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’...

The idea of turning a car, wagon, or other non-pickup vehicle into a truck of some sort isn't a new one, but it never ceases to amaze when done properly.

After teasing its Tacoma TRD T/X Baja Series Package as a thinly-veiled concept at the 2011 Texas State Fair last September, the package is now just a month out from its showroom debut. In the lead up to its sales launch Toyota has revealed the all-important pricing details for a Tacoma pickup...

Let’s play a little bit of word association: if we say the words “street rod,” what jumps into your head? Is it a chopped and slammed 1932 Ford Coupe? A 1957 Chevy Bel Air, stuffed with a blown small block Chevy? Perhaps a “lead sled” Mercury? Whatever you envision...

Last year, Mercedes-Benz celebrated the 60th anniversary of its Unimog, a heavy-duty commercial vehicle built for the toughest conditions.

We recently saw Ford’s customized small car lineup set for debut next week at the annual Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) show in Las Vegas, and today the automaker is previewing its vehicles from the other end of the spectrum--pickups and SUVs. The focus is on the 2011 F-Series...

BMW has gone hybrid once again, and this one looks like a lot of fun: 335 horsepower, 335 pound-feet of torque, plus some all-electric range, all wrapped in the 5-Series package. Mercedes-Benz, on the other hand, thinks you need to smell better, and U.K. traffic officials want to scan your tires...

Looks like the 2012 Ford F-150 SVT Raptor isn’t the only highlight of this week’s 2011 Texas State Fair. Toyota has rolled out a similar performance-themed pickup based on the Tacoma, which for now is only a concept but has already been confirmed for production. Described as a...

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...

We don't usually do pickups, but this one is too cool to resist.
