(May 14, 2023) Ford’s crossover-based Maverick pickup comes standard as an 42-MPG hybrid starting at $22,595.  It even looks great in its standard steelie wheels with a cloth interior.  Good luck getting one, though, because the order books are closed for 2023.  Still, some may want a bit more attitude and capability than base models provide.  For them, let’s take a spin in the uplifted and face-lifted Maverick Tremor.

(April 30, 2023) When Ford resurrected the iconic Bronco brand for 2021 — first with the compact crossover Bronco Sport followed shortly thereafter by the real deal Ford Bronco 4X4 challenger to the Jeep Wrangler — it channeled the historic Bronco that dated back to 1966 when it first launched the rugged off-roader.

(April 23, 2023) Desert racing began nearly 50 years ago in the Mexican Baja and in 1967 this crazy, addictive motorsport became known as the Baja 1000. Over the years this epic endurance race has attracted hundreds of racing legends, celebrities, thrill-seeking dare devils and rank amateurs to Northern Mexico just south of San Diego, California and Ensenada, Mexico.  It’s  the longest non-stop point-to-point race in the world.

(December 4, 2022) Working from a clean sheet of paper, automakers have for the most part created nothing short of outstanding products with their new electric vehicles. Test drive one at your favorite dealer and you're in danger of falling in love with whatever model you've picked out. Manufacturers have done their part so far in convincing the public that driving gas-free is the new way to go.

(September 21, 2022) While it isn’t quite the Rubicon Trail located in California’s historic gold rush territory in the Sierra Nevada, the 27,000-acre Butcher Jones OHV, UTV, ATV and Off-Road Trail system Recreation Site in Arizona was the perfect location to test the limits of Ford’s new and nearly unstoppable Bronco Raptor. It’s the most capable production off-road vehicle ever built snatching that title from its Jeep Wrangler competitor.

The cabin now sports a fresh dashboard design similar to the one in the recently redesigned F-150 pickup. Added to the lineup is the off-road oriented Timberline edition, which elevates ground clearance to a class-leading 10.6 inches, and the Stealth Edition Performance Package, which comes outfitted with 440 horsepower and 480 pound-feet of torque.

(June 22, 2022) A quick Mustang history lesson — The 2002 Ford Mustang V-8 came with 260 horsepower and 302 pound-feet of torque and could complete a 0-to-60 run in about 5.5 seconds. We bring these statistics up should you scoff two decades later at the 2.3-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder (called EcoBoost in Ford parlance) in the 2022 Mustang 2.3. A four cylinder in the newest version of Ford's muscle car? Hey, the EcoBoost 4 has a lot of muscle at its disposal, enough to leave the two-decade-old Mustang 5.0 in the dust.
