How is my 2019 Toyota Tundra V8 truck doing as it approaches 90,000 miles? Here is my long-term update. I purchased this truck from Dallas, TX about eight months ago. This is the first Toyota pickup truck that I have personally owned. As part of my job, I have driven, tested, and reviewed every new pickup truck over the last 12 years. Here is how this Tundra stacks up, and here are some of the changes I made to it. I love the looks of this truck.

It’s time to put this new 2025 Ford F-250 Power Stroke V8 turbo-diesel to the ultimate world’s toughest towing test – the Ike GauntletTM. This time we are pulling a large gooseneck equipment trailer with our “General Giant” bobbed deuce-and-a-half military truck on top. This F-250 is maxed on payload and towing capacity. Let’s see how it does!Big thanks to Weigh Safe hitches and Silver Spur Trailers for making video possible. This F-250 is a unique configuration.

Here is the first drive of the first-ever 2026 GMC Sierra EV AT4 off-road pickup truck. GMC is expanding the Sierra EV lineup of truck with the addition of an Elevation and this AT4 models. GMC invited us to Michigan to try out the new electrified AT4 truck on the highways, roads, and off-road treks. Here’s what happened. The Sierra EV AT4 rides on a steel coil spring suspension (no air bags). It’s about two inches higher than other Sierra EV trucks.

We hope the 2024 Gladiator gets some updates.

@asmirnov12 @TFLtruck Awesome job with the RAM REV/Jeep Wrangler updates today! Just wondering though, will the changes to the 2024 Wrangler be coming to the 2024 Gladiator as well? Thanks and keep up the great work!

We hope to do some more with older trucks soon.

@asmirnov12 I’m looking into buying a older diesel, thinking lmm duramax , any chance of doing the ike with some older truck n how they compare to newer half tons @TFLtruck #bestshow

Thank you for watching.
@asmirnov12 just saw the recent snow tire test, great job! I was thinking I'd like to see a similar test with a Silverado. Run it 2wd, with 4wd Auto, 4H and 4L. I'd be interested what the acceleration and breaking results would be in snow. Thanks!
