When the 2017 Ford GT was announced earlier this year, it was reasonable to assume that it’s going to be a little different from its mid-2000s predecessor. It will be.

Pickup trucks seem to be getting more and more expensive with the passing of time. The Ford Motor Company sells more F-150s in the $50,000 and up price range than any other vehicle.

Even though Ford reps have stated that there is no F-150-based Bronco project in the works, the rumors persist – partially due to the fact that Ford Motor Company recently trademarked the Bronco name.

In addition to dominating the pickup truck world and selling some pretty bad ass sports cars, Ford has a fast growing utility division.

While everyone might be clamoring for the newest EcoBoost Raptor, or cannot stop talking about how the aluminum skin of the new F-150 is hurting sales figures, I’d like to talk about something a bit different. Something classic.

This video features a 9th generation Ford F-150 pickup racing on the eighth mile against a Subaru WRX STI.

Today’s Throwback video takes us back to the 1970s, where we check out an ad for the 1976 Ford F-100 pickup.
