There’s an old expression that goes along the lines of, “those who can’t do, teach.” If the information we’re sharing here today is any indication, this expression deserves to be tossed out of the window entirely. For those who are on the outside of the worlds of off-roading or high-octane performance looking in, there are […]
There have been some intense rivalries throughout history: Batman vs Superman, Harry Potter vs Voldemort, Autobots vs Decepticons. But now we have one more epic battle to watch unfold: the 2023 Ford F-150 vs 2023 Chevy Silverado 1500. More specifically, it is the F-150 Raptor R against the Silverado ZR2 Bison. Both trims are designed […]
Fuel economy has never been the pickup segment’s strong suit, but it’s been on an upward trend over the past few decades. Take the Ford F-150, for example. America’s best-selling truck has come a long way since the mid-1980s, upping its average miles-per-gallon by a significant margin as the automaker continues to perfect its engines […]
Everyone knows all about the Ford Bronco by now. It’s back and bigger than ever after Ford revitalized the classic brand and gave it a nice little modernized makeover to fit expectations and capabilities within today’s automotive industry. A large focus of the midsize SUV’s appeal is in its off-road capabilities, especially as Ford has […]
When you were a kid, did you play with toy cars? Did you ever watch a diecast car go flying through the air, race a remote-controlled car through the yard, or tote buckets of sand into the house in your iconic yellow dump truck? If you said yes to any of those, then you are […]
The Ford Mach-E marks the latest entry in the “models you never thought would see an electric version” category. Essentially an all-electric crossover SUV inspired by the brand’s iconic Mustang pony car, the Mach-E joins with the all-electric F-150 Lightning to prove how far the EV category has come since the wedge-shaped utilitarian models of […]
The Ford lineup has always been about delivering fantastic vehicles that meet the needs of drivers, whether that’s a powerful truck that helps someone get their job done or a comfortable SUV designed to ease one’s daily commute. That means there is a huge variety of vehicles waiting at any given used Ford dealership to […]
I’m not sure how large the overlap might be in the Venn diagram of “car fans” and “stamp collectors,” but even if it’s not very big, I still think there are plenty of us who can appreciate some nice car-related artwork. If that artwork happens to be on something functional, like a postage stamp, then […]
Ford’s F-Series of pickup trucks may be the brand’s best-seller—and, in fact, the country’s best-seller—but it’s not the only Ford model with a rich history and modern popularity. Small SUVs are a popular segment in the American auto market, and Ford’s Escape has been one of the Top 25 best-selling vehicles in the country for […]
2023 marks a banner year for Ford’s Super Duty lineup, which receives its first major update since 2017. New for 2023, the Super Duty’s fifth generation includes some of the most hard-working, capable vehicles on the market, from Class 2 and 3 pickups to chassis cab models that edge into Class 4 and 5 territories. […]
What is it about the truck that makes us feel like we need to flex our proverbial muscles and bare our metaphorical teeth in a display of dominance? Are trucks simply a virile display or is it deeper than that? Perhaps it is because trucks are a tool that allows us to push our boundaries […]
The look and feel of a classic vehicle never really leaves you. One good example is the Bronco from the old years—you know, the times before 1996. Whether you had one for yourself or you only know it from history, like in Evan Riley’s deep dive here at CarLifeNation, there is something special about the […]
The Ford F-150 is a true automotive success story. Since its debut in 1948, Ford’s marquee pickup has risen through the ranks to become not only America’s best-selling truck but the best-selling vehicle of any kind. With strong sales and an even stronger reputation, Ford has been able to take some risks with the F-150 […]
The Ford Mustang made its debut on April 17, 1964 at the New York World’s Fair. I was just over two weeks old, so I guess I can be forgiven for not remembering the event. Even so, the great Wilson Pickett immortalized the Mustang in the song “Mustang Sally.” For those who don’t remember, the […]
When it was announced that the Ford Bronco was being resurrected, millions of Ford devotees and nostalgia buffs were overcome with excitement. With SUVs continuing on their upward trajectory in immense popularity and appeal, it only makes sense that one of the forebears of the vehicle class would return to the fold and reclaim its […]
What do you do when you need a roomy family car with comfortable seats and plenty of cargo space, but you still want to have fun behind the wheel? You buy a 2023 Ford Explorer. Cars that can cart around the kids during the day while still giving you a burst of adrenaline when you […]
Back in November, Ford announced that the EcoSport had finally met its timely and unlamented end. Ford’s smallest SUV never had much going for it beyond its low price, as its decidedly unsporty engine options weren’t even that eco-friendly. However, the discontinuation of the EcoSport means more to car enthusiasts than the chance to say […]
While the return to normalcy following the global pandemic was welcomed with enthusiasm, there was another issue that, while not as dangerous or life-threatening, hindered the pursuit of a better quality of life. This came in the form of a worldwide microchip shortage. Vehicles are more complex than they’ve ever been, with many having onboard […]
“Competition whose motive is merely to compete, to drive some other fellow out, never carries very far.” Henry Ford’s wise words are fitting, considering he experienced numerous failures before finally finding his footing with the Ford Motor Company and the Model T in the early 1900s. Even then, he competed with himself, always working toward […]
If there’s a rivalry more competitive than the one between Ford and Chevy, we’re certainly unaware of it. From the earliest days of the automobile and the advent of mass production to the golden age of the muscle car when supremacy on the blacktop was waged between the Mustang and Camaro, all the way up […]
