2023 FORD F-150 RAPTOR R: Trucks of Fury
Highs: 700 horsepower, monster-truck presence, surprisingly graceful on-road manners. Lows: Not 703 horsepower, can't lock the rear diff in two-wheel drive, it costs how much?

Track Tractor
An SUV for the track sounds as ridiculous as a supercar optimized for off-roading. And yet, Lamborghini says that around a typical racetrack, its new Urus Performante is quicker than the original 2015 Huracán.

E-tron and On
Highs: Conventionally handsome exterior, upscale and userfriendly interior, largely free of EV weirdness. Lows: Mechanically identical to its Volkswagen sibling, ho-hum highway range, not as speedy as some rivals.

This fourdoor Ford foreshadowed late-model Broncos
Ddecades ahead of the '20 four-door Bronco, and even preceding the Ford Explorer and Excursion, came an SUV that could have passed for OEM and was built to answer the call for a three-row people-haulin' off-roader.

JEEP OR BLAZER BUILDING
I was hoping to pick your brain as to a couple of different builds. I have a '19 Jeep Wrangler JL and a '74 Chevy Blazer. I'm a little baffled as to what to focus on. The '74 full convertible Blazer is my dream vehicle. She's been a long build and now I am thinking of focusing my energy on my wife's '19 Jeep JL. I recently joined a Jeep club and have been going off-road with a few guys. I'm shopping around for lift kits. Would you suggest that my time be spent and focused on the Blazer or enjoy the Jeep? I really can't do both.

THE BIG TOP
In the January issue, we featured Gray Baskerville's '32 Roadster. In that article, we heaped praise on Gray for his witty and engaging writing style, so this month, we present two examples written from his early tenure at HRM. Both these features appeared in the February 1979 issue, and both are replete with Gray's signature humor and clever turns-of-phrase. Though there's no writer credited for the single pager on the fiberglass '32, it's pretty obviously Gray.
