    So many torches and pitchforks.

    Silverado Seat Comfort

    Lol, but with the impending cost of the 6.2 recall, I'm sure GM would prefer to get it right on the engine than the seats ;)

    GM Tonawanda plant gets $888 Million investment for next-gen V-8s

    Turbo engines provide fuel economy benefits if you're around town as the smaller displacement engine can still get you where you need to, with minimal turbo boost. Higher speed or loaded down, the V8's will get similar fuel economy or even better like you mentioned.

    Luxury Lincoln Navigator Black Label vs Yukon XL Denali

    He needs to go sit in the Yukon to see if he can live with the seats compare to a Navigator. The Navigator seats are some of the best across all car brands. If he can live with the seats, then I would take the Yukon with the diesel.

    2026 GMC Hummer EV updates: Quicker plus King Crab mode

    That 0.2 seconds quicker 0-60 sure was needed ;) Curious about how king crab mode will look IRL. I would not want carbon fiber wheels on a truck this heavy with such low profile tires. Race cars are having a hard time keeping their carbon wheels intact and they weight around a third as much...

    2026 Chevy Silverado 1500 changes: colors, exhaust, tech

    I think it's that GM is notorious for having issues with the DFM/AFM systems. Ford and Ram implementations also caused problems, but less so and they seemed to have fixed them compare to GM where it's still an active problem.

    3.0 L diesel 1500 vs 6.6 L diesel 2500 Silverado

    I'd go 3/4 ton. Don't even need a diesel for that weight. You mentioned that in a few years you are planning on taking more trips. I would wait before changing my truck to just before you actually start doing more trips. This will let you enjoy the better ride comfort and fuel economy until...

    EPA killing auto start stop?

    Brake dust will be te next major focus. All of the recent studies coming out about brake dust seem to indicate that it's really really bad for human health. I'm happy if they get rid of auto stop/start. It seems to be causing a lot battery issues and I'm not sure the little amount of fuel and...

    GM issues stop delivery on L87

    Good luck. Is it just a shuffle of the members of the PR team or something more major?

    GM issues stop delivery on L87

    I saw the claim about GM reversing the decision. Could you confirm with your contacts at GM? This would be a weird change and also would further undermine the company's credibility. It's making me ask myself, why should I trust your fix if you keep flip flopping between solutions? I think it...

    Cheers Tim! You created something very nice. The mix of different perspective and truck ownership is what makes this place so great. 🍻

    Question about reservations

    It's much lower than that. The Cybertruck had, allegedly, more than 2 million reservations and has only sell around 40K units since launch. A 2% take rate assuming that everybody that bought one, had a reservation. Ford had around 160K reservations and has only sold 80K units total since 2022.

    We bought a camper!

    Congrats! That's a nice camper and I hope it serves you well in the future! I'm happy you're getting something to tow on a more consistent basis. This will make for some interesting content.

    Rusted out F-150!

    I still can't wrap my head around that one from Consumer Reports.

    The tariffs happened!

    Well said, I wish I could write like this. I guess all that's left is to wait and see. 🍻
