2025 trucks that require premium fuel

Premium fuel is required or recommended in many new trucks. Do you see this as a good or bad thing?


I look at it as a bad thing. The benefit is too little if there is any benefit at all. A performance vehicle that is judged and purchased purely for said performance? Sure, makes sense.
 
This is so bad. As far as I'm concerned pickup trucks should be able to run on 80 octane. Trucks are meant to work first and foremost even when in areas where the only fuel is garbage.
The boutique trucks can run on the good stuff. They're basically sports cars in spirit anyway but the regular pickups should be focused on durability and ownership costs.
 
I understand the reasons for needing mid grade or premium… but I’d rather they all ran on regular fuel as well. My hemi is supposed to run on regular or mid grade… mid grade being recommended (to get max performance). I usually use mid grade but I’ve run regular on occasion when the price goes up…lol. I don’t crank out high mileage.
In the case if high performance trucks like the Raptor R, ZR2, TRX and RHO I can understand premium… these are halo vehicles reaching for top HP. I laugh when people want the high output HP on an off-road truck then complain about the mileage.
