Pretty impressive for a Chinese product. I am curious how much of the tech is pirated though. If they do build a factory in Mexico, they might sell quite a few in the USA & Mexico given how expensive other midsize trucks are now.

I just watched another Steve Lehto video about a Ford patent for serving up ads in vehicles on the built in screens and over the speakers. As he mentioned in the video, it's just a patent and Ford may not actually do it, but I wouldn't be surprised if it eventually happens. Everywhere I look...

Went to Hakai Pass on the BC coast for a few days. It's a little spendy to fish up there, but it's easy to catch fish. Beautiful part of the world too.

I just watched Andre's video about how the Land Cruiser sucks at towing. There are several things he points out that seem to be easy fixes for Toyota. I don't know why they made so many poor design choices. The only SUV I've ever towed with was a GMT800 Tahoe. It was simple and really no...

https://www.autoweek.com/news/a61532276/mandatory-speed-limiters-europe-cars/ This article is a month old, but I'm just now seeing it. I'm sure it won't be long before they are mandated in the US too.

I just saw this pop up on Bring a Trailer. They have over 400 pictures. It's in amazing shape. Hard to believe a 26 year old Suburban is out there in this condition with those miles on it. The pictures are a good trip down memory lane. https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1998-chevrolet-suburban-27/

I have only watched the first 2-3 minutes so far. Long enough to get the jist of what they are going to do in the video and also see the truck Tucker drives: 1987 Silverado. I hope they talk a little bit more about the Chevy in this video than just the intro. It sounds like it's gonna be...

Wow. I would like to see what is in the patent. Ford should explain this one.

I've not been shy about sharing my skepticism of the tech in modern vehicles. I assume the vehicle in this video was still covered under warranty. Can you imagine the cost if it wasn't? Even a towing professional has issues recovering this hunk-o-junk. I can't imagine trying to tow one myself...

I've seen a couple videos of the 2025 model release event. Now that Ford is making the 4x4 (AWD) hybrid, I predict that thing will sell like hotcakes. I wouldn't be surprised if dealerships do markups even now while other models are being discounted. I'm going to test drive one when they hit the...

I'm not a big fan of most of the new technology on modern trucks. However, it looks like the extra sensors and monitoring helped protect the truck in this test. I was a bit surprised it got so hot that quickly though.

Tim, in my youtube feed a video was suggested for a Cat 2025 pickup truck. I did a little research and I can't find any info about it except for a bunch of youtube videos. If you do a good search for "cat pickup truck" and click videos, the top 28 results are youtube videos. They all look like...

Andre from TFL talked with an engineer about a variety of things relating to towing, payload, tires, etc. I always like these discussions when Tim or someone else talks with engineers. Maybe I'm biased because I'm an engineer, but I think a lot of guys in general like to know more about the...

I got an email from AT&T this morning saying that some of my data associated with my phone number was accessed by hackers. Supposedly no personal information was accessed, but they did get texts. What's concerning to me is I haven't had an account with AT&T for a couple years now. They kept...

Payload is a frequent topic and how limited it is in trucks. I watch this channel sometimes and couldn't help but think about payload when I saw what these people put on their bikes. I guarantee they are hauling more than some half ton trucks are rated to haul. It's a totally different world.

I find this video very interesting. I've noticed Youtube and Google search are much worse now than in the past. The heyday of actually being able to find almost anything you want on the internet is gone. I find myself now wanting to re-look at an article or something I've seen in the past, but...

I just saw this come across my Youtube feed. We've debated technology in cars on this forum before. This is a hack that appears to haven't taken down 15,000 dealerships. Hopefully it just disrupted the day to day business and didn't compromise personal and financial information of customers and...

Joe had a voice like no other. RIP

I just watched the weekend edition of TFL's Ike Gauntlet. The Taco did okay, but the Land Cruiser hybrid didn't do so hot. They couldn't get the integrated brake controller to work. It seems like Toyota is being plagued by problems, big and small, a lot lately. A lot of it is blown out of...

I just drove my 2006 Chevy 2500 about 70 miles today and thought about how comfortable these older style seats are. Then I get home and Tim’s got a video about the new Sierra Denali and he talks about how crappy its seats are now. Check out the padding on these old seats in my Chevy.
