Houston GMC Sierra owner Brent Jones is skipping the 2026 Toyota Tundra, choosing to wait for 2027 models instead. Why the delay? We dive into the reliability data and why long-time GM loyalists are eyeing Toyota’s next-gen fixes over current V6 turbos.

GMC Sierra owner David Tidwell ditches his 3.0L Duramax for a 2026 Ram 1500 after "imploding" engines and thrust bearing failures. From missing footwell lights to diesel leaks eroding leaf springs, he reveals why the fuel savings weren't worth the hassle.

6,700 miles and a failed engine? 2026 GMC Sierra owner Jacob Van Den Top reports lifter failure on his 6.2L V8, challenging GM’s claims that the valvetrain issues were resolved for 2026. Is a DFM disabler now mandatory for new truck owners?
