The aftermarket is eager to build on the uber-promising platform that is the 2022 Ford F-150 Lightning. However, since Ford has just released the all-electric pickup, all custom truck enthusiasts can do for now is enjoy a rendering, and we ve brought you just that. 4 photos
The F-150 has been the best-selling truck for 44 years and running, and its popularity means that the battery-powered newcomer brings a shift for the car industry altogether.
Sure, that brings good news in terms of EV adoption, but since we re talking about one of the segments where traditional customers are a dominant force, Ford offers the all-plug model alongside internal combustion versions.

While certain rugged terrain enthusiasts might have a problem choosing between the 2021 Ford Bronco and the Jeep Wrangler, others have a simple solution: hang on to one s Toyota FJ Cruiser. Oh, and throw in some custom bits while you re at it. Case in point with the 2007 example we have here, which is nicknamed Meatplow. 6 photos
The FJ Cruiser was previewed by a 2003 concept and entered production several years later, with the mix between the sturdy body-on-frame construction and the retro styling proving to be a winning recipe. However, Toyota U.S. axed the model in 2014, with the off-roader also pulled off the Japanese market three years later you can still grab one in other parts of the world, the Middle East, Chile, the Philippines, and South Africa.

Trucks started being more than just farming assets many decades ago, and now that electrified models have landed, the refinement and dynamic abilities have reached new heights. How can you measure progress, though? That question has many answers, but we ll settle for a drag race as far as this story is concerned.
The velocity battle brings together the ex-generation Lightning (you can check out this story for the freshly released all-electric 2022 Lightning) and the hybrid monster that is the 2021 F-150 Powerboost.
The second-gen F-150 Lightning we have here is a 2000 model, so while it sports the Silver shade introduced that year, it doesn t come with the tech upgrades the Blue Oval released in 2001. As such, the standard numbers involve a 5.4-liter supercharged V8 churning out 360 hp and 440 lb-ft (597 Nm) of torque, which is mated to a four-speed automa

Cars like the Honda S2000, with its pure driving experience, are in short supply these days and, with the electric revolution now upon us, it only looks like their numbers will decrease.

And, as far as the aftermarket is concerned, this can only mean one thing: progress. 6 photos
With more and more owners aiming to make their S2Ks stand out, we come across radical customization solutions, with the one portrayed in this rendering possibly being the most eccentric we ve seen to date.

While we ve barely scratched the surface of the mid-engined Corvette with the C8 Stingray (the upcoming Z06 should bring a deeper dive), many enthusiasts continue to wonder what would ve happened if the iconic nameplate had continued to use the front-engined route. And it seems that a Ford designer has invested some of his spare hours into delivering an answer, which comes in the form of the rendering sitting before us. 8 photos
Sean Peterson is an exterior car designer for the Blue Oval. And, for this individual proposal, he decided to take the C7 Vette one step further rather than speculating on how a C8 with the engine up front could ve looked like, hence the nickname we chose for the title.
