The Ford F-150 has been America’s top-selling pickup truck for 38 years running. And the first 18 of those years stretched between Ford F-Series trucks spanning Ford’s sixth, seventh, eighth, and ninth-generation pickups, which is the focus of our latest Ride Guide. We already gave you the map for learning how to identify the first
Time is an amazing thing. In the year 2016, most of the crew at OnAllCylinders can look back on the 1990s in much the same way our parents always celebrated the ’70s. And thank God they did, or we wouldn’t be here, amirite? These guys know what we’re talking about. The ’90s diversified the great driving
What if your life had a soundtrack? What songs would be on it? More importantly, what car or truck would grace the cover? Maybe you’ve lived the fast and hard life and would opt for a big block Chevelle, HEMI Charger, or some other type of octane-swilling machine.

Four-wheel drive technology first appeared at the beginning of the 20th century. In 1913, 4×4 trucks designed for military use showed up on battlefields. They were slow, bulky, and easy targets.

Maybe you think we totally blew it by nominating Tom Petty’s “Runnin’ Down a Dream” over “Free Fallin’”. Maybe you’re obsessed with National Lampoon’s Vacation movies. Or maybe you just like rocking out and pressing the pedal a little harder to Van Halen’s exquisite “Panama.” There’s no way to be wrong here. Only chided for
The music video era began well after the so-called golden age of hot rodding ended. Once MTV launched in 1981, car-loving bands and musicians began flooding our TV screens with some pretty cool rides via music videos.

OK — so we’ve taken a little liberty here. Some of these bands may not have necessarily named themselves after a car. They may simply share a name, but we still appreciate the connection. We also love the fact that they seem to mirror the speed and aggressiveness of their namesakes. Pantera? Fast and aggressive. Chevelle? Loud
