You may be wondering why Ford gave an electric vehicle the Mustang name. I mean, is an EV really deserving of such an honor? The Mustang is an industry icon, paving the way for other performance cars to emerge, so there’s no way a battery-electric vehicle can compete with a legend—right? Well, of course, these […]
Since 2010, Ford’s F-150 Raptor has been the apex predator in the world of off-road pickups. From its high-output twin-turbo V6 (or the 720-horsepower supercharged V8 found in the high-performance Raptor R) to the upgraded suspension with FOX internal bypass dampers and rear coil springs, there’s no mistaking the Raptor for any other F-150 model. […]
While other forms of motorsports rely on highly specialized race cars that are virtually unusable outside of a track, rally cars must handle a wide range of road conditions and are commonly based on street-going vehicles. In fact, most of them are even street-legal and transit open road sections between the special stages where they […]
2025 marks the Ford Mustang’s diamond jubilee as this quintessential pony car celebrates 60 years on the market. Ford is doing its part to get in on the festivities, gifting 2025 Ford Mustang drivers with everything from a 315-hp turbo four-cylinder to a 500-hp V8 Dark Horse and a 60th Anniversary Edition that’s limited to […]
When the Ford Bronco reappeared on showroom floors in 2021, it was more than the return of a famous off-road vehicle after a quarter-century hiatus. It also marked a new era for one of the most famous racing automobiles. The Bronco has long been a trusted steed in off-road racing circles, and with new Broncos […]
Three-row SUVs are a popular choice for busy families, and it’s easy to see why. Models like the Ford Explorer offer plenty of cargo and passenger space, not to mention all those comfort, convenience, and safety features that have become an increasingly important consideration for many of today’s drivers. Add in the SUV’s lofty ride […]
When you’re shopping for a Ford F-150 these days, you have seemingly countless options available. From high-value options like the XL, STX, and XLT to premium trims like the Lariat, King Ranch, and Platinum to off-road models like the Tremor, Raptor, and Raptor R, there is an F-150 model for everyone. But it wasn’t always […]
Ford is no stranger to outlandish electric race cars. In 2022, it unveiled an ultra-high-performance version of the Ford Transit EV at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, humbling supercars from Porsche, Ferrari, and McLaren at the British hill climb. The year after that, the improved SuperVan 4.2 made its appearance on the slopes of Pikes […]
Ford turned a lot of heads when it brought back the famous Bronco for the 2021 model year. There hadn’t been a new Bronco sighting since 1996, which was the last year for the original model. The 25-year break worked out well, and rather than simply bringing back the Bronco as a standard midsize SUV, […]
There are a few prerequisites for any vehicle that’s looking to try its luck on challenging off-road terrain. A little extra ground clearance is essential, as are specialized off-road tires that maximize traction on uneven or loose surfaces, but if there was just one area to focus on, it would have to be the suspension. […]
As a huge fan of the Mustang’s entire glorious history, from the original 1964-½ fastback to the seventh-gen Dark Horse, I’ve been eagerly following along with the Mustang Mach-E’s ongoing development. I must say, when Ford announced the EV in 2019, my curiosity was piqued by the decision to attach the Mustang name to a […]
Since it burst on the scene in 2010, the F-150 Raptor has turned heads with its brash performance and devil-may-care attitude. In their original review, MotorTrend described it as what happens when hot rodders decide to go off-road racing. For my money, it’s the vehicle that truly spawned the “mainstream super-truck” category of souped-up trucks […]
Those in the market for a thrilling ride have no shortage of stylish, curve-hugging sports cars to choose from. Names like Porsche, Mercedes, BMW, and Mazda tend to dominate this high-speed market sector, but those seeking a decidedly different way to burn a little rubber have an inciting new option, courtesy of Ford. While the […]
As a proud member of a loyal Ford family, my father-in-law surprised me the other day when he called and said, “Don’t let me go to a Ford dealer anytime soon. I had a dream that I bought a new Mustang.” He isn’t the only one dreaming. All eyes are on the iconic Mustang lineup, […]
The Ford F-150 Raptor R is a feat of modern pickup design. Built with high-speed off-road antics in mind, the full-size truck comes packed with a full suite of heavy-duty gear that allows drivers to overcome rocks, mud, sand, and whatever else the trail might throw at them. While the pickup’s 37-inches tires, Fox Dual […]
Though electric trucks are still an emerging segment in the automotive market, the fact remains that the electric future is here. Ford has been touting the F-150 Lightning as equal to the standard gasoline-powered F-150, which is fantastic news for drivers who rely on pickup trucks for towing, stowing, and going. However, there hasn’t been […]
If you’ve seen any Chevy trucks for sale near you lately, you may have noticed the Multi-Flex tailgate, which was released on the 2021 Silverado 1500. While the Multi-Flex and its inner gate may look a bit strange next to a traditional tailgate, it fits in perfectly with the lineup of flashy new tailgate designs […]
For over 100 years, racers have been flocking to Colorado’s Front Range to participate in one of motorsport’s most unique competitions. The Pikes Peak International Hill Climb (PPIHC), also known as The Race to the Clouds, might only cover 12.5 miles, but it’s a decidedly vertical 12.5 miles where racers gain almost 5,000 feet of […]
American-made sports cars seem to be rare breeds these days, as a lot of them are being phased out for alternative fuel vehicles. Heck, even the Corvette and Mustang––which are now the last remaining American-made V8 sports cars––have alternative-fuel models available. But if you haven’t been convinced to give up on the sacred internal combustion […]
When the Ford Mustang Mach-E burst onto the scene in December 2020, it signaled a new era for both Ford performance and Ford EVs. Now entering its fourth year of production, the 2024 Mustang Mach-E is aiming to raise the bar even higher. Although technically a compact crossover SUV, Ford is aiming to show that […]
