Ford's Super Duty models are the heavy-hauling monsters in Ford's full-size pickup truck line. Much like the bright orange equipment you find tearing down houses, these trucks are built, at least ostensibly, for work. Not just work, but serious work at that. The F-250 is the three-quarter-ton version, while the F-350 is the full-ton version, but as you'll quickly find, there isn't a whole lot of practical limitation to what you could do with this truck, assuming you were so inclined, which is re

When I see the word “Nerf,” the first thing that comes to my mind is a plush oval spiraling through the sky. However, I had to adjust my internal definition after I started accessorizing my F-150. Turns out that some companies out there have taken that universal term for spongy foam and applied it to cold, hard steel step bars. And as I found out one agonizing afternoon in the park, the similarities between a flying cushion and a metal tube are few and far between.

After the Parisians spit in the eye of Uncle Sam, I hopped right onto the O’Reily bandwagon and stopped spending my hard-earned, over-taxed dollars on French goods. Though most of my chums down at the Elk’s Lodge decided to extend the ban to everything that sounds remotely French, I had to draw the line at tonneau covers. I mean, just because I think Chirac is a grade-A weenie doesn’t mean that I want to put up with poorer gas mileage. So I took a stand and got a tonneau. Here’s my story.

These days, you have to blaze your own trails in order to avoid slogging through traffic. But you can’t just start motoring your pickup through a stranger’s backyard naked. You need to have a plan of attack and a few accessories along for the ride because things can get mighty hairy. Here are my thoughts for all you intrepid traffic-phobes out there.

My ’99 GMC Sierra is in serious need of some new exhaust. The old system looks like Swiss cheese and the cab fills with smoke at red lights. It really makes for one-hell-of-a headache. Plus, the rumble is loud enough to crack plaster, which makes me the scourge of my neighborhood. I figure it’s time to outfit that old rig with some new exhaust tubes.

When it comes to pickup truck manufacture, GM knows that a minor error could let the waves go by. This is the reason why the remade Silverado is made more momentous to deserve extra attention.

One of the biggest things on peoples minds these days are the prices at the pump. In reality that should not be the case, as that is something that is out of our control.

The two ways to save money buying gas is to pay less and use less. One of the best ways to use less gas, pay the best price and maximize savings is to plan ahead. Organizing when and where you fill up will go a long way to reduce the amount of gas you use.

If you’re practicing to become a bona fide amateur stunt hoon, you’d better bring the right equipment along. Before our maiden hooning trip, my crew and I thought that all our bases were covered with some batting helmets, plenty of duct tape, and an ice chest of tall boys. We learned the hard way that having a Warn Winch or a Ramsey Winch is also essential. Here’s what happened.

Ever since I saw the Godfather, I’ve been obsessed with mobster culture. Their likes. Their dislikes. Their mannerisms and dress. Now, as I’m accessorizing my ’06 Escalade, I can’t help but wonder: what would Sonny buy? The Husky Liners or the Weathertech Floor Liners? It took some serious consideration, but I think I made the right choice.

There was a time in my life when the sound of birds singing and of children playing on freshly mowed lawns brought a smile to my face. Now, after Wal Mart came and ruined my life, I feel nothing but hatred for the world, except, that is, for my Pace Edwards Jack Rabbit Retractable Tonneau Cover.
