  • 2018 Ford F-150 Power Stroke

    Favorable climates breed diversity in any species. Ford detailed this week its 2018 F-150 Power Stroke diesel engine, the first time a diesel has been offered in the mega-selling pickup in its 70-year history, and the sixth engine configuration available to shoppers today. The diesel engine won’t be the last option coming soon to the F-150: the automaker has already confirmed that a seventh, a hybrid powertrain, is on the way. With hundreds of thousands of pickups sold in the U.S. each year, it may be no surprise that Ford would consider adding more variety to its powertrain lineup...

    Brazilian Ford F-75 originally started out as a Willys

    Ford F-150 traces its pickup truck roots all the way to 1917

    The Ford F-150 is arguably one of the most iconic vehicles ever. Although the F-150 name arrived in 1975, the pickup traces its root to 1917 when Ford produced its very first pickup truck. From that day forward, the Ford pickup transformed how Americans looked at the automobile. We go back in time...

  • 2017 Hennessey VelociRaptor 6x6

Note, this is with the 2018 Mustang GT’s V-8 which benefits from a new port and direct injection fuel system. Speaking of fuel, the power is achieved on regular 93 octane pump gas, despite the boost...

  • 2017 Pioneer Ford 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 dealership Pioneer Ford of Bremen, Georgia, and it has a stout 650 horsepower all for the very reasonable price tag of $49,661. That’s quite the leap in performance compared to the last Lightning. In case you’ve forgotten, it had 380 hp in its final iteration. Pioneer Ford’s Lightning...

The F-150 Police Responder starts life as a 2018 F-150 FX4 Super Crew with a 3.5-liter, twin-turbocharged V-6. That engine is good for 375 horsepower and 470 pound-feet of torque, which gets to the road via a 10-speed automatic transmission. The result is a 100-mph top...

    Icon builds a perfect retro-modern 1965 Ford F-250
