A couple of days earlier, Ford jumped into the EV truck waters with the Ford F-150 Lightning. With the meat of the Lightning range catering to the lifestyle customers, Ford is now wooing the commercial market with their F-150 Lightning Pro, an entry-level model to the EV truck range.
The original Ford F-150 SVT Lightning was a “sports truck” last since almost 2 decades ago, bowing out as a legend that was never replaced as the Raptor took over the mantle of top dog. So it was a smart marketing move by Ford to rebirth the F-150 Lightning as a speedy all-electric truck that is going to shake up the segment.
When the 2021 Ford F-150 came out last year, people were wondering when the next Raptor will make an appearance. Now almost a year later, they have revealed the new generation 2021 Ford F-150 Raptor with the promise of a V8 on the horizon.
Ford F-150 is easily one of the biggest success stories in the automotive world. The full-size pickup truck sells like hotcakes in the United States. So when the time has come to refresh the F-150 for 2021, Ford has not completely overhauled the proven design. Instead, they have chosen to skip radical exterior changes for major upgrades under the skin, including the addition of features to make the workhorse an even better one.
Not a lot has happened in the past month at the arena of automotive recalls apart from a “gigantic mistake” from Volkswagen and another recall from Ford that involves 874,000 trucks.

Here is a list of vehicles and related products that were recalled in the past month.
Ford revealed three new models in the Middle East ahead of the 2017 Dubai International Motorshow, with the new-generation 2018 Ford Expedition, as well as the facelifted 2018 Ford Mustang and 2018 F-150.
Ford is off-the-wall crazy at the moment, and credit goes to their just-replaced CEO for allowing it. We’re talking about their enthusiast line-up. For a mainstream carmaker, they’ve come with exciting cars as exotic as the Ford GT all the way to as humble as the Ford Fiesta ST (neither of which are on sale in the GCC at the moment). In between, there are the Taurus SHO, Fusion Sport, Explorer Sport, Ranger Wildtrak, all the Mustang variants, Focus ST and the Focus RS. And while there is some hype surrounding the upcoming Bronco, Ford already has a much madder offroader in its arsenal —
The current Ford F-150 still retains its crown as the most advanced truck around, but the carmaker felt it needed an update for 2018. Along with the rather fetching facelift, there are a few mechanical upgrades as well.
