Toyota trucks globally are famous for twos things; something found in virtually every Toyota, unrelenting reliability, and Toyota’s diesel motors. Any Toyota enthusiast in the US will gripe about the how the Hilux in not available in the US market.

The midsize pickup market is booming, and Subaru needs to resurrect the Baja for North America. Would you buy one?

Shelby has made its own version to Ford's off-road flagship truck the Raptor. Shelby’s mad creation does not rely on the Raptor however, it is instead based on the F150 Lariat. Don’t let that be a deterrent though, it’s got some pretty big numbers to throw around.

There are so many myths floating around on how to get the best miles per gallon for your truck. One of the biggest topics in question is, “Getting a tonneau cover or cap significantly increases your gas mileage.” Though this tale sounds promising, buying a tonneau won’t exactly give you the best MPGs for your Toyota Tundra.

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.

Nissan confirms next-generation Frontier. It will likely be a 2019 MY and it will be built in the US. Here's the details.

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”.

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.
