It's highly entertaining to watch as the...

Term limits don't apply to the new car industry. If they did, the 2017 Nissan Frontier you see here wouldn't be a dead-ringer for the 2005 Nissan Frontier that hit dealer lots during George W. Bush's first term. A lot has changed since 2005. But not the Frontier. Sure, it's up for a redesign, but...

What happens when an old truck is tuned to make 1,200 horsepower from a Cummins diesel engine? Rubber is burned, and plumes of tire smoke are created. Hoonigan had Chuckle's Garage stop by with this monster: a vintage Ford pickup truck turned into a lean, mean, racing machine. As mentioned, it...

Ford announced on Thursday that it's adding an even more hardcore F-150-based police car to its lineup.

Jeep will finally answer enthusiasts' wishes with a Wrangler-based pickup truck, probably in late 2019, but in the meantime, this custom Jeep Renegade pickup should pique your interest. The Renegade "Comanche" pickup was discovered for sale by The Drive and it's quite a marvelous build. It takes a...

Mercedes-Benz chose Cape Town, South Africa to reveal the production version of its X-Class pickup truck. Why Cape Town? Because South Africa will be one of the markets where the truck will be sold, along with Europe, Australia, and South America. Mercedes calls the X-Class the world's first...

The Ford Ranger may have vanished from North American shores years ago, but it's soldiered on in other countries around the world.

The...

When I was just a wee lad, I spent countless hours in the sandbox playing with my Hot Wheels and Tonka trucks. The scale discrepancy didn't bother me because the Tonka trucks worked great for grading the sand into roads and freeway off-ramps for my Hot Wheels. I eventually lost countless Hot Wheels...

Shoppers are buying trucks as fast as automakers can build them—and for big money. Take one look at GMC's Denali and that's all you need to know. Now, Ram wants to join the party in the 2018 Ram 1500 Tungsten Edition. The Tungsten Edition builds upon the truck's Limited trim and adds more...

Ford today announced a series of engine upgrades for the 2018 F-150 and Expedition, and they are all designed to improve both power and fuel economy.

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...

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...

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!...
