Watch A V6 Ford F-150 Tow A Big Rig Through The Chicago Blizzard-February 2024

Here's a great example of trucks helping trucks, and an even better opportunity for Ford fanboys to fap themselves silly. The snowdump might be finished, but the streets of Chicago look pretty hopeless in the aftermath and this F-150 pulls off a righteous recovery effort.

This Volvo semi-truck and trailer stands between 20 and 40 tons depending on what's in that trailer; way beyond this Ford F-150's which would be an absolute maximum of 11,300 pounds.

The maximum-claimed towing capacity of most pickup trucks is bullshit. Those numbers are created by

That little silver badge on the door tells us it's running the , making 365 horsepower and 420 lb-ft of torque if it's stock.

"View's a little different from up here," said an SCCA instructor kung-fu gripping the passenger…

The Jeep Commander's top tow rating is 7,200 pounds. A semi-truck, trailer, and cargo can weigh up…

I Love Everything About This VW Bug Built for Overland Adventures
“This thing probably weighs about 3,000 pounds” says overland VW Bug builder Jamie Wiseman. That’s over 1,000 pounds porkier than a standard 1967 Beetle, and it looks like every ounce has gone to making this one extra excellent. Wiseman tells Blue Ridge Overland Gear that he owns TVR Automotive in...

Kurdistani News Report Turns Into Unplanned Toyota Ad, Embarrassment for Range Rover
In case you’ve made a bet that Jalopnik has no readers in Kurdistan, get ready to lose, pal, because today a reader from Kurdistan named San emailed me. I believe he actually exists. I think this because he sent me a link to this tweeted video clip from the news...

Why Some Trucks Have Five Little Lights On The Roof
If you’re like me, you’ve been staring agape at the ’s ominously vengeful face since last week. And you might’ve also noticed that the truck has five little lights on its roof. These lights serve a specific purpose: they’re a government-mandated mark of shame for vehicles that are so huge....
