I know, we're a truck + SUV site but I read this article and thought... hmm. I actually didn't know they had sold a single one. The fancy "fratzonic chambered exhaust" doesn't work as intended in some cases. https://www.autoblog.com/news/dodge-charger-daytona-voluntary-safety-recall-2025

I've been seeing lots of articles from everywhere talking about the GM lifter issues and their new recall on the 6.2's which isn't lifter related. The HEMI issues which like GM were a bit all over the place including lifters. Then Ford is recall city with issues in both the 3.5 and 5.0. Toyota...

I couldn't resist...much love for the Ford guys but that's funny as hell.

Everyone, As we discuss changes happening in and around the automotive world, please remember to keep political beliefs and any bashing of political figures or parties out of the conversation. This can be tricky, especially with all the coverage surrounding EPA guidelines and tariffs. It’s...

Alex has great content and this video does a really good job breaking all of this down very simply. He also gives Tim a shout out.

New Cummins engine! New transmission! More gears! Better for efficiency! Still 1mpg less, ~6% less efficient than the Duramax and the Powerstroke. I don't get it?

Lots of new trucks the last couple of years... if the money wasn't yours and you had to buy a truck, what are you choosing? Mid-Size Half Ton Heavy duty For me it breaks down like this: Mid-size is probably a dead heat between the GMC Canyon AT4X (Not the bison) and the Tacoma Trail Hunter...

It's late, I'm drinking a little bourbon and catching up on some YouTube. I've gone through a handful of videos and then I found this gem. Heads up, the bourbon is talking. I did get caught up on your videos Tim, good stuff. I caught the shout out in the podcast. TFL did a video comparing the...

According to JD Power in Canada the GMC Canyon is the new leader in Midsize resale value. Interesting. Although it did win in 2023 too...

I'll post more thoughts later but I picked up this 24 Tacoma in LAX and going to put about 7 to 800 mi on it over the next 3 days.

I've shared a few of his videos here this is his most recent. He's a Toyota fan and builds over landing and technical off-road vehicles. I've seen quite a few posts on here about guys looking for cheap trucks, this fits. He's a very well respected mechanical engineer, and has a way of making...

Often times we talk about about things and don't really see the data, this post from Tacomaworld is interesting and I tought I would share it here. This is from a shop that does tunes. Here they're comparing peak tq and hp using 91 and 85 octane fuel. A reduction of 45ish torque. Also note the...

Pop's picked this up in the last day or two came from a F-150. Took an F-250 home for the day and then took this home for the day and didn't want to give it back. He's not the most tech savvy so he brought it up today so I could get him all connected and go through things with him. Said he...

It seems like these are software issues, hopefully they can be fixed easily. https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/companies/ram-1500s-jeep-wranglers-jeep-gladiators-among-1-2-million-vehicles-recalled-check-car-recalls-here/ar-AA1qfpNX?ocid=windirect&cvid=760a5a63a8ab42e2aabb9f0466f2af38&ei=17...

I've been consuming less and less TFL over the last several months but decided to give this one a shot and I was impressed. It's a great video getting into basic do's and don'ts and details about off-road trail recovery. They said they're going to be making more content with this guy...

Ok, I jest. However, this is the 2nd major manufacturer running small displacement turbo engines in SUV's and Trucks to have to recall and replace engines due to failure. https://gearjunkie.com/motors/car-suv/ford-ecoboost-engine-recall Also, side rant. I'm a little worn out of the "3rd party...

I didn't realize the number had gotten so high. I run premium in my truck and it's gone from .30c per gallon (pre-covid) to the 1.00 more per gallon I paid yesterday to fill up. It's been consistently around the .50-.80 above regular since COVID. The unintended cost of vehicles trying to meet...
