Just finished wrapping up a 5 things to know story about the new Slate Truck. I love the DIY nature and, get this, hand-crank windows!! Is this too basic, or is it a truck that truck guys would buy? Would love your thoughts. I, personally, am very intrigued...

In two words: Not much. There are a couple minor changes as this truck is heading into its final two years. New wheels. New standard features. That's it. In this article, we also take a look at what we expect for the next-gen truck that should come out next year as a 2027 model. The two biggest...

Hi, all ... We posted a tariff update to the website. The TL;DR: Yes, the U.S. could create and sustain an in-house automotive industry, but it will take decades and hundreds of billions of dollars to do. In the short term (aka the next 10 to 20 years), prices on vehicles increase and nobody...

There's a new lawsuit covering the 2022-23 Toyota Tundra engine recall, stating that the recall doesn't go far enough to address all the issues. Full story: https://pickuptrucktalk.com/2024/12/toyota-tundra-engine-recall-lawsuit-has-been-filed/

Hi, all ... the embargo lifted today on the Ram 1500 RHO, so I wanted to make sure you saw couple of stories Tim and I pushed out. First, Tim's post comparing the RHO to the TRX, and why he likes <fill in the blank> better...

Looking at the new or significantly refreshed trucks for sale this year, there were just seven trucks that qualified. Five made it onto the semi-finalist list, which mean two trucks were voted off the island. Do you agree with this year's selection? If not, why? Finalists include: Ford Ranger...

We had heard through some Ridgeline forums that there was a stop sale on the 2024 Honda Ridgeline. So, we did some digging. While the recall issued in May is affecting vehicles built before April 24, 2024, It's not affecting vehicles being produced now. Vehicles experiencing problems are being...

In a couple of videos I've posted lately, people seem genuinely surprised that most new cars sold in 2024 have subscription fees associated with them. So, I wrote a quick story about some of the more common things that require fees after a free trial (below). My question to you: Are you OK with...

To be clear: Not much and nothing official. But it looks like the base diesel is being dropped, and we expect to see some of the tech and design upgrades from the 1500 to trickle up. If you had a wish list of features for this truck, what would you put on it? Our complete story with...

I'm always very intrigued by the Cars.com American-Made Index every year -- and the fact that it's rarely a Detroit 3 truck that tops the list. This year, for the third year in a row, the Honda Ridgeline was dubbed the most American truck. Does that sit well with you? How about the fact that the...

We had a lot of discussion last night on the Livestream about Apple CarPlay and the fact that General Motors has removed it from the EVs (which could be a harbinger of things to come in gas vehicles). There are studies out there that say 30% of car buyers consider CarPlay a must-have feature...

I'll just post this here ... What do you think? What do you want on this next-gen 4Runner? https://pickuptrucktalk.com/2024/03/2025-toyota-4runner-is-coming-let-the-teaserpalooza-begin/

When Tim and I both attend an event, like we did with the 2024 Ford Ranger, I often write it up for other publications while Tim writes our review for PUTT. I combined Ranger and Ranger Raptor into one story, so my review didn't appear until yesterday. So, if you're curious about what I thought...

We talked about park assist last night on the live stream, and we went into the way back machine when I was driving the Genesis GV80 and was testing the system. The vehicle kicked me out. Tim found the video on the channel, so I figured I'd post here for your viewing pleasure. Most park assist...

Saw the same story on Auto News mentioned by @Honcho in his thread. It's a software issue with no details given. Makes us wonder if this is at all related to the the software issues we saw with the 2023 model. 🤔 Anyone out there affected by the stop sale...

We posted a story about the split roof issues on the Silverado and Sierra. Wondering if anyone is waiting on a 2024 model or had any run ins with the split roof defect. General Motors has been fairly mum about the issue and how long the stop sale will go on. Their company line: “We can confirm...

Though Jill is relatively new to focusing on pickup trucks, she’s been in the automotive biz for nearly two decades. She launched her career as the automotive editor for Pioneer Press Newspapers, a weekly suburban newspaper owned by the Sun-Times News Group with a circulation of more than...
