    We have more details about the 2021-2024 GM 6.2L V8 engine recall. GM communicated the root cause and the potential solutions to this engine failure problem. Let’s dig in!GM specified that the company opened and closed three separate investigations that were related to 6.2L V8 engine failures. These investigations were held in February 2022, June 2023, and July 2024. Now, this newest investigation has led the company to issue a stop-sale and a recall for vehicles with this engine (L87 6.2L V8).

    The newly redesigned 2025 Ford Expedition is very important for Ford as it goes up against the best-selling Chevrolet Tahoe and Suburban. Does this new Expedition do enough to beat the competition? I take a detailed look this Expedition MAX Active trim. This is the new base trim of the 2025 Expedition. Let’s dig in!The updated 2025 Expedition is about the same size as before. It’s a large truck-based, three-row SUV with a capacity to sit up to eight people.

    Take a look. It appears to be a production 2026 Kia Tasman 4X midsize truck. That’s not that interesting at first because the Kia Tasman has made its world debut in South Korea and other regions. What catches attention is that it’s a standard U.S. car carrier semi truck that is going south on I-95 in Florida. What’s going on? Kia Tasman is not supposed to be sold in the United States. Let’s dig in!These images come to us courtesy of Trevor Campos. Thank you Trevor. Here is what Trevor has to say.

    Project “Bachelor Pad” is in full swing! I recently picked up this 1976 Ford F-600 4×4 at an auction for $3,000. How good is it? Let’s see what Mr Truck and David have to say about this. The guys drive the truck all over our TFL Tumbleweed Ranch and we see how it does going up and down the onX Off-road Andre’s Pit. Let’s go!The “Fast Loaf” project from last year is nearly done. It’s a 1991 UAZ 452 4WD “Buhanka” van. The Fast Loaf project name refers to its engine swap.

@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!

@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!
