    2027 Toyota Tundra Hybrid vs. 2027 Chevy Silverado 1500: Which One Should I Buy?

    I have to say this surprised me when I put this together. Often, I'm so busy reporting the news or making it that I don't notice how trucks stack up. The real struggle for me is going to be from a business perspective. The 2022 Tundra was a massive success in that regard; however, it was a FULL...

    Toyota has added the missing TRD Pro details to its earlier 2027 Tundra and Sequoia announcements. Yes, the headline is a new exterior color. Tundra, Sequoia, and Tacoma TRD Pro models get a shade called Honeycomb, while the 4Runner receives a slightly different version called Hot Honey...

    2027 Toyota Tundra Hybrid vs. 2027 Chevy Silverado 1500: Which One Should I Buy?

    The 2027 Toyota Tundra hybrid vs. 2027 Chevy Silverado 1500 comparison has become more than an academic exercise for me. I am thinking about buying one of these trucks. I have owned previous versions of both. I bought a third-generation 2022 Tundra with the twin-turbocharged V6, and I previously...

    Why is Super Cruise availability limited to 1500 Short Beds?

    Why 6 Cylinders are Better than 8 in the Jeep Grand Wagoneer.

    For Jeep’s largest vehicle, the HEMI V8 is gone, but after a heavily loaded family trip from Manhattan to upstate New York, we are convinced the brand made the right call. I recently borrowed a 2026 Jeep Grand Wagoneer Limited Altitude 4X4 for a family trip that began in Manhattan and ended at a...

    Why is Super Cruise availability limited to 1500 Short Beds?

    That I don't know. The only thing I know is the crew cab, short bed is THE most popular configuration. Automakers sell the high majority of truck sales with this configuration. Could just be a supply/demand issue.

    Why is Super Cruise availability limited to 1500 Short Beds?

    I think it is because they haven't redone the HDs for real since 2019. The HD trucks don't have the computer hardware or software for Super Cruise to work.

    2025 Ram 1500 RHO Owner Review After 16,000 Miles: What I Loved, What I’d Change

    After about a year and 16,000 miles behind the wheel of my 2025 Ram 1500 RHO, it was time for the truck to head down the road and make room for something new. That’s part of running an automotive review business. But before I traded it in, I spent some time thinking about what stood out after...
