As a concrete contractor, Vincent Uriah tows heavy loads to and from jobsites on a regular basis so it was time for his truck to go up on the hoist for some transmission upgrades.

We all know that diesel trucks are designed to be strong and capable of pulling heavy loads. That doesn't mean that they can't look good doing so or even be customized for show. We've all heard or have seen in print all the smack talk on the Internet about how trucks that are modified to sit on the ground are useless.

The test included 0-60 miles per hour acceleration, 60-0 mph deceleration, fuel economy, a hill climb, and payload and towing...

The 2011 lineup of Ford's Super Duty F-Series trucks may not look all that different from the models on the road today, but a lot has changed under the hood. In fact, in a vehicle segment dominated by talk of horsepower, torque, and towing capacity, the new F-Series Super Duty trucks may just change the game, and make such terms as "inclinometer," "Single-Sequential Turbocharger" (SST), and "compacted graphite iron" (CGI) the new language of heavy duty pickups.

The 2014 RAM 2500 is a powerful heavy-duty pickup truck. This truck is capable of towing and hauling heavy loads and provides passengers with a relatively comfortable and quiet ride in its upscale cabin.

Once you've experienced load-leveling springs, you won't want to drive without them. Most truck owners who have load-leveling springs report that even without a heavy load they can detect a big difference in overall ride quality.

It's a philosophy we've been preaching for years-buy a good used diesel truck and build it your way with the right combination of aftermarket parts to get the job done. Whether you sled pull, tow, drag race or are just looking for a fun and reliable daily driver, you can save thousands by buying a good, used pre-emissions diesel and outfitting it to make more horsepower and torque, and possibly pick up a few mpgs in the process.

This is far from your typical truck build; some may even question how much of a truck this really is. The fact is the vehicle represents Nigel Petrie's passion for two things, drifting and trucks.
