    It's not often that an automaker's concept vehicle makes its way out of the auto show circuit's bright lights and into private hands. The 2001 Ford F-150 Lightning concept is an outlier, and it will soon head to auction. Barrett-Jackson has taken the F-150 Lightning concept on consignment for its Scottsdale auction in January. According to the Barrett-Jackson's description, this isn't just a retro-designed concept truck, it actually runs and drives. However, unlike the production F-150 Lightning of the time, the concept sports a 5.4-liter V-8 sans supercharger. The production truck boasted...

  • 2019 Ford Ranger Raptor

    The Raptor version of Ford's mid-size Ranger pickup truck isn't bound for the United States. The information was revealed to Autoblog by Hermann Salenbauch, vehicle line director at Ford Performance, in an interview published Thursday. Two reasons Salenbauch gave were that the Ranger Raptor is based on the global version of the Ranger pickup which differs from the North American model, and that the cost of making it meet local regulations makes the project not viable. When contacted by Motor Authority, a Ford spokesman backed up Salenbauch's comments by reiterating those two reasons. We'll...

    Chevrolet has shown off a group of four 2019 Silverado 1500 concepts it plans on bringing to the 2018 SEMA show next month.

The truck is based on a typical Silverado High Country model but wears unique bronze exterior accents, including the grille and 22-inch wheels.
