Before the Hellcat was spawned, the Dodge Viper’s 8.3-liter V-10 was the top Mopar motor. Someone decided to swap one of those engines into a 2005 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited, and the result is now up for auction via Hemmings. Note that this is the original Wrangler Unlimited. So instead of four doors, like the current […]

Joining in with the big American automakers with some wild SEMA concepts is Toyota. Its custom rides this year are all trucks, including the new 2022 Toyota Tundra full-size truck. The two most impressive were built in-house at Toyota Motorsports Garage, including the showstopping Tacoma “Tacozilla” camper you see above. Let’s dig into them, shall

In the market for a new sticker or graphic for your Jeep Wrangler or Gladiator? Jeep wants to be the place you go to for those appearance extras now, as it just announced a new online store for factory graphics. It’s called the Jeep Graphic Studio, and the customization options are nearly endless. You can

Giving a car a name like “Beast” typically means it’s going to be outrageous, or at least it should be. And that’s exactly what the Chevy Beast concept truck is.

Rivian’s first product, the 2022 R1T full-size pickup, is now in production and initial impressions, including from us, are positive. That should bode well for the company’s efforts to raise additional funds by launching an initial public offering, the prospectus for which was filed in October and amended on Monday.

Ford has finally delivered on a factory-built modern Bronco with V-8 power, only it isn’t street-legal and you’ll need to front up a mid-$200,000 figure to own one. It’s known as the Bronco Desert Racer, or Bronco DR for short, and Ford is developing it as a turnkey racer to take on the Baja 1000.

Not content with showing off a bunch of modified versions of its lineup at SEMA, Ford has decided to introduce the most outrageous 2022 Ford Bronco you’ll be able to buy: the Ford Bronco DR. The “DR” stands for “Desert Runner,” which is exactly what the truck is built for. It’s intended for the Baja

Massachusetts startup Factorial Energy claims its solid-state battery technology is “safer than conventional lithium-ion technology, extends driving range by 20 to 50 percent, and is drop-in compatible for easy integration into existing lithium-ion battery manufacturing infrastructure.” Hyundai’s Cradle division — the concept tech folks who brought its Elevate walking vehicle to CES 2019 — has

Lexus has announced the 2022 LC 500 coupe, 500h hybrid coupe and LC 500 Convertible. The changes are as subtle here as they were on the LS 500. The coupe’s suspension has been “optimized to enhance ground contact feel, linear steering response and steering effectiveness [at] high G,” we’re told, and that’s as close as

We wouldn’t call last year’s F-150 “all-new,” but it was definitely massively and impressively improved. That carries over for the 2022 Ford F-150. Ford basically went through its best-seller with a fine-toothed comb, making small but impactful upgrades that together add up to a truck that’s hard to beat. And that’s totally considering the still-exceptional
