The 1988 Ford Ranger GT you see in the video here packs a V8 attached to a massive, 94-millimeter turbo. That combination is set up to pump out around 1,600 horsepower, but it can be dialed in to produce as much as 2,000.
Lightning, whether it's the kind that bolts down from the clouds or the automotive type that Ford stopped building a decade ago, is fast. The type that brightens the sky can hit you in a split second. The Blue Oval variety doesn't flash across the quarter-mile mark quite that quickly, but it's still a force of nature.
This week’s Truckin' Fast brings us a clip of a newer Ford F-250 pickup racing against a C6 Chevrolet Corvette Z06. Now, if we were watching a race between a stock F-250 and a stock C6 Z06, we could expect to see the truck take a beating at the hands of one of the best performing American cars ever.
The all-new Ford Explorer rolled into the Los Angeles Auto Show for its global debut today.
This video features a Harley-Davidson Edition Ford F-150 doing a quick but incredible burnout. While the SVT Lightning gets the majority of attention in the world of on-road performance pickups, the Harley-Davidson Edition F-150 offered from 1999 through 2003 packed a similar supercharged V8 measuring 5.4 liters.
Sometimes the best rides can be found in the parking lot. Take this 1977 Ford F-150 Ranger for instance. The mean, green giant was featured in the Cheap Truck Challenge in Petersen's 4-Wheel & Off-Road Magazine last year. They like to call it "Raymond" and their goal was to create "a hardcore wheeler with the look and feel of an old farm truck."
We've certainly seen countless crazy jumps, but this one is most definitely one of the most spectacular. This is a Ford Raptor race truck, and it is made for the dunes on Pismo Beach.
