In September, I’m heading to Automechanika Frankfurt 2026 in Germany to investigate how software, artificial intelligence and connected technology will change the way trucks are maintained and repaired. This will be my first time attending Automechanika Frankfurt, one of the largest automotive...

Toyota has added the missing TRD Pro details to its earlier 2027 Tundra and Sequoia announcements. Yes, the headline is a new exterior color. Tundra, Sequoia, and Tacoma TRD Pro models get a shade called Honeycomb, while the 4Runner receives a slightly different version called Hot Honey...

The 2027 Toyota Tundra hybrid vs. 2027 Chevy Silverado 1500 comparison has become more than an academic exercise for me. I am thinking about buying one of these trucks. I have owned previous versions of both. I bought a third-generation 2022 Tundra with the twin-turbocharged V6, and I previously...

For Jeep’s largest vehicle, the HEMI V8 is gone, but after a heavily loaded family trip from Manhattan to upstate New York, we are convinced the brand made the right call. I recently borrowed a 2026 Jeep Grand Wagoneer Limited Altitude 4X4 for a family trip that began in Manhattan and ended at a...

The 2027 Toyota Tundra changes include updated styling, a new Trailhunter package, a standard 14-inch multimedia screen, a built-in drive recorder, Toyota Safety Sense 4.0 and, perhaps most importantly, an available 2.4-kW inverter for i-FORCE MAX trucks. Yes, Toyota appears to have been...

After about a year and 16,000 miles behind the wheel of my 2025 Ram 1500 RHO, it was time for the truck to head down the road and make room for something new. That’s part of running an automotive review business. But before I traded it in, I spent some time thinking about what stood out after...

During the launch of the new Cummins 6.7-liter turbo diesel engine, I sat down with Doug Killian, Stellantis Chief Vehicle Synthesis Manager, to walk through the engineering changes. While the new engine features improvements to fuel delivery, serviceability and refinement, one question quickly...

When this owner bought his 2021 Chevrolet Silverado Custom Trail Boss with the 5.3L V8, he couldn’t wait to share it with viewers. He described the truck as “freakin sweet,” immediately began modifying it, and over the next several years documented nearly every step of ownership. Through...

A Flock camera AI system incorrectly identified the Jaguar Land Rover press vehicle I was driving as stolen, turning what should have been a routine drive home into a 90-minute traffic stop on a 98-degree Nebraska afternoon. The officer did exactly what he was supposed to do. The real problem...

The 2027 Chevy Tahoe isn’t getting a complete redesign, but Chevrolet is making several changes that buyers should know about before heading to the dealership. While the updates focus primarily on trim levels and option packages, they also expand the availability of popular features for diesel...

When the Ram 1500 RHO debuted for 2025, we drove it back-to-back against the outgoing Ram 1500 TRX to see whether Ram’s new twin-turbo performance truck could live up to the supercharged legend. You can read that original comparison here. Now, after driving the all-new 2027 Ram 1500 TRX SRT both...

When baseball-size hail pounded western Nebraska, it didn’t just leave a few dents in my Ford F-150. It left an estimated $13,000 in damage and could disrupt my future business plans. While hailstorms are nothing new on the High Plains, this one brought tornadoes, strong winds and enough ice to...

A teardown of a catastrophically failed Nissan Frontier VQ38 engine recently made the rounds online, raising fresh questions about the engine’s internal water pump. Did Nissan introduce a major weak point with its new 3.8-liter V6, or was this simply an isolated failure? After reviewing the I Do...

A few weeks back, Roush Performance teased an upcoming collaboration with the Ram Trucks brand and many members of the media – myself included – thought that the Michigan tuning company was planning to roll out a modified version of the new Ram 1500 TRX SRT. Earlier today, Roush introduced their...

When Ford introduced the 3.5L EcoBoost V6 in the 2011 F-150, many truck buyers questioned whether a twin-turbo V6 could really replace a V8 in a full-size pickup. Rather than simply claim it would last, Ford publicly abused one production engine, then tore it apart at the Detroit Auto Show for...

There is no shortage of videos telling you modern trucks are unreliable. Spend five minutes scrolling social media and you’ll hear about blown turbochargers, expensive repairs, and electronics failures. But every once in a while, I come across an owner who has actually lived with one of these...

Ram just handed me the keys to a 777-horsepower off-road super truck at a motocross track and said, “Have fun.” So, naturally, the first question was obvious: Are they crazy? Maybe. But after driving the 2027 Ram 1500 TRX SRT on-road, off-road and, yes, through a few jumps, there is a method to...

Toyota’s announcement that it will shift some Tacoma production from Mexico to Texas sounds like a major manufacturing shakeup. But that’s not the whole enchilada. Toyota isn’t walking away from Mexico. It’s simply moving production from an older Baja California plant while continuing to build...
