    Weird. Honestly, I'm staying at my Dad's for the past week. He's stressing me out. I feel like I'm being judged every day. Rather ridiculous.

    I cover more details in the video. Question for everyone. Do I look tired and worn out in this video? I got some initial comments that I do. I’m staying at my Dad’s and my wife flies in tomorrow. TBH, it has been taxing, but I thought I was handling it pretty well. Guess not? LOL 25 New...

    He's been wanting to venture off into a different brand for a while. He sees the limiting factor of just doing one brand. However, there are pros and cons to that approach. I've been skimming the comments on YT and Facebook. It is a mix of love/hate for the idea on buying the RHO. It will be...

    New 2025 full-size SUVs Compared: Tahoe, Expedition, Armada and more!

    I've been texting back and forth with TRD Jon and had a phone call over the check engine light issue. It is a hell of a gamble in my opinion. It's one thing for the commenters to say "hell yeah man, go for it." It's another to actually buy another brand of truck.

    Did you read the news of why electric pickups are failing?

    A colleague of mine summed it up quite simply with this: Where do pickups sell? The Heartland. Where do EVs NOT sell? The Heartland.

    Thanks. I got busy with my family and meant to post over here. The YT comments are as expected. Over on TikTok? Holy hell. LOL. 117k views as of this morning and I had to stop reading the comments. People throwing in viewpoints from Australia, China, etc... Jeez. It hasn't even been 24 hours...

    New engine and vehicle reliability?

    BTW, the above is why I love trucks. We can all have great view points, argue, pour a drink, argue again and be friends at the end of the day.

    New engine and vehicle reliability?

    I’d still argue a 2005 Lariat isn’t a 2025 Lariat. That’s not apples to apples. I’d say a 2005 Lariat is not even an XL in 2025. That truck just doesn’t exist anymore.

    New 2025 full-size SUVs Compared: Tahoe, Expedition, Armada and more!

    That's a thought. The only issue I can foresee is I get one a year. Hopefully they don't make major changes between the times I get them. That would mess things up. I think I could do it as well if I had a video editor who could download past footage and then re-edit things together. I could...

    Such a fun day. I can’t say anything. Just fun. Tim is the best truck CEO. I could just record him and you’d watch every word he says. He’s very entertaining.
