2015 Ford F-150: Punching Above its Weight4.5/5

The full-size pickup category isn’t for everyone, but the fact of the matter is that three of the six best-selling vehicles in Canada are pickups. And leading the way is the Ford F Series, with more than 120,000 units sold last year alone, which explains why there’s such a fierce …October 6, 2014

2015 Ford F-150: We're Driving It This Week

This week, Car Guide is heading to Texas, land of the pickup truck, to finally put the 2015 Ford F-150 through its paces. Do not underestimate this model since the F-Series has been the best-selling vehicle in Canada for a number of years. It is now up to us to …September 30, 2014

Pickups Will Finally Adopt SAE Towing Standards

Towing standards: there really aren't any in the pickup industry. I know that might seem like a strange thing to say when manufacturers are constantly boasting that vehicle X can pull up to 24,000 lbs, but it's true - there's no standardized test that has been agreed upon by each …June 11, 2014

2013 Ford F-150 XLT SuperCab: The Everyperson's Pickup4.0/5

The 2013 Ford F-150 is a fan favourite in Canada, and it's easy enough to see why. Selling more units than any other truck in the country - and occasionally, the best-selling vehicle overall - the Ford F-150's greatest strength is its diversity. You can order the truck in a …August 28, 2013

2012 Ford F-150 FX4: Hard Core Hauler4.5/5

If there is one thing that will surprise you about the F-150 FX4, it's this: it comes with a 136 litre fuel tank. Ironically, it's also the least important thing to learn about the F-150 FX4. Because if there is an EcoBoost engine underhood, and a long rear gear in …June 9, 2012

Ford F-150 SVT Raptor: Child’s play4.0/5

We’re all familiar with drivers who shell out for sports cars or exotic vehicles without ever pushing their limits beyond 50% capacity. The appeal is strictly style and exclusivity. Well, that’s also the case with the Ford F-150 SVT Raptor. Few will actually make use of its full capabilities, but …May 31, 2012

Thoughts on Life, in a 2012 F-150 Harley Davidson4.5/5

As someone that's had a truck for most of their driving life, I've gotten pretty accustomed to the requests that often accompany the keys to a pickup truck; requests like "Hey, I've a big desk at work that I'd like to bring home," or the always dreaded "my ex says …March 17, 2012

2012 Ford F-150: A Second Round5.0/5

It’s not often that you get a chance to drive a press car twice. Well, that’s not actually true… in most cases, it’s as easy as asking. But, I’ve always been a firm believer that variety is the spice of life, so I typically pursue as many different cars as …January 7, 2012

2011 Ford F-150 Ecoboost: Tour De Forced Induction4.5/5

Ford F-150 Lariat Ecoboost Road Test I make no attempts to hide my attitude towards the Ford F-series pickup truck… to be true; it is indeed fanaticism bordering on idolatry. I own them, I drive them, and I can’t think of a better truck for nearly any situation. That being …June 25, 2011

2010 Ford F-150 FX4: Still Built Ford Tough4.0/5

On this, one of the most filling of weekends, we’re often asked what we’re thankful for. And although the answers heard around the dining room table are often insightful dedications to family and friends, there’s some merit to the oft-simplistic thanks offered up from the obligatory kid’s table. Sure, a …October 10, 2010

2011 Ford F-Series Super Duty: Built tough4.5/5

Long before the automobile crisis began, several manufacturers had already made cuts in new vehicle development. Chrysler haven’t been launching many new vehicles. Ford, on the other hand, has taken the opportunity to introduce several new models. The new Taurus immediately comes to mind, as do the Flex EcoBoost, Transit …March 23, 2010

2009 Ford F-150: Rekindling the Love Affair4.0/5

Not surprisingly, at the age of 16, I had a very limited selection of automobiles available at my disposal. While my father stoically handed the keys of the family Cadillac over for my road test, the rest of my early driving days were spent behind the oversized wheel of a …April 27, 2009
