also get an EPA rating of 16 mpg city and...

  • 2012 Ford F-150 SVT Raptor

    Ford’s toughened up F-150 SVT Raptor has been a hot-seller since its launch back in 2009 and to keep things bubbling along we’ve seen a few major updates made in the meantime, although the winning formula of a purpose-built off-road performance pickup has stayed true. We now have a new 2012 Ford F-150 Raptor, once again demonstrating Ford’s focus on raising the bar for off-road capabilities in a production truck, offering plenty of extras and all the toughness that we’ve come to love in the F-150 SVT Raptor line. A new Torsen front differential is one such upgrade...

  • Ford F-150 EcoBoost Engine Teardown

    Ford will be putting the reliability of its EcoBoost engines on the line with a public demonstration of an F-150 EcoBoost engine teardown at next week’s 2011 Detroit Auto Show. The teardown process essentially involves the engine being stripped into its individual components and then analyzed to see how well they all held up.

This represents roughly 10 years of rugged use or a distance equal to six times around the earth or three...

    Ford's Taurus SHO has to be one of the best examples of a wolf in sheep's clothing. Traditionally the Taurus has been rather neutral in terms of styling.
