Good point about Tacoma. The value part of the equation is tough. With re. the EV truck, though, as long as it can easily do the things the automaker touts it can do, I'm not opposed to having it on the list. Part of the point of this award is to push the envelope a bit. But if it doesn't get...

Are they? Silverado EV didn't win last year. I think there was the initial oooooh aaaaaah of EVs, and that's why Lightning won when it was up for the award two years ago, but the shine has worn off. Coming from more of a truck background, that's why I was the only juror (literally the only one)...

Out of curiosity, why?

Looking at the new or significantly refreshed trucks for sale this year, there were just seven trucks that qualified. Five made it onto the semi-finalist list, which mean two trucks were voted off the island. Do you agree with this year's selection? If not, why? Finalists include: Ford Ranger...

Jimmy Lewis is even more amazing IRL! Super excited to be entering 4X4 class ... wrote a little bit about why I think it's going to be both easier and harder in the Ram RHO. https://pickuptrucktalk.com/2024/09/ram-1500-rho-makes-rebelle-rally-easier-harder/

I mean has no one ever lived in a city??? I have shared a garage in almost every apartment I've had here.

With re. Super Cruise and Blue Cruise, the automakers are double dipping. They make you pay extra for the hardware and then they continue to gouge you with subscription fees. I was surprised to see how much more expensive Blue Cruise was than Super Cruise.

CRAZY, right. When I heard that, I was like, um, people don't talk about this! I gotta mention it.

Yeah. BMW likes to do this trial subscription crap in Europe to see how people react -- like when they tried the heated seat subscription. Then when it doesn't go well, they scrap it. This video is new, and looking at the screen, the fee is not in US dollars. So, they're trying another...

We had heard through some Ridgeline forums that there was a stop sale on the 2024 Honda Ridgeline. So, we did some digging. While the recall issued in May is affecting vehicles built before April 24, 2024, It's not affecting vehicles being produced now. Vehicles experiencing problems are being...

In a couple of videos I've posted lately, people seem genuinely surprised that most new cars sold in 2024 have subscription fees associated with them. So, I wrote a quick story about some of the more common things that require fees after a free trial (below). My question to you: Are you OK with...

To be clear: Not much and nothing official. But it looks like the base diesel is being dropped, and we expect to see some of the tech and design upgrades from the 1500 to trickle up. If you had a wish list of features for this truck, what would you put on it? Our complete story with...

Not as easily. If you watched the video, you'll see what happened when I asked Siri to read my text messages. I want to be able to select which text message to read because I don't need my passengers (and the rest of YouTube) knowing about my broken toilet. :ROFLMAO:

I think they still have to do this? That's partially where Cars.com gets their info from.

The automaker decides how CarPlay appears in your screen. GM purposely made I look ugly and not allow maps to fill out screens because it wants you to use its native system. I've been in plenty of cars that have full screen iOS. 🤷🏻‍♀️

My only thing is I want to be able to answer text messages hands free and listen to voicemails while driving. The new GM system doesn't let you do that easy if you're getting into the car with texts and messages already in play.

LOL. That's totally fair!! If you've never had it, you probably won't miss it. And I also like to drive in silence. Drives my husband NUTS. But one thing I've become very accustomed to is listening to my voicemails (and deleting them) as well as catching up on my text messaging while I'm driving...

I'm always very intrigued by the Cars.com American-Made Index every year -- and the fact that it's rarely a Detroit 3 truck that tops the list. This year, for the third year in a row, the Honda Ridgeline was dubbed the most American truck. Does that sit well with you? How about the fact that the...

We had a lot of discussion last night on the Livestream about Apple CarPlay and the fact that General Motors has removed it from the EVs (which could be a harbinger of things to come in gas vehicles). There are studies out there that say 30% of car buyers consider CarPlay a must-have feature...

Figured I'd add this to the same thread. New teaser today + reveal is coming next week. https://pickuptrucktalk.com/2024/04/next-gen-toyota-4runner-to-be-revealed-april-9-new-teaser/
