    Used truck on the channel

    I would not do it. This is a big expense and I'm not sure how much content you will be able to get out of it. It's not that I'm opposed to used truck content, but I can find 100000000000000000000000 videos on them from all type of folks. Can't you do the comparison with a press truck? It would...

    Extended warranty due to new truck prices

    I bought an extended warranty. The cost of repairs has exploded and buying a good warranty that covers the essential + electronics brings me peace of mind. I have a 250$ deductible and then they cover the rest. Labor rates are between 140-190$ an hour around here so if it takes more than an...

    16 year old tires

    The accepted wisdom is that you should replace the tires, no matter the mileage, if the tires are 10 years old or older.

    How automakers calculate GVWR and curb weight

    It would be awesome if you can get of the engineers from Ford, GM, etc. to talk specifically on the GVWR and not just a PR statement.

    How automakers calculate GVWR and curb weight

    How the hell can they factor in people in the GVWR but not payload!!!!!! This makes no sense at all. At the same time it could explain some of the differences we have been seeing over the years where if you weight your truck and do GVWR - the actual weight of your truck, you usually find some...

    GM, Allison Renew Brand Partnership: 2026 GM HD Trucks with Allison Badging Returns

    Is the GM transmission fix for all trucks? I thought diesel and HD trucks were still waiting on a final fix.

    What used truck buying research do you do?

    Rust! And then general condition of the truck, accident. I then look at the use points like the bed, hitch, tie downs to see if the truck was used as a truck and how. Also try to flip up or flip down all of the back seat since it’s an area that people and dealers forget to clean and that can...

    GM, Allison Renew Brand Partnership: 2026 GM HD Trucks with Allison Badging Returns

    Yeah the car guy online trying to call you out was lame. Of course nobody has the data, but brand reputation accounts for a lot of sale and I don't see a company like Allison risking it unless the amount of money offered was ridiculous. It's easy to be a hater...

    EPA Moves to Force Engine Makers to Fix Notoriously Faulty Diesel DEF Systems, Citing Major Savings for Farmers

    I'm hoping we will see a curve pointing towards more reliability, but diesel engine is the one area where it seems the reliability actually went down. Everybody I knew had Diesel engines in the 90s and 2000s and drove them till the body would literally fall off from the rust. Now, nobody...

    EPA Moves to Force Engine Makers to Fix Notoriously Faulty Diesel DEF Systems, Citing Major Savings for Farmers

    I’m more curious about the data itself than the rest. Hopefully they will make it public.

    GM 3.0L Duramax diesel known problem in the cold with no fix

    The thing about not plugging it in below 18f makes no sense. Let people plug in their truck at any temperature below freezing. Like what’s the downside, the engine and oil are up to temp faster?!

    Is early transfer case replacement a sign of an overworked engine?

    It could also be from improper use like using it on dry grippy terrain all the time while making sharp turns or making the truck slide in snow or ice and suddenly you get traction.

    Modern Truck Tailgates Compared: Useful Innovation or Just a Gimmick?

    Even simple tailgates are getting complicated. I need to unplug 3 different harness when removing the tailgate on my Tundra. But from all the fancy tailgates, I would choose the Ram splitgate. Easier access to the bed, can bring a forklift closer and if you want to climb up, you don’t need a...

    Compact Hyundai Santa Cruz Dead? Replaced by Future Midsize Truck

    I’m curious about the future truck. I’m not sure how they could change it to make it sell more.

    Turbocharged, Four-Cylinder New Truck Sales Are On Fire! Is the Internet Wrong On These Trucks?

    They also can’t be that bad or else fleet would switch to something else. Downtime for us is an inconvenience, downtime for fleets is a lot of money left on the table.
