Yep, there’s a Hellcat engine under the hood of this massive thing

Crack open the popcorn, folks-this is the 692hp Hellcat-engined Ram 1500 TRX, the first major competitor that the Ford F-150 Raptor has had to deal with in the history of ever. And it's got what all those Raptor

“Is there such a thing as too much light?”

Here's a question the Land Transportation Office (LTO) has tried to answer at the expense of off-road enthusiasts: How much light on a car is too much light? Ken Block's answer? Well, let's just say we hope he

Dear lord

A fresh coat of black paint and a couple of streaks of red-yep, we think we may have just found something to replace the A-Team's GMC Vandura. We pity the fool that begs to disagree.What is this exactly?

A prerunner that’s also road-legal—in Arizona, at least

The first thing you need to know about the Reaper is that despite the word 'Ford' emblazoned across the grille, it's not really a Raptor-and not based on any Ford truck, for that matter. This thing rides on a chassis

One of the most impressive creations we’ve seen as of late

It's pretty much a fact that Ford's trucks make for a good canvass for both off-road and aftermarket junkies to go crazy on, but we come across heavily modded Ford pickups so often-just like the vast display of

That’s the same 3.5-liter EcoBoost powertrain also found in the Ford GT

You may have not heard about this, but the Ford Ranger has seen quite a lot of success as a full-fledged rally truck, specifically in the South African Country Cross Series (SACCS).For the last two years, the Ford Castrol Cross

They’re big, bad, and in your face

Sort of defies design logic, the new RS6. It's brash, it's ultra-aggressive, it's festooned with slashes and lines and creases and bumps, and the grille is straight from Audi's XXL wardrobe. And yet-while you'd struggle

This or the Raptor?

If you find the F-150 a tad too tame, but are unwilling to make the jump to a full-fledged performance beast like the Raptor, Ford has a solution for you.This is the Ford F-150 RTR-a more intimidating

When too much is just right

Say hello to a rather large slice of 'Murica. It's a Ford F-150 Raptor-a TG favorite-that's been modified by Roush, a US tuner that specializes in upgrading F-150s and Mustangs.Usually this modifying revolves around power,

A glowing addition to his growing garage

If you haven't noticed by now, Internet drift sensation and YouTube media star Ken Block has a thing for over-the-top liveries. We've seen it on his 1977 F-150 'Hoonitruck,' his World Rally Championship Fiesta, his Escort, and,

Buy a brand-new Ford F-150 Raptor and it no longer comes equipped with a V8-instead, it uses a 3.5-liter V6 turbo derived from a Ford GT engine. This has displeased some people, and Hennessey is here to

You don't need a reason, do you?

As unlikely combos go, the Ford F-150 Raptor and Nurburgring is right up there. Mixing the two shouldn't work, but as drift ace Vaughn Gittin Jr so brilliantly demonstrates in this video, it so, so does.Watch as he slithers

Not bad for cruising

That looks like a tight squeeze...Yep. This is a US-market Ford F-150 Raptor, and we've shoehorned it onto a tight and twisting British B-road. Not really its natural home.Ford knows it, too, and we won't

This thing is nuts

Why does anyone need six wheels?Well, it's a long-held philosophy that more wheels are better. It's simple math. More wheels equal more rubber, more traction and more social status. A theorem that finds purchase down in Texas, home

Off-road #goals

We'd be happy with the 'plain' F-150 Raptor

What does a Ford F-150 Raptor share with a Lockheed Martin F-22 Raptor? That's right, besides its name, literally nothing whatsoever. But that hasn't stopped Ford from creating this one-off F-22-themed F-150, which raised $

It runs on military-spec rims

Not a single person, except perhaps John Hennessey, has ever looked a Ford Raptor in the headlight and thought "yes, this is excellent. I just wish it was a bit more...extreme." Well, turns out Mr. Hennessey is not alone. Welcome, everyone

Just how tough is this pickup?

The frankly polite noises the engine and exhaust produce just do not match the unhinged madness unleashed by this second-gen desert pre-runner. Something this big, this fast and this capable needs a well-thrashed V8 on full song to provide

A Ford F-150 Raptor on steroids

VelociRaptor. Yep, one of the best car names ever has returned as John Hennessey-a man who likes to make fast things faster-has got underneath the awesome new Ford F-150 Raptor and made it even more...well, awesome.Using the

The truck of our dreams

What is it?This is the new 2017 Ford F-150 Raptor. The previous version exited the Ford pick-up range back in 2014 as the all-conquering, V8-powered desert sled. It was so good, we couldn't really see what
