The idea that the street truck scene is a shadow of its former self is incomprehensible to me. Off-road trucks are a ball, sure, but they’re less than comfortable on an everyday basis. It’s past time for a street truck renaissance; it just needs a hero to lead the way. […]

What the Hell Is This Old Chevy Tahoe Doing in the New Halo Trailer?
The second explanation is that I am totally wrong and that there is, in fact, still a Chevy GMT800 Tahoe kicking around 500 years from now and quite possibly on another planet. They’re that reliable. It means that once humans discovered space travel, someone somewhere was on their way to […]
A Turbo Honda K20 Powers This Chevy Colorado With 42-Inch Tires
The previous-generation Chevy Colorado isn’t the first truck off-roaders flock to when looking for a build platform. It’s a solid little pickup, for sure, but with other 4x4s so numerous and popular, it gets overshadowed. One Colorado with a unique parts list caught our eye, though, as along with the […]
The 2023 Toyota Sequoia Compared to the Chevy Tahoe and Ford Expedition
Say hello to the 2023 Toyota Sequoia, at last, an all-new SUV for the first time in over a decade. Based on the new, solidly performing Tundra pickup, the Sequoia is Toyota’s full-size, body-on-frame SUV—and it’s all very modern. A twin-turbo V6 hybrid is the only powertrain available, it’s riding […]
Chevy Silverado EV Reservations Will Open Right After Wednesday’s Reveal
General Motors might have decided against launching the Chevrolet Silverado EV in person at this week’s Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, but the launch is still very much happening virtually on Wednesday, Jan. 5. The Silverado EV is set to be the next electric truck that GM develops—following the […]
Chevy Bolt Battery Fiasco Costs GM Its EV Sales Lead Over Ford
General Motors may have been the first of Detroit’s Big Three to dive headlong into electric vehicles, but its exuberance has come at a price. Problems with LG Chem batteries in the Chevy Bolt EV have given them a propensity to overheat, causing fires that have forced GM to warranty […]
The GMC Hummer EV’s Max Tow Rating Is Lower Than the Chevy Colorado
No one’s buying a 1,000-horsepower GMC Hummer EV to tow construction equipment with—at least, not that I know of. Still, generally speaking, towing is an important task for any pickup. That’s what makes the Ultium battery-powered truck’s max tow capacity of 7,500 pounds so interesting, especially when you compare it […]
GM Almost Made a 6.2L V8-Powered Chevy Colorado Pickup
Cramming a V8 into a midsize truck or SUV is a surefire way to sell as many as you can build, especially if the V8 is one as renowned as Chevrolet’s 6.2-liter small block. We reportedly came within a few months of seeing one in a Chevy Colorado, as Australian […]
Single Cab Short Bed Chevy Silverado Returns to the US for 2022
It seems like everyone with an internet connection and a fondness for the good ol’ days wants more single cab short bed pickup trucks. Forget the crew cab; when it comes to trucks, the shorter, the better—depending on who you ask. There’s just one problem with that, though. You won’t […]
There’s a 650-HP, Chevy Silverado-Based Desert Runner Headed to SEMA
There’s plenty to see at Las Vegas’ SEMA show each year, including an entire convention center full of off-road builds ‘most any 4×4 shop could construct with enough time and money. What’s more intriguing to the little kid in all of us, though, is when an automaker throws an obscene […]
Life and Death in a Chevy Family
My Uncle Stuart died a few weeks ago. He was 70 years old and had been suffering from serious health issues, but not at a velocity that indicated we’d lose him that soon. It was, and will continue to be for some time, a shock. Stuart was my Mom’s older […]
