Some car guys sling horsepower numbers with the same cavalier attitude Brett Favre displays for phallus photos. Heavy-duty truck guys know better. The Duramax-engined 2011 GMC Sierra Denali 3500 HD dually's 397 HP? Unimportant. 765 lb-ft of torque? Epic. [PickupTrucks] More »

All this talk of the global, non-American 2011 Ford Ranger made us wonder if Ford even bothered to post a photo of the built-for-America 2011 Ford Ranger to their media site. Yup. Here it is. More »

The new Mazda BT-50 is the Balki Bartokomous to the 2011 Ford Ranger's Larry Appleton. They're related, but one is clearly more foreign than the other. [PickupTrucks.com] More »

Others may show you this real 2011 Ford Ranger and complain about us not getting it. Boo-freaking-hoo. This is America. You're saying we can displace myriad native populations but can't get one truck? If you want it, go get it. More »

India's growing wealth means the country's sure to give in to the same wasteful bourgeois spending habits that have made pet rocks, beer helmets, and Jackass 3D popular in the U.S. The result? The awesome diesel-powered Mahindra Bolero "Attitude" truck. More »

Proving Texas is still just one big ridiculous stereotype, Chrysler debuted the Ram Laramie Longhorn luxotruck today. It's got more leather than Max Mosley's basement and silver belt buckle seats. Belt buckle seats! I hate all of you. More »

You've seen the engine, now here's the complete Ecoboost-powered Ford F-150 for the first time. I'm sure the burnout is standard pickup truck driving and has nothing to do with convincing F-150 loyalists to trust a twin-turbo V6. [PickupTrucks.com] More »
]]> http://jalopnik.com/index.php?op=postcommentfeed&postId=5644999&view=rss&microfeed=true Want to buy a 2011 Ford Ranger? Tough. We're not getting it because it's already 90% the size of an F-150. Then why doesn't Ford just sell F-150s globally? [PickupTrucks] More »

Ford's hasn't yet released pictures of the twin-turbo, direct-injection 3.5-liter EcoBoost F-150, but in an announcement for ride-and-drives for the truck they included an image of an F-150 with an EcoBoost-ish badge. Is this the 2011 EcoBoost F-150? More »

Because apparently buyers asked for it, here's the 2011 Ford F-150 SVT Raptor SuperCrew. Four swingin' doors and 12 more inches of wheelbase for full-size adult haulage, a standard 411-hp 6.2-liter V8 and all the dune-pounding goodies of the original. More »

The 2010 F-150 SVT Raptor has some massive 4x4 truck tires. How much does a 35-inches-when-mounted-and-upright LT315/70R17 BFGoodrich All-Terrain KO tire and SVT rim actually weigh? Check the picture above to see what Edmunds found. Remember, lift with the knees. More »

The 2010 Dodge Ram 1500 doesn't have a single engineering change from 2009 that explains how they've managed to boost towing capacity by 1,350 lb. So how'd they do it? Well, we're pretty sure it's magic pixie dust. [PickupTrucks.com] More »

We've finally uncovered the name of VW's as-of-last-we-heard-unnamed-or-maybe-something-more-robustly-named pickup truck. It'll be called the Volkswagen Amarok. In some dialects, the name means "loves stones" and in Inuit Eskimo, means "wolf." What? Das Germans didn't want to call it "Wolfenstein?" [PickupTrucks] More »

GM's just revealed a whole messload of details on their newest members of the GMT-900-based full-size SUV and truck lineup — the 2009 Chevy Silverado XFE, 2009 Chevy Tahoe XFE, 2009 GMC Sierra XFE and lastly, the 2009 GMC Yukon XFE. What's XFE? It stands for Xtra Fuel Economy and the four relative fuel-sippers join the already class-leading Chevy Cobalt XFE as vehicles GMs achieved added wallet-padding using a combination of mechanical, aerodynamic and mass-reducing enhancements. The tweaks help to deliver a 5% increase in EPA-estimated highway fuel economy and more than 7% improved mileage in city driving. They achieve 15 city and 21 highway mileage ratings versus comparable non-XFE models' 14/20 ratings. The XFE designation is only available on 2WD vehicles equipped with the 5.3-liter V8 mated to a six-speed transmission. But we're told they're able to accomplish the fuel economy bump without a knock to towing ratings. The Tahoe and Yukon are unchanged, while the Silverado and Sierra increase from 6,600 pounds to 7,000 pounds due to the new, six-speed transmission and high-capacity cooling package. Still with us? Good. Hit the jump for our take. More »

The Honda Ridgeline has received a minor facelift for 2009 that includes cosmetic tweaks to give the truck-UV more of a shared look with its brother, the 2009 Honda Pilot. But the changes apparently aren't skin deep, as we're told there's also been improvements to the interior and under the Honda-stamped hood. More »

Mr. Levine over at PickupTruck.com has been busy today, further hashing out the details we saw this morning on the new reverse outsourced Mahindra Appalachian. It seems the mid-sized pickup will be assembled right in Ohio to avoid the dreaded 25% chicken tax and will be getting an interior designed and built for the US market by Lear. Two or four wheel drive will be on the table, and factory designed accessories like snow plows will be available. Very interesting news if you ask us. The real gem comes from Mahindra's prime importer, CEO of Global Vehicles U.S.A. John Perez when commenting on the pending truck: More »

Mike Levine over at PickupTruck.com just snagged himself a whale of a curry-flavored scoop of truck news. He's got all the details on the Mahindra & Mahindra diesel hybrid pickup truck we've been told we'll be seeing here in the United States in the near-term future. Levine cornered John Perez who runs Global Vehicles U.S.A. — the company doing the importing of the greatest Indian import since java coders and help line staffers (who we also hear is a fan of the Jalop). Here's what Levine's learned: More »
