Nissan has renewed its efforts in the full-size truck market with a redesigned Titan and a Titan XD that sits between the light and heavy duty segments. The rollout started late in 2015 with the XD, and the light duty Titan followed last year. Both trucks have thus far been offered as two-door...

Truck owners like to make their rolling toolboxes stand out from the crowd. For them, Ram has just introduced two special edition pickup trucks headed to the 2017 Chicago auto show starting Thursday. For those looking for a more street-sport oriented truck, there's the 2017 Ram 1500 Copper Sport...

Las Vegas – If it were a teenager, it'd do things just “for the lulz.” Fiat Chrysler is starting to take that approach, and it's making this Italian-American brand one of the most absurd automakers on the market. CAFE standards? Start stuffing a supercharged, 6.2-liter V-8 into...

Ford’s F-150 Raptor has been a hot commodity in China for years though it’s never officially been sold there, so most that have made it over arrived as gray imports. That’s no longer the case as Ford is now selling the Raptor in its Chinese showrooms and this week shipped the...

General Motors Company’s [NYSE:GM] Australian division Holden will shutter its plant in October, ending four decades of Aussie-built, rear-wheel-drive Commodore tradition in the process—as well as resulting in the demise of the Chevrolet SS. A redesigned Commodore has been revealed, but...

Despite a price tag of around half a million dollars and the fact the vehicle barely squeezed into a regular parking spot, Mercedes-AMG’s G63 6x6 proved such a hit that a tamer, four-wheeled version was introduced in the form of the Mercedes-Benz G550 4x4². But the G63 6x6 is a pickup...

Believe it or not but this orange monster comes from a company backed by the man who designed cars like the Aston Martin Vantage, BMW Z8 and Fisker Karma.

There’s a new version of the Ram 1500 Rebel, though sadly it isn’t the Hellcat-powered TRX that Fiat Chrysler Automobiles [NYSE:FCAU] teased us with last fall. It’s the 1500 Rebel Black, and it makes its debut on January 9 at the 2017 Detroit auto show. As the name suggests, the...

The 2017 Ford Motor Company [NYSE:F] F-150 Raptor has finally landed, and it’s better than its predecessor in pretty much every way possible. The only downside, at least to some, is that the second-generation model ditches the original’s V-8 in favor of a twin-turbocharged V-6. It may...

Sports cars are great at going fast around corners, but you know what they can't do? They can't rip across the desert, they can't crawl over rocks, and they can't perform glorious jumps over sand dunes. You know what can? This beast can. It's the Ford F-150 Raptor, and for 2017 it's here for a...

Some of us may fondly remember the Ford Motor Company [NYSE:F] F-150 SVT Lightning.

The Lightning lasted through two generations of the...

Chevrolet’s Colorado ZR2 promises to be one heck of an off-roader, and one of the main reasons is the truck’s unique shock absorbers. To achieve the desired performance, Multimatic, the company that builds the Ford Motor Company [NYSE:F] GT and numerous other race cars, had to invent a...

The Ram 1500 may be among the oldest full-size pickup designs on the market, but that isn't stopping FCA's Fiat Chrysler Automobiles' [NYSE:FCAU] truck brand from hitting the 2016 Los Angeles Auto Show auto show with a couple of new special editions.

We’re still hoping for Ram to put its awesome Rebel TRX concept into production but until that happens your best bet at a Ram-badged rival to Ford Motor Company’s [NYSE:F] F-150 Raptor is the Power Wagon. Built on Ram’s 2500 platform, the Power Wagon gets a new, more aggressive...
