History of the 2nd-Gen Ford F-150 SVT Lightning
For almost 30 years, Ford’s F-150 SVT Lightning has been considered by many truck enthusiasts the rig that started the modern age (1990 to present) for high-performance pickups (“muscle trucks”) built by U.S. auto manufacturers. The hopped-up, special-edition F-150, created by Ford’s Special Vehicle Team—a skunkworks within Blue Oval comprised of engineers whose lives revolved

Best American Muscle Trucks
High performance. Pure, unadulterated horsepower and torque. They’re what every gearhead wants from his or her vehicle, and many enthusiasts go to great lengths modifying their rides to the proverbial nth degree in order to achieve the most performance possible. Of course, in most cases the buck doesn’t stop at just raw-dog power. A stylish

Differences Between First-Gen Ford Lightning and F-150
It’s no secret that the bulk of our content focuses on pickup trucks. We don’t talk about big rigs too much (save for an occasional report about Shell Rotella’s SuperRigs event, or other musings about diesel-powered Class-8 trucks), vans as a whole are given cursory mention, and SUVs only garner a modest amount of our

2022 Jeep Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer Four-Wheel-Drive Systems Explained
The recently announced full-size Jeep Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer may not be Trail Rated by Jeep due to their sheer size, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t equipped for dirt-road excursions. In fact, beyond the available skidplates and tow hooks, there are three four-wheel-drive systems, two suspensions systems, Selec-Terrain traction management, and a host of

First Look: 2021 Apocalypse HellFire
There’s no arguing the fact that standard pickup trucks are the MotorTrend Truck Group’s bread and butter. While we regularly cover all varieties of two- and four-wheel-drive rigs, there are occasions when our coverage goes outside that proverbial box, with reports on trucks that aren’t quite as normal. Fort Lauderdale, Florida-based Apocalypse Manufacturing is known

Ford Now Offers 2021 Explorer in King Ranch Trim
Since its introduction in 2001 (on the then-new F-150 SuperCrew), Ford’s “King Ranch” trim package has been available exclusively on Blue Oval’s F-Series pickup trucks, and Expedition SUV. Twenty-years later, and, based on customer feedback and market insights, those ranks are increased by one with Wednesday’s announcement of Explorer now added to the King Ranch

2021 Ranger Tremor First Drive
While we patiently await the unofficially official Ford Ranger Raptor, Ford’s still-excellent Ranger has been relegated to playing in the sandbox with Colorado Z71s and Tacoma TRD Off-Roads with the company’s FX4, while ZR2s and TRD Pros get to venture a little further down the trail. After announcing Tremor versions Super Duty and F-150, Ford

2021 Nissan Armada Platinum First Drive
The large SUV market is a crowded and competitive place to be these days, especially with the recent redesign of the Chevy Tahoe/Suburban and GMC Yukon on new independently suspended platforms.

2019 Ram 1500 Rebel 12: A Year of Many Ups and Few Downs

Chevrolet Reclaims Best-in-Class 1-Ton Towing at 36,000 Pounds
Chevrolet stunned us all when the company announced that its all-new 2020 Silverado 3500HD would have a maximum towing capability of 35,500 pounds. This figure, from the company that for a long time wanted nothing to do with the capability wars, trumped Ram’s figure of 35,100 pounds for its all-new 2019 Ram 3500 (which bested

We Drive The Jeep Wrangler 392 Concept
The one complaint we always hear about the Jeep Wrangler is the lack of power.

First Drive: 2021 Jeep Gladiator Diesel
As vehicle evaluations go, percentages are often used for qualifying a truck’s makeup, capability, etc. A rig’s makeup might have 50 percent of one thing and an equal amount of another, or the ratio can be 70/30, 60/40, and so on. It really doesn’t matter what the ratios are because the math always calculates to
