We begin the hour with the ultimate fun-haver and World Champion Drifter, Vaughn Gittin Jr. Recently, Vaughn got the opportunity to test drive the new Ford Raptor and he raves about its ability. This tech-advanced Ford Raptor is incredibly nimble and the 3.5L twin-turbocharged EcoBoost makes this a mind-blowing machine. Hear more stories about Vaughn's hill climbing at Johnston Valley in the Raptor and all about his company, RTR Mustangs. Next, BJ Killeen reviews the National Hardware Show and shares some of her favorite innovations - Windbag - which can expand to lift up to 300 pounds, Write in the Rain - a waterproof paper, and a new app called Haultail. Changing lanes, we are joined by the one and only Dennis Collins who gives us a rundown on what they are up to at Black Mountain Jeep. After some convincing, the crew was able to talk the Mopar production team into sending them 15 Hellcat engines in a crate, and the Black Mountain Jeep Hellcrates are going for only $15,660. Dennis tells us that they are up-fitting a new Jeep Wrangler and Trackhawk with one of these engines, talk about horsepower! After that, Executive Editior of Autotrader, Brian Moody, gives us a list of the best 10 cars under $10,000 and discusses one of Autotrader's most popular articles which pits the Honda Odyssey against the Chrysler Pacifica. Lastly, Haultail's Public Relations Manager, Cari Kost, discusses their ride share app for pick-up drivers and customers that need to have things picked up or hauled away. Let us open your eyes to the ever-evolving automotive industry now.
