    New Trump CAFE standards rollback Biden targets to 34.5 MPG, reduce new vehicle prices – how it will impact your next truck purchase

    It's not going to affect me that much because, like you said, It's going to take several years to adjust to this so manufacturers will ignore it because the next administration is just going to reinstate the previous regulations anyway.

    Improved Toyota Tundra Scores Help Toyota Reclaims Consumer Reports Reliability Crown, Despite Engine Failure Recalls

    I watched the video. How in the world does Consumer Reports think recalls don't affect owners and their experience? "Yeah you had to take time off to get your truck worked on. Yeah you might have had to ask for a ride because we were out of loaners. Yeah you might have to wait without a...

    TFL Truck of the year (Ike test) GMC Sierra

    I figured TFL just did a human error that all people do. Nobody's perfect. (Which is why I LOL at comments on YT.) They do say it's, "Real world testing" after all. Forgetting things is definitely real world. Fightnfire is right though. That feature should be readily accessible and not...

    TFL Truck of the year (Ike test) GMC Sierra

    Worse, the commenters are saying that TFL rigged the game by forgetting to hit the tow/haul mode on the Tundra.

    Does anyone care about turning radius anymore?

    It may just come up in the comments during launch, but I bet people would appreciate that stat when comparing trucks side by side.

    Does anyone care about turning radius anymore?

    I noticed that nobody talks about the turning radius in pickups anymore in reviews. Given all the parts and equipment running I do for work, if I have to get a new truck, I'd like to know what the stats are so I can include them in my decision.

    If VW were to sell Scout, who would buy it?

    Hyundai/Kia They have EVs already and this would boost or create their pickup truck portfolio.

    TFL Truck of the year (Ike test) GMC Sierra

    Reminded me of the time I towed a T-300 Bobcat and a five headed Pigmy date palm tree to a coworker's house with my 2002 Silverado Z-71. (I do not recommend that.)

    Should VW Sell Scout Motors?

    No. Just open the doors with a hybrid setup instead of starting as an EV.

    Where's the retread car show?

    I was commenting on a car site about pickups and it got me thinking. With the Ford Raptor, Ram RHO, and old TRX; why hasn't Hollywood made a new version of "Dukes of Hazzard", "Knight Rider", or "Fall Guy"? These trucks were made to do stunts. All you have to do is throw in a safety cage and...

    Looking forward to it. If it's anything like the oil video, it's going to be great!

    Are new trucks really that much more complicated than older ones?

    I have seen people buy dedicated laptops and tablets just for their trucks. To me it's an evoluton of the scan tool. I'm not happy about it, but I understand. The main thing is to make the codes and programs needed affordable and accessible.

    Are new trucks really that much more complicated than older ones?

    I changed out the timing chain tensioners in my 2011 Ford Ranger. it's a 4.0 SOHC V-6. They are considered a long term "wear item" like accessory belts and spark plugs. If they are not changed, the timing chain itself will get slack in it and wear out the guide rails, resulting into a roughly...
