It is not surprising that Toyota is ceasing production of its two-door pickup truck starting with the 2018 Tundra, and the reasons are explicit: low profit, cost similarities between cabs, CAFE regulations and low demand.

New car reviews are relatively easy for the journalist, and more often than not result in positive accolades for the new car or truck reviewed. After all, most new vehicles manufactured today are pretty darn good. Torque News revisits 2017 Honda Ridgeline after 8,000 abusive miles. I still drives like new.

You can now build your ideal 2018 Ford F150 Raptor on Ford.com, but if you waited for the 2018 model year before picking up one of the 450hp off-road monsters, you are going to pay a little more than you would have for the 2017 model year – with both base pricing and popular equipment group pricing rising for the new models.

I’ve been seeing several posts online lately where someone’s Toyota Tundra was stolen. For some people, it’s no big deal because “that’s what insurance is for”. But for others, their Tundra means everything to them. When you put all your hard-earned money into your pride and joy, you have every right to be upset if someone just steals it from you and trashes it. Finding the right security system for your truck could prevent larceny from happening to you.

The Ford Ranger is slated to return to the US in 2019. This wasn’t a big deal, simply the rebirth of dead Ford truck and another addition to the light truck market. Until yesterday, when Ford blew our minds with a seriously awesome video of a Ranger blasting through the Australian outback dressed in some black and white automotive camo and a few bags. If you haven’t seen the video, stop everything and watch it now.

I had always been diesel-curious, but it wasn’t until spending four and a half years of my military career zipping along Germany’s Autobahns in turbo-diesel powered cars that it became a lifestyle choice. I knew the advantages diesel offers in fuel economy and low-end power, so I set my sights on a new VW Passat. My 2007 6-speed Passat wagon in Germany was great on fuel, cut the air like a knife, and felt solid and luxurious. So how did I end up with a Ram 1500 as our family car?

Before you roll out the dough, there are some very obvious factors to take into consideration.
