This 4-Link Gives the Modern F-150 a Serious Rear Suspension Upgrade (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The company’s new rear 4-link replaces the factory leaf-spring arrangement with adjustable geometry aimed at street performance, drag racing, and lowered trucks. The regular-cab, four-wheel-drive, 5.0-liter Coyote-powered Ford F-150 has become one of our favorite modern hot rods. Yes, that’s right, a truck, not a car. The 2015-to-present half-ton has the proportions of an OG pickup, the power of S550 and S650 Mustangs, and enough aftermarket support to take modifying one in many different direct
HOT ROD True Street Finds a New Home at Summernats USA (opens the original)
Read excerpt
More than three decades after debuting in Muscle Mustangs & Fast Fords, HOT ROD's original street-car competition became one of the headline attractions at Summernats USA's first Indianapolis appearance. If there was one competition that felt right at home during AMSOIL Summernats USA's first visit to Lucas Oil Indianapolis Raceway Park, it was HOT ROD True Street. But that shouldn't surprise anyone familiar with the history of either program. Australia's Summernats has spent nearly 40 years enc
Australia's Summernats Brings a Different Kind of Horsepower Party to Indianapolis (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Burnouts, Holdens, cruising, and drag racing gave Lucas Oil Indianapolis Raceway Park a distinctly Australian accent. Walk into AMSOIL Summernats USA with an “it’s just another car show” frame of mind, and you'll quickly discover you've underestimated how Australia has been doing its premiere gearhead gathering since 1988. For the most part, the cars are familiar, but the energy is night-and-day different. Yes, for almost 40 years, Summernats has been the Land Down Under's defining automotive fe
Five Performance Cars We’d Buy Right Now Before Everybody Else Catches On (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Every enthusiast has a story about the one that got away. Ours is a Buick Regal Grand National. That’s exactly why we’re paying attention to these five cars today. Every car enthusiast has a story about the one that got away. For HOT ROD’s KJ Jones, it’s a 1986 Buick Regal Grand National. Believe it or not, “the Mustang guy” came within a signature of becoming a Buick guy first. In February 1986, I ordered a new Grand National, only to cancel the purchase after learning the dealership wanted ano
Has the Coyote Become Ford's Small-Block Chevy? This Cool Truck Started the Conversation (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Jeff Harris' Coyote-powered 1980 Chevy Silverado forced us to look beyond the swap itself and think about what Ford's modern 5.0-liter V-8 Engine has become. One of the best things about spending a weekend at a major car event is discovering something you weren't looking for. HOT ROD Power Fest 2026 certainly delivered plenty of obvious attractions, but one of the weekend's most interesting finds came from a truck that, at first glance, simply looked right. That rig is Jeff Harris' 1980 Chevrole
