Interesting, I just got invited to join Hyundai at the NY auto show. I'm on their radar now after the midsize truck article I wrote about them killing the Santa Cruz and bringing a new midsize truck to market. I haven't been to NY in a few years. And I've never been on a Hyundai program. I'm...

A 2027 Chevy Silverado 1500 work truck was recently spotted driving around giving us a first look at what the new model will look like later this year. 2027 Chevy Silverado 1500 Spy Photographer’s Notes As Silverado prototypes have begun shedding their heavy, black vinyl camouflage, this...

There isn’t a real fix per se. Basically, if it fails a test, you get a new engine. The heavier weight oil is a consumer piece of mind thing.

Belong in a cult. LOL What did you trade it in for?

Better believe I'm watching the USMCA closely. He made a lot of campaign promises to bring jobs back and the USMCA is the last area I can see where that would force companies to change their plans.

I ended up doing a video when I found some more information from the White House that specifically excludes nearly all vehicles including trucks from the 15% tariff. So, there's no reason for GM, Ram or Ford to bring truck production back to the U.S. I wonder what industry he is specifically...

I think there's also the business benefit of having more customers on your lot and you can create a connection for when customers want to upgrade in the future. Definitely some pros and cons to their strategy though. It would, though, be nice, to find a quality used car that has had a...

I've had drinks and off-the-record chats with engineers. They truly don't see the same issues the internet sees. Examples: Carbon build up Turbos blowing Cummins Lifter issues GM failed lifters and connection with AFM or DFM Oil change interval concerns (I'd wager 95% of people follow the...

I'm actually surprised there aren't more comments. All of the other channels are filled with comments. I ended up doing 2 different videos on this news with the Trump EPA GHG news (explaining really what it was), the auto/start stop change with the credit. The auto start/stop video was...

People in the industry watch my channel and others. They also look over the comments at times. A recent example was the changes for the Cummins engine. Doug Killian, the engineer I interviewed, watched the video and then read through the comments. I got the chance to interview Doug on the...

You haven't heard that the Colorado and Canyon don't have headlight switches?

I specifically asked Cory to ask about carbon build up. Do I think his answer changes anyone's mind? Nope. My local mechanic friend said they offered carbon build up removal years ago on V6 and V8 engines. Nobody bought the service, so they stopped doing it. And nobody is buying the service now...

Cory wrote this story, but yeah. We actually made it a point to ask the engineer who was there. It really stands out when the butt of the vehicle is off the ground. Jarring really.

It's interesting. People want me to report on it, but I don't think I'm going to unless an automaker decides to move production. Do I see any automaker truly doing that and not just doing it to look good? No, I do not. If I was GM, Ford or any other automaker, you can bet I'd be demanding a...

We’ve already broken down what makes the 2026 Ford Explorer Tremor different on paper. This time, we’re talking about how it behaves when you actually drive it; hard, off-road, on-road, and everywhere in between. After spending a long day in Death Valley and logging highway miles to get there...

Do you have any video ideas? I just enjoying driving the truck and my creativity tends to draw a blank.

Yuo. Sorry my brain skips ahead at times. That’s what I’m thinking.

Yeah, I was looking at a Ford F-150 Tremor. Much more comparable, then do comparisons on various trucks. The Ford F-150 would be used, but I don't know if that matters which is why I started this discussion. I don't want to buy new since it has been covered a zillion times. Buying used seems...

I've asked automakers about manual transmissions. They tell me the market is so small, it just doesn't make sense. Toyota sells their manual Tacoma primarily in the northeast, or so they told me, and I think the engineers got together to save it. I figure if Toyota execs had their way, they...

The issue is the RHO is not working as a comparison vehicle. If I had the Ford, I could do comparisons on the next two trucks I'm getting as well as videos on mods. Just a bridge gap before I buy the new Silverado. RHO isn't creating any new content.
