How? Why? Where do the wheels even go? I understand air bag suspension lets you park a car on its frame but, just, wow. The trucks at this Japanese low rider show have shown me a whole new extreme of modification.
The last generation F-150 Tremor was no SVT Lighting replacement, but it did have a really nice red-trimmed soft-touch interior which is coming back as an option on the 2016 Ford F-150 XLT and Lariat.
The 1956 Ford F-100 is one devastatingly pretty pickup. Hot rod builder Bodie Stroud agrees, and has decided to start selling his own iteration of this classic as the X-100 with "modern suspension, a brand new Ford Racing motor and transmission, and the interior and gauges from a late-model F-150."
If you're a fan of trucks with big wheels and no ground clearance, avert your eyes because this parade of pickups got turned into a conga-line of destruction that just keeps going and going and... seriously, it's unbelievably long.
There's an elegance to the simplicity of a street truck. There's really nothing to 'em besides seats, wheels, in the case of this 1983 Chevy C/K... a big honking 650 horsepower turbocharged engine.
Longtime Corvette tuner Reeves Callaway has partnered with Rocky Ridge; a company that generally jacks-up 4x4s, to make this high-riding supercharged monster of a 2015 Chevy Silverado you'll be able to buy at a GM dealer.
It's a dragon! It's a dinosaur with Bart Simpson's haircut! It's a... 2005 Chevrolet SSR, from the island of Dr. Moreau or some s##t. YIKES.
You bet your ass I'm fired up about Dodge's 6.2-liter HEMI Hellcat-powered Challenger SRT. 707 horsepower and 650 lb.-ft. of torque is nothing short of absurd in a car. Now it's time for Chrysler to prove they've completely lost their shit and stuff that engine into a pickup truck.
"View's a little different from up here," said an SCCA instructor kung-fu gripping the passenger handle of the black-striped red 2014 Ford F-150 FX2 Tremor. I was criss-crossing the race line on his track like Barney Gumble at a sobriety test and of course, he was right. Truck yeah we went auto-crossing in an F-150.
The 2014 Ford F-150 Tremor isn't exactly an SVT Lightning replacement, but it is a sporty rear-wheel-drive hauler with a 3.5 EcoBoost engine, great graphics package and basement-couch-comfy sport seats (that's a good thing). We're wringing it out this week, ask me anything!
Screw the SCCA and their rules forbidding trucks from auto-cross events, this slammed Scout is seriously tearing it up! You're supposed to annihilate all the cones and cover the course in a smokescreen of tire residue, right?
There was something strangely alluring about the 90's TV show dream-sequence look of this RC adventure, featuring a hard-slidin' small-scale Ford SVT Lightning.
If you haven't seen the quarter-mile world record holding drag truck's 8.07 second run, it's worth watching just to hear a 1,700 horsepower Chevy Silverado idle.

Tuner Ice Nine built this Ford F-150 Tremor for a Barrett Jackson auction, and after seeing it on Oppo I realized it was a good chance for Truck Yeah! to touch on a topic we've so far neglected— street trucks.
