Pickup Truck +SUV Talk

Send us Fan MailAfter 10 years of building Pickup Truck Plus SUV Talk, it's time for the biggest expansion in our company's history.In this episode, I share the story behind the launch of We Talk Cars—why I decided to expand beyond trucks, what we've learned from listening to our audience, and how that feedback shaped an entirely new automotive media outlet.I also explain how Pickup Truck Plus SUV Talk and We Talk Cars will work together, why we're doubling down on reliability reporting, buyer's guides, engineering interviews, comparisons, and practical reviews, and why I believe today's automotive media has lost sight of what real consumers actually need.This isn't just the launch of another website. It's the next step in building an independent automotive media company focused on serving enthusiasts and everyday buyers with honest, practical information.Thanks for being part of this journey. None of this would have been possible without your support over the last decade.Check out We Talk Cars: https://wetalkcars.comCheck out Pickup Truck Plus SUV Talk: https://pickuptrucktalk.comSupport the show

Send us Fan MailGM has finally revealed the all-new 2027 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 and GMC Sierra 1500, and in this episode I explain why I'm planning to buy one. But before I sign on the dotted line, there are several important questions I need answered.I dive into the new V8 engines, whether GM has finally addressed the lifter reliability concerns, Trail Mode versus 4-Lo, the return of the Duramax diesel, the redesigned interior, and why improved seat comfort matters far more than another giant touchscreen.I also recap the biggest truck news of the week, including the Ram Hemi's surprising return, the Slate electric pickup, and the latest reliability stories from Pickup Truck Plus SUV Talk.Sponsored by Screen ProTech.

Send us Fan MailThis week on Truck News Recap, Tim discusses the biggest traffic day in Pickup Truck Talk history and the surprising story behind it. A two-year-old interview with the chief engineer of the Ram Hurricane inline-six engine exploded online, reigniting the debate over whether Ram made the right decision replacing the legendary Hemi V8.Why are truck buyers still arguing about Hemi versus Hurricane? Was Ram right to move forward with turbocharged six-cylinder power? Or did customers force the company to bring the Hemi back?Tim also covers the latest truck news, reliability stories, recalls, upcoming reviews and provides an update on what's happening behind the scenes at Pickup Truck Talk.Topics in this episode: Ram Hurricane vs Hemi debate  Why the Hurricane engine continues to gain support  Ram bringing the Hemi back  Ford 6.7L Power Stroke known issues  Ford Super Duty reliability concerns  Toyota Tundra and ToyotaCare updates  GMC Sierra Denali Ultimate vs Ford F-150  Upcoming Ram BackCountry and Rebel Lunar Edition reviews  Major announcement coming July 1 Read the latest truck news: https://pickuptrucktalk.comGet your screen protector: https://www.screenprotech.com/timFollow Pickup Truck Talk: Website: https://pickuptrucktalk.com YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@PickupTruckTalk#TruckNews #Ram1500 #Hemi #HurricaneEngine #PickupTruckTalk #TruckPodcast #RamTrucks #PickupTrucks #AutomotiveNews #TimEsterdahlSupport the show

Send us Fan MailThe 2027 Ford Bronco Filson looks like a premium outdoor collaboration on the surface, but the bigger story may be what Ford did not say. Ford kept calling this new Bronco “premium,” not “luxury,” and that word choice could matter if the rumors about a future Lincoln off-roader based on the Bronco platform turn out to be true.In this week’s Pickup Truck Talk news recap, Cory breaks down the new Bronco Filson after spending time with Ford and Filson in the Pacific Northwest. He looks at the Raptor-inspired hardware, including the 3.0L EcoBoost V6, Sasquatch package, Fox shocks and 35-inch tires, plus the quieter cabin, power running boards and premium interior touches that may hint at where the Bronco platform is headed next. Also in the news: ToyotaCare changes, Toyota Tundra reliability questions, Cummins engine teardown concerns and more truck and SUV stories worth following.#PickupTruckTalk #FordBronco #BroncoFilson #TruckNews #SUVNewsGet your Screen ProTech screen protector:https://screenprotech.com/timJoin our Patreon:https://www.patreon.com/c/pickuptrucktalkSupport the show

Send us Fan MailToyota has expanded its twin-turbo V6 engine recall again, and this time we finally have a better idea why these engines are failing.According to a newly filed NHTSA report, Toyota spent months tearing down engines, analyzing failed components, and conducting laboratory testing. The investigation led engineers to one component in particular: the #1 main bearing.The company says machining debris, often called "swarf" in the manufacturing industry, may not have been fully removed during production. That debris can contaminate the bearing, causing wear, engine knocking, rough running, and in some cases complete engine failure.In this video, I break down: ► Toyota's latest recall filing ► Why the #1 main bearing matters ► What Toyota's engineers discovered during testing ► The role of metal shavings (swarf) in engine failures ► How this recall differs from previous Tundra engine recalls ► What current Tundra owners should knowThe biggest surprise? Toyota's investigation found the same wear patterns seen in earlier recalled engines, suggesting the problem extended further into production than originally believed.Do you own a 2024 Toyota Tundra? Have you experienced engine issues? Let me know in the comments below.Support the show

Send us Fan MailThe 2027 Ram 1500 Rumble Bee brings HEMI power back in a big way, but the most interesting detail may be what Ram removed, and what it kept. The new Rumble Bee 5.7L HEMI drops eTorque and auto start/stop, yet still uses MDS cylinder deactivation to help with fuel economy during light-load driving.In this week’s Pickup Truck Talk news recap, Cory breaks down why Ram made that choice, what it means for enthusiasts, how the Rumble Bee differs from regular 2027 HEMI-powered Ram 1500 trucks, and why this new muscle truck lineup could be one of Ram’s smartest moves yet. Also in the news: a new Nissan Frontier trim, more recalls, and new aftermarket products worth checking out.#PickupTruckTalk #RamRumbleBee #Ram1500 #HEMI #TruckNewsGet your Screen ProTech screen protector:https://screenprotech.com/timJoin our Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/pickuptrucktalkSupport the show

Send us Fan MailGas prices are rising again, yet truck buyers still keep choosing V8 engines over smaller turbocharged powertrains. In this week’s Truck News Recap, I dive into why reliability may matter more to truck owners than fuel economy numbers.I discuss comments from Jim Farley about continued V8 demand, despite Ford spending years promoting EcoBoost turbocharged engines as the future of trucks. I also break down the latest developments with the Toyota Tundra engine recall and why many owners are once again asking for the return of proven V8 power.We also look at Ram truck sales growth and the impact of bringing the Hemi V8 back into the lineup after customer backlash to the Hurricane inline-six engines. Plus, I revisit Ford’s original EcoBoost torture-test program from 2011 and why the debate over turbocharged engine durability still hasn’t gone away 15 years later.Finally, I examine whether rising fuel prices actually reduce truck sales and why many truck owners still prioritize towing capability, long-term durability, and engine reliability over MPG ratings.Let me know in the comments:Would you choose better fuel economy or a proven V8 engine for your next truck?Get your Screen ProTech screen protector:https://screenprotech.com/timJoin our Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/pickuptrucktalkSupport the show
