    This is a good looking 1970 Chevrolet C10 pickup truck. It’s had a ton of work done to it, and it appears to be quite well built. Under the hood, you’ll find a 6.2-liter V8 that cranks out 450 horsepower. A six-speed automatic bolts up to a 12-bolt rear end. And the chassis rides right…

  • Your Toyota FJ Cruiser Moment of Zen

    Somewhere in the silt cloud, there’s an FJ Cruiser. A truck that never received a similar reputation as its Land Cruiser and Prado cousins. The mouth-breathers on the forums will forever argue if it’s a true Land Cruiser or not with it’s FJ designation and same but different chassis from the Prado. It is a…

    As part of my work reviewing trucks for Truck Central, I drive all sorts of new pickups and SUVs. This time, however, it’s time to kick it old school… and familiar. I reached out to the gent that purchased my 1965 Ford F100 and he was happy to let me come over and drive the…

    The full-size pickup truck market is the highest grossing and most competitive of all North American vehicle segments. The big three have been competing against each for almost a century. To show just how competitive this market is and how much brand loyalty there is in, Toyota and Nissan have been offering their versions of…

    I love the Ford Raptor. It’s a silly truck that I don’t need, but I’d love to own one if I had the coin. Others out there might like the idea of the Raptor powertrain, but don’t wish to drive a Hot Wheels fever dream of a pickup on a daily basis. Ford has a fresh…

    We live in very interesting times when it comes to automobiles. We have pretty much conquered reliability and safety – by that I mean that most new cars will easily run for 100,000 miles and they’re far from being the death traps they just a few decades ago. Simple oil change intervals have gone from…

    This olelongrooffan is not sure as to whether or not my fellow Hoons remember the oldstationbus of which I was the caretaker for a few years a whiles back. It was a 1963 Ford Falcon Station Bus, a sister to the Ford Econoline. When it was acquired off of the bay that is e out…

    The other day this olelongrooffan was out and about round these Ozark Mountains and came across a vehicle that had previously passed under my relatively limited new car radar. I was unaware that these were even in production as late as 2009, although given their limited production numbers, this olelongrooffan isn’t totally surprised. My fellow…

    We live at a time when Mercedes-Benz sells every single brand new 1970’s military vehicle with leather seats for over $200,000 that they can make. Crazy, right? Not only has the world SUVs exploded, the luxury off-roaders are in high demand now, too. There are after-market companies that specialize in turning utility vehicles into extremely…

    I’m in the process of writing up the review of a Nissan Titan XD with the new Cummins diesel engine. You may have seen the picture on our Facebook page of the Titan towing our Lada Lemons racer. To summarize, my gawd, that engine is just fantastic. Having been a diesel fan before, I am…
