Chevrolet’s C/K Series trucks are some of the most popular collector trucks. This 1972 K-10 Custom is from the last year of the second generation of C/K trucks, nicknamed “Action Line.” With features including an immediately recognizable egg-crate front grille, a big squared off hood and the highly desirable Fleetside short bed, this K-10 has a truckload of retro style!

The “C/K” model code refers to the drivetrain of the truck, this 1972 K-10 is fitted with a 4x4 driveline (whereas a “C-10” would be rear-wheel drive). Under the hood is the faithful Chevrolet 350 Small block V8 engine, in this application pushing out 175 horsepower. While it may be tuned for rugged reliability and not outright performance, this V8 powered 4x4 truck has all the ingredients to make a great fun Horizon exploration vehicle.

The 1972 Chevrolet K-10 Custom can be yours for 20 PTS on the Festival Playlist. This week’s events and rewards are available until Thursday, June 15 – so don’t miss out!

Did you know an F-Series truck was sold every 49 seconds in 2022? This seventh-generation “bullnose” 1986 F-150 was the model that helped secure this incredible sales feat and was a revolutionary model for Ford. It led to the Ford F-Series trucks becoming America’s best-selling truck for the past 46 consecutive years, and America’s best-selling vehicle for 41 years.

With its independent Twin I-Beam 4x4 front suspension and modern, comfortable interior styling, the F-150 bridged the gap between car and truck better than ever before. Its 5.0 (302) V8 produces a modest 185 horsepower. In stock form this F-150 will leave you plenty of time to see the sights of Mexico, but a quick Festival visit to explore the upgrades available will reveal that this truck can be hopped up into a serious overlanding rig.

The 1986 Ford F-150 XLT Lariat can be yours for 20 PTS on the Festival Playlist. This week’s events and rewards are available until Thursday, June 8 – so don’t miss out!

Dream fast and break all limits in the CUPRA Formentor VZ5. This powerful road-going car features the biggest engine ever seen in a CUPRA, a 2.5-liter TSI 5-cylinder that reaches 0-62mph in 4.2 seconds with a top speed of 155mph (250km/h), and a unique firing order to minimize acceleration vibration. Its race-inspired sculpted bodywork is accentuated by matte black details, a carbon fiber front splitter and rear diffuser, and the distinctively CUPRA use of copper on the exhaust pipes and 20-inch alloy wheels. The rear of the car features an infinite light that illuminates brightly with a VZ5 emblem that beams onto the ground. Its suspension is also reduced for more precise control, especially when approaching corners at speed to ensure stability and max drivability.
