Are You a Big F-150 Fan? Test Your Blue Oval Knowledge with our Trivia Test

White 2015 Ford F-150 FX4 Crew Cab

The Ford F-150 is the best selling truck in America, but how much do you know about it? Take out quiz and find out!

The Ford F-Series is one of the best-selling nameplates of all time. And it’s little wonder given two important factors. First, Ford launched the F-Series not long after the conclusion of World War II and second is the enormous fan base that exists for the F-Series. If you’re one of those fans of the Ford F-Series, we’ve put together a little trivia test for you. It’s just 10 questions but it’ll test just how deep your knowledge of the F-series goes.

Q. What was the first model year of a Ford F-series?

A. 1953 was the first year that carried the F-Series name, although it predecessor, which was manufactured from 1948 – 1952 was called the Ford Bonus-Built. The Ford Bonus-Built is now recognized as the first in the F-Series line, despite its name, as it began the trend of a dedicated light truck versus the car-based trucks that had been sold previously.


Q. What does the F in F-Series stand for?

A. Despite the performance of the Lightening and the Raptor, no it doesn’t stand for Fast. It actually stands for Farm. Whoever chose that name would be surprised how many F-150s are parked in front of suburban houses with no more farming going on than a tomato plant on the back deck.


K&N E-1570 replacement round air filter

K&N manufactures air filters for the very first F-150 with a 360ci V8.

Q. When did Ford start to offer factory-installed four-wheel-drive?

A. While a four-wheel-drive option installed by an outside company had been available, Ford moved production of its 4x4 drivetrains in-house for the 1959 model year. Ford was also the first of the “Big 3” automakers to offer factory-built four-wheel-drive light trucks.


Q. What was unique about the 1961-1963 Ford F-100?

A. It featured what was called a “unibody” design. It was still body-on-frame except that the cab and the bed were one piece. Customers didn’t care for it and for the 1964 model year, Ford returned to a separate cab/bed design. 1964 is also the first year for which K&N manufactures air filters (E-1040) and oil filters (HP-3001) for the F-Series.


Q. Were Ford F-Series trucks ever sold through Mercury dealers?

A. From 1946 to 1968 Ford of Canada needed two models of trucks based on their distribution system and the geography of Canada. A vast country with thousands of small town at times many miles apart, Ford would place a Ford dealer or a Mercury dealer in each little town, but not both. Since the Mercury dealer was up against Chevrolet or GMC, they needed their own Mercury-branded truck to sell the farmers, ranchers, miners, and loggers in their area. Named the M-Series, these trucks were produced from 1948 until 1968.


K&N 33-2816 replacement panel air filter

The ultimate dream car for many, K&N produces air filters for the legendary Ferrari F40

Q. While F-150 has become synonymous with Ford light trucks, when was the first F-150 introduced?

A. In 1975, as a 1976 model. It was slotted in between the F100 and F250 and offered a heavier payload capacity than the F-100 in an effort to have the F-150 classified in a less-stringent emissions control category. If you’re lucky enough to own one of the first F-150 pickups, you’ll be happy to know that K&N makes the E-1570 air filter for the 360ci engine and the HP-3001 oil filter for both the 360ci and 390ci motors.


Q. Did you know Ferrari built an F-150?

A. No, this wasn’t payback for Ford beating Ferrari at the 24 Hours of Le Mans. It was Ferrari’s Formula 1 model for the 2011 season. The 150 name was selected to honor 150 years of Italian reunification. When Ford threatened legal action, Ferrari changed the name to Ferrari 150° Italia, where the 150° translates to sesquicentennial. Ford subsequently withdrew their legal challenge. As a demonstration of how wide the product offering are at K&N, the company manufactures air filters that fit Ferraris as a far back as the 1972 Ferrari Dino (E-9240) and even for the mind-blowing Ferrari F40 (33-2816).


K&N 57-2556 cold air intake for 2004-2008 5.4L F-150 trucks

Not only does the FIPK kit fit Lincoln Mark LTs but also 2004-2008 F-150s with the 5.4-liter V8.

Q. So we know that Mercury sold Ford trucks. Were they the only ones?

A. In an effort to keep pace with Cadillac, Lincoln launched the luxury Blackwood pickup in 2002 based on an F-150 Crew Cab. A combination of price and lack of utility kept customers away and it lasted just one year on US showroom floors. In 2006, Lincoln took another swing at the luxury truck market and did only marginally better. The Ford F-150-based Lincoln Mark LT lasted for three model years. K&N carries oil filters for both, part number HP-2010. The Blackwood takes a K&N E-0945 air filter while the Mark LT uses a 33-2287 air filter. The Mark LT can also be fitted with a K&N 57-2556 FIPK air intake system that’s been dyno-proven to add an estimated 15.5 rear wheel horsepower to your Mark LT, as well as being 50 states emissions compliant.


Q. After the two different Lightening pickups (’93-’95 and ’99-’04) Ford took another swing at the street performance truck market. What was that model called?

A. The 2014 Ford F-150 Tremor. It used the standard 3.5-liter turbo V6 but backed by a strip-ready 4.10 rear axle ratio. Inside was a console-mounted shifter, unique bucket seats and a flow-through center console not found in any other F-150. The Tremor was available in both 4x2 and 4x4. Both options featured an electronic locking rear differential and upgraded suspension. Unfortunately only a measly 2230 Tremors were sold, making it another one year only model. K&N manufactures both air filters and oil filters for the 3.5 V6, part numbers 33-2385 and HP-2011, respectively.


K&N 63-2592 cold air intake for the Ford Ecoboost

The K&N Aircharger kit for 3.5L V6 twin-turbo F-150s adds an estimated 11 rear-wheel horsepower

Q. What’s the most powerful six-cylinder engine Ford has installed in an F-Series pickup?

A. The 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 (I’ll bet you were you digging through Wikipedia to see if there was a more powerful inline 6 from 40 years ago, weren’t you?). Not a chance. In fact, the EcoBoost V6 produces 365 horsepower, compared to 360 horsepower from a 2000 Ford Lightening with a supercharged 5.4 L V8. And if you’re looking for some extra power and response from your 3.5 V6 turbo, check out the K&N 63-2592 Aircharger intake kit. It’ll add an estimated 11 horsepower at the rear wheels of your EcoBoost F-150.

K&N Tackles the Dust and Dirt of Baja on the Trail of Missions Tour

Brian Binkert's 2015 Ford F-150 FX4 Sport

Brian Binkert’s heavily-modified F-150 near the start of the Trail of Missions

Brian “Bink” Binkert has traveled around the Baja peninsula hundreds of times, shooting photographs and otherwise representing the clients of his company, Bink Designs -- but always during an off-road race. What he wanted was to tour Baja at a more leisurely pace and travel to places that aren’t on the race courses. The perfect opportunity was The Monster Energy Trail of Missions, a tour organized each year by the enterprising Cameron Steele of Desert Assassins. Brian decided to enter his Ford truck along with friend and Fox Shox Marketing Manager Bryan Harrold co-driving.

Besides being a top-notch trophy truck driver and X-Games TV Commentator, Steele had been organizing motorcycle trips down the peninsula for years. He’d been considering a tour for trucks, SUVs, and Jeeps that wasn’t about setting a fast pace, but rather slowing it down. He said he had an idea for a moderately-paced, family friendly tour in Baja “rolling around in my head” for some time. He then recalled that there are 27 Spanish Missions in Baja (more than in California) in various states of repair, but all fascinating, and decided that touring a select numbers of Missions would be the theme of the trip.

2015 Ford F-150 in front of Mexican mission

The Bink Designs off-roader provides a significant contrast to the centuries-old Mission

The missions were set-up by various sects of Spanish missionaries as a base to convert the native peoples to Christianity. They also served as rest stops for travelers, being spaced one day’s ride apart. While the 21 missions in the State of California are well known, and with few exceptions been restored or rebuilt, the condition of the 27 missions that dot the Baja peninsula range from pristine to rubble. And some of those still standing were built in the 1600s. One participant examined an older mission and commented that the walls must be three feet thick and wondered just how much work must have gone into its construction. At every site, every member of the tour treated the missions with a great deal of historic respect.

This year, 18 vehicles joined the tour. One of them was Brian Binkert’s 2015 Ford F-150 SuperCrew FX4 Sport, which features a whole list of off-road mods, including beefy Fox triple-bypass shocks, massive 37” General tires, and of course a K&N 63-2592 air intake kit. Brian pulled in his client Fox Shox to underwrite his adventure, as the Trail of Missions was being film for the ABC television program “World of X Games”. Unfortunately, the episode aired over Labor Day weekend. We have been told the episode will be available online shortly.

To get from Point A to Point B in Baja, sometimes you need to take a challenging road

The group began their journey on June 23rd starting at the Tecate border crossing. Beyond the vehicles that had been prep’d for heavy-duty off road use, there were also a few that were completely stock, which help provide a sense of how leisurely the pace was. And some of the vehicles carried entire families.

Mission stops included San Borja, the El Rosario Ruins, San Ignacio, Mulege, Loreto, and San Javier which is known as “The Jewel of the Mission Trail”. But the trip wasn’t strictly about visiting the missions. There were stops at one of Baja’s pristine beaches, as well other landmarks and historical sites on the peninsula, including the 100-year-old Rancho Meling, still a working ranch.

Stops were also scheduled in small towns along the route where the teams handed out stickers and other goodies to the kids who ran up to greet the tour. This has been influenced by Steele, his wife Heidi, and his friends and tour guests, as they work to raise many for several charitable causes in Baja, including an orphanage and construction of a fire station in El Rosario, where the nearest one is currently hours away.

"This is FOX's third Trail of Missions and we keep coming back because it's the adventure of a lifetime, every time,” said Bryan Harrold, “Not only do you get to experience the remarkable history and rich Mexican culture of the Baja peninsula, this trip delivers unrivaled landscapes and vistas seen mostly via off-road trails.”

A well-deserved day of rest and relaxation at one of Baja’s pristine beaches

Asked what he enjoyed the most about the event Brian’s response was immediate “it’s a more relaxed atmosphere than coming down here for a race, there’s a lot of camaraderie between participants, that families are involved, and that you get to rub shoulders with some real racers and off-road industry heavyweights.”

The tour crossed back into the United States on July 2.

So although Cameron Steele limited entries to 18 vehicles this year, demand has been high for more participants to join the event. For 2017 he’s considering added a second “Trail of Missions” tour to his jam-packed schedule. As soon as we get wind of 2017 events, we’ll be sure to post them here for your information.

And whether you’re planning on driving on the sandy roads of Baja or the crumbly interstates of the US, remember that K&N has a filter for no matter what you drive: motor scooter to dirt bike and 4X4 to sports car that will add power and protect your engine.

K&N-Sponsored Cory Texter Scores an Impressive Podium Finish at the Springfield Mile

Cory Texter on his way to a podium finish at the Springfield Mile

As Cory Texter lifted his dusty racing boot up to the podium of the Springfield Mile in early September, most casual race fans didn’t know the Herculean effort it took to get there. The Springfield Mile is one of the most storied races in motorcycling. Texter calls it, “sort of like the Daytona 500 of Flat Track.” At the Illinois State Fairgrounds oval, Texter battled both the elite competition and front tire wear to earn a spectacular third place finish. Texter said, “I have been coming to this race since I was a baby watching my dad compete here, so it was really special to stand on that podium in front of all those spectators. I can't thank my family, friends and sponsors enough for sticking behind me all season long. I have the greatest support system in the sport and you all make it possible to chase my dreams.”

So what about the back story? Texter revealed, “After the previous national in New York, I mutually parted ways with the Richie Morris Race Team. It just didn't work out the way I had hoped it would. I took on the task of again running my own team and racing my own motorcycles in one of the most competitive series in the world.” Being a privateer is challenging in any form of racing, but in flat track, where conditions take a massive toll on both bikes and racers, that challenge is exponentially increased.

Great fan support of Pro Flat Track in Springfield, IL

Texter was also dealing with the disappointment of being excluded from competing in the final in the prior leg of the series. “We were handed an unfortunate circumstance at the New York national where a grey area in the rulebook kept us out of the main event. I left that race emotionally torn, but extremely motivated.” Clearly, motivation is one of Texter’s dominant character traits and a big part of his success.

Texter is quick to share credit for his racing success. On keeping his small stable of race bikes running strong, Texter said, “I had a lot of help from my mechanic Justin Bender. If it wasn't for his help this year, I wouldn't have been able run my own team and be as competitive as we were.” That teamwork has reaped rewards unusual for a privateer. “Finishing on the podium twice so far this season against some heavily funded teams was rewarding, but the best reward is the self-satisfaction in knowing I can compete and beat these guys on a weekly basis,” Texter said.

Racing success is impossible without solid corporate partnerships and Texter is quick to credit his relationship with K&N. “I have been using K&N products since I started racing full-time as an amateur in 2004. There aren't many brands within the industry that have such a good reputation,” said Texter. Clearly, it is of utmost importance for a small, independent racing team to pick the highest quality parts and components. Texter said, “I may be a privateer, but I take no short cuts when putting the best parts and products in my motorcycles, and K&N is one of the most essential pieces of that puzzle.”

For now, Texter is busy preparing for the Ramspur Winery Santa Rosa Mile in Santa Rosa, CA. The September 24th race will mark the end of the 2016 season. After that, Texter will take a deep breath. “It's been a long season, so I am going to take a couple weeks off and relax a little bit. I am going to spend some time with my wife and family, ride my bicycle, and ride some motocross. I guess that doesn't really qualify as ‘taking time off,’ but I love to train so I suppose there isn't really an offseason for myself when it comes to that.”

Cory Texter flashes a winning smile and a helping hand on the podium

After that time “off,” Cory Texter will turn to vigorously preparing for the 2017 flat track season. In addition to the mental and physical preparation, there are always team and affiliation considerations. “There are some new rules being put in place for our series next season, so I have a lot to think about as I head into next year. I would like to land a ride on a competitive team and go after a championship, but if that doesn't happen, I will show up at the track next year ready to win, riding for my own team, and racing my own motorcycles.”

Cory Texter rode his Kawasaki Ninja 650 to the podium at the Springfield Mile. The K&N high-performance air filter for your Ninja 650 is the KA-6512, and for your oil filtration, use the KN-303.

Optima Descends On World Class F1 Venue, Circuit of the Americas, in Austin, Texas

The Tower at COTA

The Tower at COTA is even more impressive up close. Nicknamed the “slide” by some, this tower and this venue, embodies everything exactly what Texas is known for, everything is bigger in Texas!

Optima’s Search for the Ultimate Street Car (OSUSC), found its way to Austin, Texas, where almost 90 participants would compete to test their worth at the world class racing venue, Circuit of the Americas (COTA). COTA is the only FIA-Certified Formula 1 course in the US and everyone in racing takes that very seriously. Circuit of the Americas plays host to the Formula One United States Grand Prix and to say having an opportunity to race here is “bucket list worthy” would be an understatement. The Circuit is also host to other such events as the Road Racing World Championship (also known as Moto GP), the FIA World Endurance Championship, the American Le Mans Series, and several more.

First proposed in 2010, the Circuit, located in Elroy, on the southeast periphery of downtown Austin city limits, in Central Texas, opened to F1 in November 2012. The course is just over 5.5 km or 3.4 miles in length with 20 turns. COTA is also home to the Austin360 Amphitheater where featured artists include performers such as Kenny Chesney, Collective Soul, Sublime with Rome, and the Dixie Chicks have played.

A picture perfect day in Austin, Texas, with Karl Dunn showing us a picture perfect finish.

Set in rural Texan topography, the countryside is lush, green, and inviting. The facility is awe inspiring to all who followed the construction of these hallowed grounds from conception to completion. The best of the best have competed here, from drivers like Sebastian Vettel and race teams such as Red Bull. Icon’s in the automotive industry have raced this course, swapped motors in these garages and walked the paddock from end to end, just like our competitors did this past weekend. The view included a classic big, blue, Texas sky dotted with oversized, white clouds and a hot, bright-orange sun. Certainly what one would expect when coming to Circuit of the Americas. The Texas heat and humidity, while somewhat oppressive, didn’t put a damper on the spirits of the competitors, crew, family, or friends. The first drivers’ meeting took place Saturday morning and you could feel the excitement among the drivers. A great sense of humility and honor resonated throughout, just to be taking part in this spectacular event.

Throughout the season, five talented and lucky participants from each of the ten qualifier events receive an invite to Optima Ultimate Street Car Invitational, OUSCI, the Super Bowl of the Optima Search for the Ultimate Street Car challenge. The Top Dawgs from each class, plus an individual who positively represents and embodies the goal of the Ultimate Street Car Association, the Spectre Performance Spirit of the Event award, are recognized with the coveted invite.

Additionally, OSUSC will crown the competitor who has earned the highest total points over their three best events as the series points champion. Naturally the champion will receive an OUSCI invite along with the 14 runner up points leaders.

OUSCI limits the number of invites to no more than 75 competitors. So 10 invites remain and Optima reserves those ten spots for recipients of the golden ticket to be selected at SEMA in November.

Optima’s Search for the Ultimate Street Car, presented by Advance Auto Parts, follows the same schedule for each qualifying event. The participants compete in the following five segments with the opportunity to earn 100 points in each segment;

  • Detroit Speed & Engineering Autocross
  • Powerstop Brakes Speed Stop Challenge
  • Lingenfelter Design & Engineering
  • Lucas Oil Road Rally
  • Falken Tire Hot Lap Challenge

The Ultimate Goal? Earn 100 points in each category for a perfect score of 500 points.

GTV Class Winner Mike Maier

GTV Class Winner, Mike Maier, taking home some very cool hardware. And of course the OUSCI invite.

Saturday’s event would have the field equally divided with participants competing at Speed Stop or Autocross first. After a noon time break, a little switch and back to competition. The participants would need to allow for time during the day to get their rides judged at the Lingenfelter Design & Engineering portion. Finally, they would finish the day with the Lucas Oil Road Rally. Each segment would allow the participants to earn up to 100 points.

The Detroit Speed and Engineering Autocross was ripe with competition. Separated into four classes, GTV, GTS, GTL, AND GT, the track saw a lot of action. The autocross course was well marked and laid out to take advantage of the rise and drop of the surface. Complete with technical and off camber turns and slaloms, with a hammer-down straight away to the finish.

OUSCI Winner Danny Popp

3-time OUSCI Winner, Danny Popp, laying down a scorching time of 2.22.045, the fastest of the weekend, on the world famous Circuit of the Americas road course.

The GTS Class boasted a some very impressive vehicles like Andy Hollis driving his 2012 McLaren 12C, Curt Trawick in his 2016 Porsche GT3 RS, Austin Barnes skillfully maneuvering his 2012 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X, and of course long time competitor, Brian Hobaugh, in his 2003 C5 Corvette. Each of these guys ran super quick lap times. But in the end the McLaren would lay down the best time with the Porsche GT3 RS coming in a close second. The Evo X and C5 would follow mere 10ths of a second behind. Very tight racing indeed.

K&N Race Team Driver, Jake Rozelle has dominated the GTV Class from the beginning of the season, receiving an OUSCI Invite at Thunderhill. Coming to COTA, the seventh installment of the OSUSC Series, presented by Advance Auto Parts, another K&N sponsored driver, Mike Maier, comes looking for redemption and the ultimate prize - the coveted OUSCI invite. At COTA, Jake crept ahead of Mike in the Detroit Speed & Engineering Autocross with Mike answering back at the Powerstop Brakes Speed Stop Challenge, narrowing the points margin. Going into Sunday’s Hot Lap Challenge, sponsored by Falken Tire, Rozelle was narrowly ahead of Maier. The question on everyone’s mind was could Maier regain that spread to come away the victor, and the answer was yes. Less than 2 seconds between these competitors’ fastest lap time afforded Mike Maier the win.

Curt Trawick in 2016 Porsche GT3 RS

GTS Class competitor, Curt Trawick in his 2016 Porsche GT3 RS received the invite to OUSCI.

Danny Popp is no stranger to competition and is a 3-time winner at OUSCI. In the GTL Class a target was placed squarely on Popp’s back as the one to beat. Ken Thwaits in his 2007 Evo, Karl Dunn in 2002 Corvette Z06, and James Forbis in his 2007 Corvette would throw down some blistering times at the autocross to compete with Popp. But in the end it was Mike DuSold in his 1967 Chevrolet Camaro, who set his sights on Danny early on and came in .85 seconds behind Popp, earning DuSold valuable points. In fact, he would gain substantial ground over Popp after the Speed Stop Challenge giving him an advantage going into the Falken Tire Hot Lap Challenge on Sunday.

Jordan Priestley, who has been on fire this season, was looking forward to another win in the GT Class in his 6th Gen Camaro, “Evilynn”. Priestley struggled a bit, though, at Speed Stop opening up an opportunity for competitor, Aaron Sockwell in his 2015 Mustang, to take a significant lead in this segment. As the weekend progressed, Priestley would gain ground but not enough to claim victory, ultimately earning Sockwell the GT Class win and an OUSCI Invite with Priestley coming in second.

The Powerstop Brakes Speed Stop Challenge saw its fair share of action with lap times in the high 12s, from cars like the McLaren and into the 13s to low 14s with the remaining field of foreign and domestic muscle. Unfortunately, early on saw Kevin Tully’s "Violent Valiant” suffering irreparable front brake damage his first run, knocking him out of the competition for the weekend. In classic Tulley fashion, he made himself available for any competitor that needed an extra hand to keep them rolling in the event. It’s character like that which embodies the spirit of USCA. So it seemed only fitting that Kevin Tully and his 1964 Plymouth Valiant would be the recipient of the Spectre Performance Spirit of the Event award.

As far as the championship points race, COTA saw Mike DuSold move up to second place behind GTL Class points leader Rich Wilhoff. In GT Class, Ken Thwaits and his 5th Gen Camaro remain in first place. Priestley will try again later this month at Road America to close the gap between he and Thwaits, if not surpass and advance to lead position. Jake Rozelle and his 1969 Camaro continue to be out front in GTV class with Brian Hobaugh and his 2003 Corvette in the lead for points in the GTS class.

El Filtro de Aire del Corsa Vauxhall-Opel 2014-2016 Ofrece un Excepcional Flujo de Aire y Filtración

K&N 33-3040 filtro de aire reutilizables

K&N 33-3040 filtro de aire reutilizables

El Corsa fue lanzado bajo dos placas de identificación - Opel y Vauxhall. Fabricado por Opel, el Corsa Opel debuté en 1982 y el Corsa Vauxhall tuvo su primera aparición como el Nova Vauxhall en 1983, con el cambio de nombre a Corsa que ocurrió con la presentación del Corsa B en 1993. El Nova estaba disponible en el Reino Unido y reemplazó el Chevette Vauxhall.

El Corsa A estaba disponible en dos estilos diferentes - un berlina de tres puertas y uno de cinco puertas y un sedán de dos puertas y uno de cuatro y estuvo disponible desde 1982 hasta 1993.

20 diferentes motores le dieron poder al Corsa A a través de los años incluyendo uno de 1,0 litros, siete de 1,2 litros, tres de 1,4 litros, y cuatro de 1,6 litros L4s, uno de diésel de 1,5 l4, y uno de turbodiésel de 1,5 litros l4.

General Motors, Opel y Fiat trabajaron en conjunto para desarrollar el auto. Estaba disponible en un berlina de tres a cinco puertas. Qué auto, una revista de automovilismo publicada en el Reino Unido le otorgó el premio del Auto del Año en 2007. Entre 1993 y 2009, más de 1.371.573 Corsas Vauxhall fueron vendidos en el Reino Unido.

Los dueños del Corsa Vauxhall o el Opel desde el 2014-2016 puede confiar en el filtro de aire de reemplazo 33-3040 de K&N para proteger el motor de su auto. El filtro está diseñado para caer en la caja de aire actual, y está diseñado para incrementar la potencia y aceleración e integrará con los electrónicos de fábrica.

El filtro de aire dura hasta 50.000 millas porque cuenta con cuatro capas de medio de algodón colocado entre dos filtros de alambre de aluminio.
