AI is creepy as shit. And the fact that it uses us to learn is creepier. I occasionally dig into AI to see what it will spit out at me, and it's often spitting out incorrect information. For those who don't know how to do their own research, they feed off the incorrect information and spread...

I thought there was plenty of muscle car spirit, and I actually felt the rumble. I also thought it was flashy. Maybe I'm a party of 1, but I liked it. Linked my review in another comment.

You can say "dumbest shit ever" after you've driven it. I actually really liked it. I thought it was fun to drive on a race track and really quiet and comfortable on road. It's not without quirks, but I don't believe it deserves your rancor. IMHO. Then haters gonna hate. 😉 In case anyone is...

I think it was more that the Jeep Gladiator had more parts sourced from the U.S. last year. Suppliers are always changing, and while assembly and workforce are probably the two biggest static measurements, where the engines and transmissions come from could affect list position.

I always geek out over this list because it's always such a shocker. At least Honda Ridgeline got knocked off the top spot this year ...

My take: Someone got their feelings hurt because they aren't on the A-list. Welcome to the club. Not everyone gets invited to every event. And if you want to attend the so called "closed door meeting," then do your job better. This culture of entitlement drives me nuts. There are still events I...

Thanks for posting. I try to send them through from the back end when posting the article, but it doesn't always come through!

Good question. 😂 @testerdahl and I have both been a bit out of pocket lately. We will discuss and see when we can get back to the livestream.

I think the truck guy attitude is the biggest reason why full size truck EVs won't sell. I think they could work in midsize or compact trucks, but the full-size truck guy is just different. I understand why automakers wanted to start here (to make the most money), but it was certainly a tactical...

So, this is a very different article than what Auto News pushed out ... 😂 But a great idea. The story I just published summarizes their story and adds some of my own thoughts. I'm heading to Rebelle training tomorrow, but I'll put this on my calendar to dig into next week. I think these are all...

Working on this. What specifically do you want to know?

Yeah. Seat comfort on GM vehicles is one of the biggest problems for me. @testerdahl and I often point this out in our reviews. They're fine for quick trips, but anything over an hour gets to me. I think @Fightnfire had the right idea of checking out the memory foam seat cushions. If you find...

I posted a separate thread, but here's the link to the story I just did. https://pickuptrucktalk.com/2025/04/slate-truck-revealed-5-things-to-know/

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...

Definitely sorry to hear this. I used to syndicate their content when I was with Sinclair Broadcast Group. It was always top quality, and the guys who work there are all awesome. But, yeah, diversification matters.

I know that Honda had/is having a media drive in Puerto Rico (I think), but we weren't invited. It either happened earlier this month or is happening imminently. When they do the media drives, they typically go on sale within a couple weeks.

I think it's bigger than licensing fees. I think they also want to set the stage for subscriptions. Apple CarPlay is free to the user. But the new Google built-in system comes with a subscription fee, which right now is after an 8-year trial. But if GM can convince current owners that they...

It's not automakers plural. It's just one: GM. And people are still buying their EVs, even without CarPlay, so maybe they aren't wrong? The only way GM will relent and add back in CarPlay is if people stop buying their products. But as long as they make $$, they ignore the dissenters.

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...

They have to stay in competition with each other, but they also need to make $$. Trucks are traditionally the biggest money makers for OEMs, so there is probably a little wiggle room. But I think that $4k to $10k takes into account the wiggle. Consider that a base work truck costs about $40k...
