FROM THE PUBLISHER
WHICH SIDE ARE YOU ON?
This issue of Driving Line is a first for us—it’s a special dual cover featuring high-profile guests who are part of
the Nitto family: drift master Vaughn Gittin Jr. and country music sensations Florida Georgia Line. Open up with
Vaughn and you’ll get high-adrenaline automotive content; flip to the FGL side and drive yourself nuts with the
band’s F-150 build, other high-profile celebrity builds and our adventures in off-roading.

GUEST STARRING: FORD PERFORMANCE
We have a few special guests with us this issue from the Ford Performance crew. You already know about Vaughn
Gittin Jr., but you’ll also be treated to a full review of one of Ford’s hottest vehicle releases, the Focus RS, and relive a
Le Mans victory that’s been 50 years in the making. The Ford content doesn’t stop there; we also have a very special
treat for you with artwork from Galpin Auto Sports designer Doug Breuninger.
RIDGE GRAPPLER TESTED, ENTHUSIAST APPROVED
Nitto's all-new Ridge Grappler tire is anything but conventional. Taking cues from both the mud- and all-
terrain Grappler family, the Ridge Grappler is changing the standard of what enthusiasts should expect from a true
do-all tire. Since the hybrid rubber defies convention, a standard tire review wouldn't cut it. To match up this new
tread set with an off-road destination of legendary proportions, we put them to the test over the Rubicon Trail. An
average tire and review, this is not.
