| Most Reliable Heavy-Duty Trucks Ranked: Ford, GM or Ram? | 04 Aug 2026 | 00:15:41 | |
Which heavy-duty truck is the most reliable: Ford Super Duty, Chevrolet Silverado HD, GMC Sierra HD or Ram HD? Tim Esterdahl ranks today’s heavy-duty trucks using Pickup Truck + SUV Talk’s original reporting, NHTSA data, recalls, technical service bulletins and owner complaints. The Ford Super Duty claims the top spot despite its recall history and death-wobble complaints. The GM heavy-duty trucks follow closely, while valve-body concerns prevent them from finishing first. The redesigned Ram HD comes in last, largely because its Cummins and TorqueFlite HD powertrain is still too new to have an established long-term record. Do you agree with the rankings, and which heavy-duty truck has proved most reliable for you? Explore the PUTT Reliability Center: | |||
| Highlander Issues, Tow Hooks, and Rumble Bee Pricing | 31 Jul 2026 | 00:17:02 | |

Cory Fourniquet examines the Highlander’s loose second-row seats, airbag concerns, transmission whining, hybrid braking behavior, infotainment glitches and unusual fuel-tank readings. He also explains how owners can check their VIN for open recalls before buying or servicing a Highlander. Plus, this week’s Truck News Recap covers pricing for the new Ram Rumblebee lineup, including the first 6.4-liter HEMI offered in a Ram 1500 and the nearly $100,000, 777-horsepower Rumblebee SRT.

The 2027 Toyota Tundra has arrived, and viewers have two major questions: Did Toyota finally fix the twin-turbo V-6, and why isn’t the V-8 coming back? Tim Esterdahl examines Toyota’s engine recall solution, the sharp decline in reported failures among newer trucks and whether buyers should trust the Tundra again. He also covers the revised grille, persistent remote start, recovery hooks, the new Trailhunter package and lingering problems Toyota has not publicly addressed. Plus, this week’s Truck News Recap includes the most reliable full-size truck rankings, GMC Sierra 2500 HD known problems, the Cummins hydraulic-lifter controversy and new resources in the PUTT Reliability Center and Buyer’s Guide.

| EPA Rolls Back DEF Rules: What Actually Changed for Diesel Truck Owners | 14 Jul 2026 | 00:13:50 | |
The EPA has released its long-awaited proposal to revise the 2027 heavy-duty diesel emissions rules, but does it mean diesel owners can finally delete their trucks? In this episode, Tim Esterdahl breaks down what the proposal actually changes, including the plan to eliminate many DEF-related engine derates, reduce warranty requirements and delay some emissions durability standards. He also explains what didn't change, why DEF systems and emissions deletes remain a hot topic, and why many diesel enthusiasts may still be disappointed. If you've been following the diesel delete debate, this episode separates the headlines from the facts and explains what the EPA's proposal could mean for current and future diesel truck owners. | |||

| The Biggest Expansion in Pickup Truck Plus SUV Talk History | 01 Jul 2026 | 00:08:51 | |
After 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.com Check out Pickup Truck Plus SUV Talk: https://pickuptrucktalk.com | |||
| I'm Buying a 2027 Chevy Silverado, But GM Still Has to Answer These Questions | 26 Jun 2026 | 00:27:43 | |
GM 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.

| The Safest 2026 Pickup Truck Is Not What You Think | 19 Jun 2026 | 00:20:18 | |
Only two 2026 pickup trucks earned IIHS safety awards this year, and the top winner is probably not the truck most traditional buyers expected. The Tesla Cybertruck earned the only Top Safety Pick+ award, while the Toyota Tundra was the only pickup to earn Top Safety Pick. In this week’s Pickup Truck Talk news recap, Cory breaks down the latest IIHS truck safety results, where Ford, Chevy and Ram landed, and why the newest testing standards made the list so short. Also in the news: eight new SRT trucks and SUVs may be coming, Jeep could bring back the Scrambler with HEMI power, a Toyota Tundra engine teardown supports the manufacturing debris explanation, we grade our 2027 Chevy Silverado predictions, Ford teases a cheaper EV pickup, and we have a quick Father’s Day gift reminder for truck dads. #PickupTruckTalk #TruckNews #Cybertruck #ToyotaTundra #IIHS Get your Screen ProTech screen protector: Join our Patreon: | |||
| Why Truck Buyers Are Still Arguing About Hemi vs Hurricane 2 Years Later | Truck News Recap | 12 Jun 2026 | 00:13:44 | |
This 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:

| What Ford Didn't Tell You About Bronco Filson | 05 Jun 2026 | 00:12:56 | |
The 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 #SUVNews Get your Screen ProTech screen protector: Join our Patreon: | |||

| The Real Reason Toyota Tundra Engines Are Failing | 02 Jun 2026 | 00:14:04 | |
Toyota 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: The 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. | |||
| Ram Gave The Rumble Bee A “Pure” HEMI, But There’s A Catch | 22 May 2026 | 00:15:50 | |
The 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.

| 2027 Vehicle Kill Switches: What the Law Really Says | 19 May 2026 | 00:13:31 | |
Are new vehicles really getting mandatory government “kill switches” in 2027? That rumor has exploded online, especially among truck owners and automotive enthusiasts, but what does the law actually say? In this episode, we break down the facts behind the viral claims, where the confusion started, and how modern connected vehicle technology already works in many new trucks and SUVs. We also discuss driver monitoring systems, privacy concerns, remote vehicle controls and why many consumers are skeptical about where the auto industry is headed next. If you’ve seen headlines or social media posts claiming the government will be able to shut off your truck remotely, this episode explains what’s real, what’s exaggerated and what could still change in the future. Plus, we discuss how automakers are balancing safety technology, regulation and consumer trust as vehicles become more connected than ever before.

| Could the Toyota Tacoma Become American-Built Again? $2 Billion Filing Says Yes | 15 May 2026 | 00:15:36 | |
In this episode, Tim breaks down reports that Toyota could be considering a major shift in Tacoma production with a proposed $2 billion expansion at its Texas manufacturing plant. Could the Tacoma move back to the United States after Toyota shifted production to Mexico just a few years ago? Tim explains where the Tacoma is currently built, the history of Toyota truck manufacturing in Texas, and why tariffs, supply chain concerns and political pressure may be influencing the company’s future plans. The discussion also covers what a production move could mean for truck buyers, pricing, inventory and Toyota’s position against Ford, GM and Ram in the competitive midsize truck market. If you own a Tacoma, are shopping for a midsize truck or follow automotive manufacturing news, this episode breaks down why this story matters. Get your Screen ProTech screen protector: | |||
| Gas Prices Are High, Yet Ford CEO Admits Buyers Still Buying Reliable V8s | 08 May 2026 | 00:16:36 | |
Gas 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.
