    Special Looks, Plenty of TechThe 2026 Explorer Tremor gets a unique interior with embroidered Tremor logo seats, faux-suede upholstery, rubber floormats and unique gold stitching throughout, just like in other Tremors in the Ford showroom. It’s also packed with tech that Ford introduced for the 2025 Explorer, such as BlueCruise 1.5, the latest version of Ford’s hands-free highway cruise control with automatic lane change functions.

    Also new for the 2025 Taos is a standard 8-inch touchscreen across all trims, and it’s still running VW’s problematic multimedia system. It’s not the latest multimedia tech we’ve seen from VW, and that’s honestly a good thing — the newer systems VW has trotted out have been deal killers for a lot of people thanks to clunky functionality, difficult-to-use controls and difficult-to-find features.

    For the 2025 model year, GMC gave its compact Terrain SUV a comprehensive update. Bigger and more spacious inside, with new looks and technology, it’s part of a thorough showroom refresh alongside the larger Acadia three-row SUV and is meant to be a more premium offering than the mechanically identical but less expensive Chevrolet Equinox.

    While the Maverick Lobo comes as a separate trim level, the F-150 Lobo will be an option package on the lower-level F-150 STX SuperCrew trim with the 5.5-foot bed. Also unlike the Maverick Lobo, the F-150 Lobo doesn’t get a unique interior or even any special seat embroidery. It’s just a stock black STX cloth interior in there, which feels rather boring. But like the performance-upgrade potential, Ford insists that this is a starting point for enthusiasts to modify their trucks to suit their needs.

    First is the materials quality, which would be questionable in a budget-brand vehicle but is absolutely unacceptable in a luxury marque. Your average Hyundai has a higher-quality interior than what I found in this expensive luxury SUV. All of the plastic trim, all of it, feels cheap, thin and hollow. BMW’s clear plastic “crystal-like” trim is present, and it changes color with ambient lighting changes, but it still looks like chintzy plastic.

Beginning to think that something is wrong with all of @Delta’s #A321 aircraft. This is the third one I’ve been on in the last month where Comfort Plus is a freakin sauna, but the rest of the plane is fine. #openawindow

The front half of @Delta Flight 401 is fucking sweltering and the FA tells us all that it’s “a design flaw of the aircraft,” which is bullshit. I’ve flown 737-900ERs I dunno how many times over the years. This plane is broken. Get mechanics on it before it leaves DTW next.
