Pickup Trucks (Page 67)

Wouldn’t that be a great way to start the summer.

Carslane has published a story discussing the possibility of electric Tesla pickup truck and speculating that the concept will be unveiled later this year and the truck will be available in 2017.

The Ram 1500 Rebel is the newest Moparized vehicle, joining the Dodge Challenger, the Dodge Charger, the Dodge Dart and the Chrysler 300 on the list of vehicles given the factory upgrade treatment, but as has been the case in the past – the Mopar 16 Ram will be limited to just 500 units.

Ford Motor Company hasn’t announced exactly when the 2017 F150 pickups with the new 10-speed automatic transmission will reach dealerships, but the image above – showing the shift indicator area of the F150 gauge cluster – leads me to believe that the arrival of the industry’s first 10-speed gearbox cant be far off.

Demand for mid-size trucks is hot and the 2016 Nissan Frontier is benefitting. Why is Titan going backward?

I recently had a chance to put a pair of 2016 Ford F150 pickups to work – one with the 5.0L V8 and the other with the 3.5L EcoBoost V6 – and today I bring you my views on how these two powerful F150 engines size up to each other when run through my hauling, towing and daily driving tests.

Ford Motor Company has issued a recall for select 2013-2014 Ford F150 pickups equipped with the premium 3.5L EcoBoost V6 over a concern that the master cylinder could be leaking – leading to a possible loss of braking forces and an increased risk of an accident.
