My order is in for a 2027 Chevy Silverado 1500 High Country, and this one should be very different from the last Silverado I owned. I went with the all-new 6.6-liter V-8, Pacific Blue Metallic paint, Super Cruise, the panoramic sunroof and the extended-range gasoline tank. After years of buying...

I would think the same, however, the 3.0L Duramax has been a winner and everyone has abandoned that segment. Also, it took everyone a decade to get onboard with the EcoBoost type of small displacement turbocharged engine. For as fast paced as this industry seems as times, it also moves very...

Thanks! I will say it is a boatload of work. Hopefully, starting soon, you'll see some more energy spent on the forum. I have plans and I'm hoping the people I have on board will really bring some energy.

What is the most reliable midsize truck? We rank the Tacoma, Frontier, Ridgeline, Colorado, Canyon, Ranger and Gladiator using PUTT reliability reporting. (read full article...)

Hey guys, Just an update. You might have noticed there are lot of things going on behind the scenes and more to come. First, the new Buyer's Guide and Reliability Center on the main website are something I'm incredibly proud of. I hope you've had a chance to check them out. We are adding a...

I mean vs the other TRD PRO colors from prior years. The wavemaker was really hard to photograph and do video on.

GMC doesn't get the traffic that Chevrolet gets. It's not off by much, but every little bit helps when you are a small business. This is a graphic from Google based on what people are searching for with keywords.

Every week, I get emails from people asking a version of the same question: Which full-size truck should I buy? The honest answer is always that it depends. Some people tow every weekend. Some rarely use the bed. Some care about a V8 exhaust note, while others care more about fuel economy...

In September, I’m heading to Automechanika Frankfurt 2026 in Germany to investigate how software, artificial intelligence and connected technology will change the way trucks are maintained and repaired. This will be my first time attending Automechanika Frankfurt, one of the largest automotive...

Hot Honey is easier on the eyes than other colors IMO.

I have to say this surprised me when I put this together. Often, I'm so busy reporting the news or making it that I don't notice how trucks stack up. The real struggle for me is going to be from a business perspective. The 2022 Tundra was a massive success in that regard; however, it was a FULL...

Toyota has added the missing TRD Pro details to its earlier 2027 Tundra and Sequoia announcements. Yes, the headline is a new exterior color. Tundra, Sequoia, and Tacoma TRD Pro models get a shade called Honeycomb, while the 4Runner receives a slightly different version called Hot Honey...

The 2027 Toyota Tundra hybrid vs. 2027 Chevy Silverado 1500 comparison has become more than an academic exercise for me. I am thinking about buying one of these trucks. I have owned previous versions of both. I bought a third-generation 2022 Tundra with the twin-turbocharged V6, and I previously...

Congrats!

Story of my work life. LOL
