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...

I recently borrowed a 2026 Jeep Grand Wagoneer Limited Altitude 4X4 for a family trip that began in Manhattan and ended at a...

That I don't know. The only thing I know is the crew cab, short bed is THE most popular configuration. Automakers sell the high majority of truck sales with this configuration. Could just be a supply/demand issue.

The 2027 Toyota Tundra changes include updated styling, a new Trailhunter package, a standard 14-inch multimedia screen, a built-in drive recorder, Toyota Safety Sense 4.0 and, perhaps most importantly, an available 2.4-kW inverter for i-FORCE MAX trucks. Yes, Toyota appears to have been...

That's a pretty cool thing for the dealer to do! Now, how many times did you watch that video? Be honest. LOL.
