Pickup Trucks (Page 48)

ANALYSIS AND OPINION: I hope this is about as mad as the mad doctor can be, signing a pact with the almost-devil of the car industry right before industrial birth of start up production. I guess he’ll be the industrial obstetrician. I hope the car baby ain’t no Rosemary’s. Dr. Scaringe is looking to make a deal with a devil who has more money than God. Jeff Besos of Amazon is in with this. What a strange three way this could be. I cringe: gee Doctor: will it be good for you too?

Ford introduced a new 7.3-liter gasoline V8 for the 2020 Super Duty lineup, but the fact that this new pushrod engine would fit in both the current Mustang and F-150 brings about some interesting possibilities – including the V8-powered Raptor that so many people want.

At the same time that Chevrolet debuted its all-new 2020 Silverado HD, it announced that it is hiring 1000 workers to build it. Many of those jobs will go to people being laid off at other GM plants.

The biggest news from Ford Motor Company at the upcoming 2019 Chicago Auto Show will be the formal introduction of the refreshed 2020 Super Duty lineup, but with a few days until the start of the Windy City show, the automaker has offered up a preview of their newest heavy duty pickups.

Toyota is building fewer vehicles in the United States and Canada, while its production in Mexico increases.

The Ford F-150 known as the Hoonitruck from Ken Block’s Gymkhana Ten is powered by a modified Ford GT EcoBoost engine fitted with a custom twin turbo setup and an intake manifold that is the biggest 3D-printed metal piece ever used on a working, driving vehicle in the world.

Here's what you can expect when Toyota reveals the new Tacoma next week.

Chevrolet is releasing a new ad campaign featuring the 2019 Chevy Silverado and the LEGO 2 movie. Here's why Chevy believes the tie-in will help.

It has been known for some time that Ford will eventually offer a hybrid variant of the Mustang and the F-150, but a patent filing from the Motor Company reveals a V8 hybrid drivetrain that also integrates all-wheel-drive – possibly signaling the first Mustang that powered all four wheels.

The pickup truck wars are moving into the heavy duty realm with automakers focusing on bigger, more capable and more fun off-road.

Toyota dominates the new 2019 KBB resale value rankings. Here's how Toyota did.

We had suspected that Ford would find a private label partner for its new Ranger. Now we know it will be VW.

The 2019 Ram Heavy Duty is powered by a new version of the 6.7-liter Cummins Turbo Diesel that delivers industry-leading torque levels of 1,000 lb-ft and in order to make use of that monster power, changes were made in just about every area of the trucks.

Just days after revealing the new 2019 Ram 2500 and 3500, Ram reveals that the new workhorse will be available in a sportier trim package.

Following long discussions, Ford and Volkswagen have entered into an agreement that will likely result in new vehicles, such as autonomous cars or electrics. There is also talk of VW and Ford jointly developing a global mid-sized pickup. That, though, is several years away.

Shortly after the Ram 1500 won as North American Truck of the Year, Ram unveiled the 2019 Ram Heavy Duty. Ram says the 2019 Ram Heavy Duty will set the new benchmark for performance and luxury.

We all know that the F-Series is the highest selling vehicle and has been for decades, but new numbers detail the incredible sales for Ford's workhorse.

ANALYSIS AND OPINION: There have been incidents across the country lately that have become more noticeable and reportable to both news agencies and the police. “Coal Rolling” and “ICE-ing” are suppose to be acts of protest against emissions policies but they are really nothing more than acts of cowardliness by ignoramuses. Empower rather than arm yourself by doing these ten things to stop these shameful people.

The 2019 GMC Sierra AT4 was already designed to challenge the Ram Rebel. More horsepower ups the ante in the fight for luxury pickup supremacy.

Ram trucks are being leased for as little as $129.00 per month, less than many compact sedans.

Honda has recalled a number of 2019 Ridgeline pickups and Pilot SUVs to fix a problem with side-curtain airbags. A vendor told the automaker that a number of center panels were incorrectly drilled so that side-curtain airbag deployment could be affected. Honda will replace the out of spec parts with new ones.

After meeting the 2020 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD earlier this week, the company has rolled out another shot of the all-new heavy duty truck – this time showcasing the premium High Country trim level with its own unique version of the polarizing new front end.

Ford Motor Company sold 72,102 F-Series trucks last month, marking the ninth-straight month in which more than 70,000 full-size trucks have been sold and making it very clear why the American automakers are focusing on trucks and sport utility vehicles rather than small and mid-sized sedans.

General Motors has introduced the 2020 Chevrolet Silverado Heady Duty, offering pictures and brief details on the next generation workhorse via a press release rather than rolling out the new truck at a major auto show.

More and more 2019 Chevrolet Silverados are hitting dealer lots. Although GM is not releasing monthly sales data, two new features are winning praise and sure to be popular.

Here is a matchup between a hybrid car, a tough truck, and a top-selling sporty crossover. Which wins in a stoplight race? You may be surprised at the answer.

OPINION ANALYSIS: Rivian Automotive, the once Clandestine now Maverick Electric Pickup Truck Maker added another BEV to its portfolio, a full sized three rower SUV called R1S. I’m so glad they made it nice and boxy and conservative and all BEV. All they need to do now is stretch that battery tray and back seat room, bespoke it out, make it LWB, send it upmarket past Bentley and Rolls, and let it sit next to Rover SVAutobiography, to let their brand take off, and let the doe roll in.

Yesterday morning, the 2020 Jeep Gladiator made its grand debut at the 2018 Los Angeles International Auto Show and based on what we can see and read about the long-awaited Wrangler pickup, the FCA engineers have given the community what they wanted – incorporating everything that makes the Wrangler so popular into a midsized pickup.

A 2008 Toyota Tacoma has 1.2 million miles. But that’s not the whole story about this one million mile Tacoma. Not at all.

Unveil Review: Rivian Automotive, the Michigan based startup that for ten years carefully, but secretly planned to find the right vehicle, at the right time, and at the right moment, to launch an all BEV the world hasn’t seen, seemed to find the right recipe to unveil that vehicle NOW, as they launched something that Tesla had expectations of doing first: to launch the first all electric pickup truck in the world. And Rivian did it. Not Ford. Not Tesla. This is a game changer . . .
