Engineers at Ford pushed the truck harder than most owners will push it over its lifetime to see how it will perform. The results are excellent.

One of the rumors that never seems to die is that Ford will resurrect the Bronco name and once again build the iconic off-roader. But one thing many of you who want it fail to realize is that it won’t be like the Broncos of old.

What happens when you sign pitcher Jon Lester to your team to the tune of a $155 million contract? He goes out and buys a F-250 to modify, of course!

Last year, the Midwest suffered from a snowy winter that never seemed like it was going to end. This year, that privilege has been bestowed onto the people of the Northeast. But if you live anywhere that gets that cold white stuff, you really should go out and buy snow tires. Like right now. Even if you have 4WD. You’ll thank me later.

Off-roading is fun, but also challenging. For this Toyota driver, it proved to be extra challenging.

After a long day of delayed flights and heavy traffic, I steer the Raptor out of the city and quickly find rural Texas. I turn down a gravel-covered county road, hit the “Off Road” button and lock the rear end.

If you watch the Red Bull Frozen Rush, you’re going to see trucks capable of supercar acceleration doing things that would make a Raptor wince.
