The 2025 GMC Acadia Denali is completely refreshed with new looks, interior, technology and a new powertrain.

1 week ago | pickuptrucktalk.com | Jill Ciminillo

Jeep discontinued the petite Cherokee after the 2023 model year due to declining sales and a focus on higher-priced models like the Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer. However, after a regime change and the threat of Trump tariffs, more affordable cars are gearing up to make a comeback.

An open letter to automakers re. wireless phone chargers

1 week ago | pickuptrucktalk.com | Jill Ciminillo

Dear (Insert: Ford, Hyundai, Jeep, Kia, Mazda, Ram, etc., or anyone else installing wireless phone chargers):Please stop. Your wireless phone chargers don’t work, and the expense of adding them to your vehicles when they don’t work is not appreciated. Especially in this time when everything costs extra. If you need to cut costs and features to keep up with tariffs, this is a great place to start. Of course, I should issue a caveat.

Ending EV tax credit is risky business and national security threat

2 weeks ago | pickuptrucktalk.com | Tim Esterdahl

I hate the EV tax credit. It is unfairly propping up an entire industry and I’d love nothing more than to see the credit go away. If it goes away, it would also cost taxpayers trillions of dollars and cause a national security crisis. The proverbial double-edged sword.
