    New writer John Cappa Ram 2500 towing piece

    I've read John for decades. Back when I used to get a hard copy of JP and Four-wheeler. Always liked his writing and his leadership at both mags.

    Stellantis posts 2.7B loss, blames tariffs

    Their loss is $2.7B, but the tariffs cost them $385M, which is less than 15%. How are tariffs the biggest blame?

    What happened to the $10k Toyota truck? It is on sale now

    Yeah, I'd agree. Especially after 2024 which had so many new releases, this year has been pretty slow. The tariffs started to create news with anticipation of being able to create content on the results but then they get reduced or put on hold. Without some results of how they affect or not...

    New VW ID.Buzz bus failing already in U.S.? Red flags

    Too much of a niche vehicle and just not that interesting I'd guess.

    Great discussion on how reliability data works and where it can fall short on being useful

    I would disagree with both statements. Those statements are the definition of confirmation biases. You don't agree with CR results; therefore, their methodology and results must be wrong. I understand they are not the only source for reliability, but they have the greatest amount of data than...

    2026 GMC Acadia Denali Ultimate – 5 things you need to know

    Not bad. Now they need to bring the Ultimate package to the Canyon. Add SuperCruise and the powered steps.

    What happened to the $10k Toyota truck? It is on sale now

    Great truck for what it was built for. It would never sell here like it is. Maybe for Home Depot to rent out so people don't stack 10 sheets of drywall on top of their Corolla.......

    Great discussion on how reliability data works and where it can fall short on being useful

    I think it's much more positive and agreeable than not. But truthfully, it's always been that way; it's just now you can actually receive that feedback. This new digital world is the first time that people can directly reply to any statements about anything. Writing an article in a magazine...

    Ford recalls 850k vehicles: Mexico supplier fuel pump mishaps

    The question back to them is, "So no other brand issues multiple recalls for the same thing?" We all know others do and yet there's Ford with a slice of pie so big it would choke Joey Chestnut.....

    Great discussion on how reliability data works and where it can fall short on being useful

    To me CR, JD and the like are all just part of the equation. Knowing where the data comes from and how it's used is a big part of it. Surveying thousands of people and compiling the results is about as fair and equal as you can get. Will they always be truthful? Of course not, but the idea is...

    Great discussion on how reliability data works and where it can fall short on being useful

    Damn, I must be one of the few Ram owners that also has a CR account....lol. This is a great video and does point to the issues in trying to determine when something is "reliable" or not. And like any comparison, the amount of data and the source of data is so important. Personally, I tend to...

    Ford recalls 850k vehicles: Mexico supplier fuel pump mishaps

    Irrelevant to what they are for. Every brand must replace labels when they are incorrect. The sheer number is what is so crazy to me. I know they are aware and have been trying to fix this for some time and that is what is so shocking; that they can't figure out why it's happening. How are so...

    Ford recalls 850k vehicles: Mexico supplier fuel pump mishaps

    Ford announced a recall?---yawn. I get that email from NHTSA every Monday and start scrolling hoping not to see a Ford product, but alas, I'm not sure that Monday will ever arrive.......

    Hurricane engine has no dipstick

    Tim, you've been dipstick-less now for a while. What's the feeling? Make you nervous? Do you check the screen often?

    Plastic upper control arms on 5th gen and newer (2019+)

    I wouldn't sweat it unless you are getting something really extreme. No different than exceeding the range a metal upper. Of course, when you go up, you can upgrade everything, so durability is equal.

    Ram Customer Care Response to 0w20 Oil Question

    Bottomline, no engineer will give an opinion. They will test and provide data. That's the world they live in, and I respect that. As soon as one says one thing, then another actually tests it to prove it. As Tim has told us about the gazillions of hours and simulated miles they put these...

    Plastic upper control arms on 5th gen and newer (2019+)

    This. Sure, you could put each one in a vice to see what breaks first but that isn't how they are used so who cares? All one could do is put a plastic one on one side and metal on the other and drive a 100K miles to see if either break. No? Keep driving, we'll wait..... Really, the only true...
