February 3rd, 2021 is the confirmed launch date for the third-generation Ford Raptor, and the million-dollar question revolves around its muscle: will it return to V8 motivation? Until we get our answer, we ve brought along a test involving the current F-150 Raptor, with its twin-turbo V6, and the supercharged HEMI monster that is the 2021 Ram 1500 TRX.

The Fastest Bed in the World Is a Thing That Exists, Based on a Ford Mustang GT 18 Jan 2021, 10:47 UTC ·

Guinness records are, some might say, a dime a dozen, and they’re awarded for the most random and strangest feats. Be that as it may, they still require a very special skill or at least the ability to learn one that no one else has, and money to get the Guinness commission to certify the record attempt.
This particular record had both: it had professional racing driver Tom Onslow-Cole for the “skill” part, and it had backing from Hotels.com, a major hotel booking online platform, disguised as marketing money. Put it differently; the company was looking to launch a new booking service for the Middle East and, in order to do so with a bang, it aimed to set a new Guinness World Record.

The Blue Oval is on a roll these first days of 2021, especially when discussing how its commercial vehicles are doing sales wise. After the 44th consecutive sales leadership of the F-Series in America, we also just found out the Ranger was crowned as the most popular pickup truck across Europe. And the company is clearly aiming for an even better evolution in 2021. 21 photos
Ford is gradually moving away from less profitable sectors of the automotive industry, increasingly focusing on what consumers like the most. For the time being, that means crossovers, SUVs, and lots of pickup trucks. In Europe, those would be the little Puma and the fully electric Mustang Mach-E, as well as the Ranger.

The 1960s must have been great years to live through. The threat of complete nuclear annihilation aside, the decade will forever live in human memory as the time of revolution, excess, and the race for the stars. As far as what concerns us the most, the auto industry was completely reshaped that decade, with the post-war design going out to leave room to the lines and bodies we love to this day. 16 photos
Revolution and excess may not have inspired how cars were drawn, but the space race did; as humanity’s first venture beyond the confines of its own planet, the space race was sung in movies, books, painting, but also in the way the cars were shaped or named.
1969 Ford F-100 Crew Cab Rides Low, but Not Because of the 572 BBF or GM Tranny 18 Jan 2021, 12:15 UTC ·

With 14 generations and counting, Ford’s F-Series is not just America’s best-selling pickup truck range for the past 44 years (and the most popular vehicle overall since 1981). It’s also one of the best providers of raw material for personalized and utterly bespoke custom builds. Really, it doesn’t matter if you go classic or modern, because with care and professional help, the result will always go beyond the owner’s dreams. 26 photos
Because there’s ample room for morphing the F-Series trucks into anything envisioned by one’s imagination – including the ability to do ghost burnouts – it s always a good idea to get some professional help. Or, better yet, be that professional.
