Pickup Trucks (Page 3)

Buying a truck like the 2026 Honda Ridgeline isn’t just for what it can tow or how it rides - for some, the sound system matters, and this owner, who bought a Ridgeline and two 2025 Chevy vehicles, classifies them from best to worst.

You probably know that Toyota just committed $3.6 billion to move Tacoma production out of Mexico and into Texas, but the numbers behind the expansion reveal exactly what Toyota expects from the truck market through 2030.

A die-hard Jeep Wrangler fan trades his rig for a 2026 Toyota Tacoma TRD Pro, abandoning the "Jeep Wave" community in favor of superior midsize-truck reliability. I analyze why manufacturing shifts are driving off-road enthusiasts away from Stellantis.

The owner expected the usual EV-truck towing collapse. Instead, his modified F-150 Lightning averaged 1.5 mi/kWh pulling a Pebble Flow from Fremont toward Southern California, with the trailer’s Active Tow Assist doing most of the hard work.

A 2024 Toyota Tundra owner is trading his truck for a 2026 Ford F-150 Tremor 3.5L, citing Toyota's relentless engine recalls and fading interior quality. Here is why the legendary 20-year reliability promise is driving truck buyers to Dearborn.

Modern GMC Sierra and Chevrolet Silverado trucks are so smart that mud and aftermarket lights can fool their safety systems.

The massive recall is over a problem with the transmission that may allow the vehicle to slip out of park and roll away.

The 2026 Honda Ridgeline had earned a lot of loyalty from its buyers. We’ll once again let an owner tell us his story of why.

A 2021 Chevy Silverado owner expected a difficult first trip towing a 34-foot camper, but after seeing a peak transmission temperature of 196°F, he came away with a very different conclusion.

A 2026 Ram Big Horn owner logs 13.1 MPG during a 1,000-mile towing test, proving the twin-turbo Hurricane out-bites the old HEMI V8. Here is why dropping the factory break-in oil twice before 2,000 miles is vital to protect this new engine.

A Cybertruck owner pulled a 4,500-pound single-axle Airstream Sport up to Julian, California, and back. The 200-mile trip averaged 520.8 Wh/mi, only 41 percent higher than his normal 370 Wh/mi.

A 2024 Toyota Tundra Platinum owner wants to know whether later builds avoided the early V6 engine recalls frustrating interior defects. I look at the technical truth behind ongoing window-track noise, broken volume knobs, and current assembly-line fixes.

A GMC Sierra owner traded his 2016 V8 for a 2026 TurboMax Elevation, noting he misses the V8 but the 2.7L engine isn't bad. Mechanics analyze how the TurboMax's 430 lb-ft spec-sheet torque matches real-world driving compared to GM's classic small-block.

A 2025 Toyota Tacoma SR5 owner reports a dangerous powertrain shutdown and unresponsive throttle at 5,434 miles. Following a total ECM main board failure, the recurring limp-mode issues have left this lifelong brand enthusiast "not a fan."

A 2025 Ram Rebel owner’s unresolved intermittent check engine light at 10,000 miles forces a formal factory STAR Case escalation. Here is why dealership technicians are deadlocked and what this advanced engineering intervention means for Ram owners.

A Reno Ford F-150 5.0L owner admits the compact Maverick Hybrid successfully replaces 90% of his full-size truck's daily work cycles while achieving 41 MPG, requiring a utility trailer just five times a year for heavy firewood and steel hauls.

The rear passenger door will not open from the inside. The front passenger handle now clicks and fails to retract. The dealer says the part backlog is large, and the owner does not want his modified truck sitting at the store indefinitely.

An EVgo transaction screen showed six fast-charging sessions totaling $453.64. The owner says his Florida-to-Michigan run in a 2026 GMC Sierra EV AT4 made him wish he had taken his Tesla.

A 2026 Chevy Silverado with 300 miles suffered a dead 5V battery overnight. Dealerships admit stuck over-the-air (OTA) software updates cause massive parasitic draws on the 12V system. Here is what truck owners must do to prevent a total network freeze.

The owner paired a 2025 Tundra Platinum TRD Off-Road i-FORCE MAX with a 2026 Coachmen Apex Nano 186BH. The trailer’s 4,700-pound GVWR and 22-foot-11 length kept the setup inside the truck’s comfort zone.

A Ram 2500 owner paid $6,400 for a repair his warranty should have covered, then got his truck back missing half its fan shroud with a coolant light glowing on the dash. See what the dealer blamed for the damage.

Comments from Honda Ridgeline owners suggest that they love the truck not for what it can do in the snow, but because of all the various problems it solves and challenges it can handle.

Ram's 2026 Rebel X starts near $72,000 and quietly targets BMW X5 and Lexus GX buyers instead of the Ford F150 or Silverado ZR2. It's an unexpected shift that most truck shoppers haven't caught onto yet.

A 2024 Toyota Tundra Platinum owner is living a travel nightmare after his twin-turbo V6 engine completely seized 750 miles from home. Left without a rental car or corporate support, he's stuck paying out-of-pocket for an unexpected engine swap.

A Texas owner traded his 2024 Toyota Tacoma SR5 with 47K miles for a 2026 Tundra Platinum. Here is why extreme high-mileage drivers are shifting to full-size platforms to preserve long-term powertrain durability and resale value. Will the strategy work?

A GMC Sierra EV owner switched to Pirelli Scorpion XTM AT 285/65R20 tires, drove Atlanta to Charlotte at 75 mph, and saw 2.1 mi/kWh one way and 1.9 mi/kWh coming back. The range loss may be smaller than the tread suggests.

The trailer looked legal by tow rating, but the scale tickets point toward a loaded truck near or over GVWR, a 29-foot high-profile camper, and a weight-distribution setup that needs a full reset before the next trip.

The next Honda Ridgeline may or may not move to a hybrid powertrain, but for now, the current 3.5-liter V6 has quite the history.

The Ford transmission park issue can be easily misunderstood because people may think the transmission suddenly shifts into Park while you're driving, but the real story is about what happens after the damage occurs. Now Ford is recalling 741,000 cars.

A lifelong Ram owner’s factory-ordered 2025 Limited bricked after just one week due to cascading shifter and ABS module failures. Hit with backordered parts, the loyalist is walking away from the brand forever, exposing a brutal new reliability crisis.
