It’s time for an outrageous pickup truck. We yawned at the most recent SEMA Show from the huge amount of lifted pickups with roll bars and lights.

Although the Toyota Tacoma and 4Runner aren’t built on the same platform, the truck and SUV do share a few things. They’re both body-on-frame, with V6s and a reputation for durability and reliability. That’s perhaps due in part to their shared ‘ancestor’, the Toyota Hilux. However, the Tacoma also shares one more thing with the …

We wonder if Nissan CEO Makoto Uchida wishes he hadn’t come to America for this. For the first time since becoming CEO on December 1, he came to America to get answers. He wanted, from nine of the top dealers in the US, a no-holds-barred view of what they think is wrong with Nissan. If …

Nature abhors a vacuum. You bought that truck to haul. You’re not making $600-a-month payments to have to rent something better for your …

Part of the Toyota Tacoma’s appeal is its old-school approach to pickup truck design. Its interior may have some flaws, but it has enough modern features, like Android Auto, to make it livable.
