How Hennessey Transforms the Ford F250 into a 650hp SUV

The folks at Hennessey Performance have created a new package for the Ford F250 Super Duty that transforms one of the toughest trucks on the market into one of the biggest, baddest SUVs on the market – with power levels topping 650 horsepower for the gas engine and 880lb-ft of torque for those with the PowerStroke diesel.

How the Raptor Could Exist in Australia, Where the F150 Does Not

The Raptor name is known in the US as making the Ford F150 the most off-road capable factory half ton truck on the market, but when this dinosaur-themed name comes to the Australian market, it could be a factory off-road package for the smaller Ford Ranger – a truck that Americans won’t be seeing on their local roads anytime soon.

Tacoma Owners Say What They Would Like To See in an Electric Tacoma

I asked this question if Toyota Tacoma drivers are ready to accept an electric Tacoma, should that be available one day. Here are some of the interesting responses people shared under my question at the Toyota Tacoma Enthusiasts FB group.. The general sentiment is openness, but but some improvements are necessary.

One comment writes that while there are hybrid trucks out there he doesn't think an all-electric Toyota Tacoma would be strong enough, but "hey, technology is advancing every day."

New Ford SVT Raptor F150 EcoBoost Could Benefit Full F150 Lineup

The 2017 Ford SVT Raptor F150 that debuted earlier this year at the 2015 Detroit Auto Show is powered by a new 3.5L EcoBoost V6 that has been specially tuned by Ford’s high performance SVT division and if the history of the Raptor is any indication – we could see this high powered EcoBoost V6 in other new F150 pickups in the future.

The New Ramcharger is Just Another Stupid April Fool's Joke

Over the past few weeks, word has spread around the internet that the Chrysler Group’s Ram Truck brand was working on a new large truck-based sport utility vehicle that will be named the Ramcharger, but Im sorry to inform everyone who didn’t realize this at first that the Ramcharger is yet another stupid April Fool’s joke pulled by a publication looking to score traffic with fake news.
