For decades, pickup truck buyers were told there was no replacement for displacement. Bigger engines meant more powerful trucks, period. Yet 2025 sales data tells a very different story. Turbocharged four-cylinder new truck sales are on fire much to the dismay of online commenters who say they...

The DOJ has declared it won’t pursue legal charges against people who delete diesel trucks or give them tunes to remove emissions equipment. Does this mean it is legal to remove them? Not exactly. Why delete diesel emissions equipment? First, why would diesel truck owners delete or remove...

It was interesting that he mentioned how the warranty was really a business decision. Warranties are expensive, but if the sales are there then the business case makes sense. I had not heard a CEO put in those terms. Makes sense.
