REVIEW
If you haven’t been following along with Edmunds’ long-term test of the 2015 Ford F-150, you ought to. “You want a decent amount of suspension articulation if you’re going to venture off the pavement very far, especially if you see yourself getting into the kind of frame-twist situations where one tire could hike up off the ground.“
TTAC
Everyone knows that pickup trucks are capable vehicles. But do they know just how capable? Today’s pickup trucks aren’t just capable of toting your stuff and towing your toys while offering space for your family. They’re capable of grabbing the three best selling positions in America for five consecutive months. Our founder and sales analyst has the details for you on TTAC. “The pickup truck world’s consistent hold on the whole of American best seller’s podium is steadily tightening.“
RECALL
Status unchanged since yesterday’s Sprinter and FJ Cruiser recalls.
