Chevrolet has detailed the engine line-up for the 2019 Silverado 1500 truck, and there's an unusual new 2.7-liter Turbo four-cylinder lurking among the V6 and V8 options. Set to hit dealerships sometime in Q3 2018, the new Silverado will eventually be offered with six different engines, though the diesel isn't expected until early next year.
It's a tough life being a truck. You might make your shiny debut on-stage a glitzy car show, but then you get promptly thrown into the mud and are expected to prove your worth. In the case of the 2019 Ford Ranger, there's an even bigger expectation: living up to your bigger brother.
The 2019 Ram 1500 is giving Fiat Chrysler a painful reminder that Tesla isn't the only automaker facing production delays, with the hotly-anticipated pickup failing to roll off the line at the rate hoped for. Revealed at the Detroit Auto Show 2018 in January, the new Ram 1500 borrowed a Model S-like huge touchscreen dashboard from Tesla, among other things, but unfortunately picked up its manufacturing headaches along the way.
Diesel engines may have suffered a setback in passenger cars over the past couple of years, but their torque and economy makes them perfect for pickups like the 2018 Ford F-150 Power Stroke Diesel. Ford's plans to put a diesel under the hood of America's best-selling vehicle were announced some time ago, but now we're finding out just how frugal it can be. Here's what you need to know.
Ford has recalled nearly 350,000 of its most popular vehicles, after discovering a fault that could see the pickups and SUVs roll away - even if they've been put in park. The transmission problem affects Ford's F-150 truck and the Expedition SUV, two of its strongest sellers, with the recalls affecting not only the US but Canada and Mexico.
Ford and Chevrolet need to watch out. Volkswagen hasn't just made a compelling pickup in the VW Atlas Tanoak, it's demonstrated that - should it decide to give its utility the green-light - domestic automakers in the US would be right to be apprehensive.
GMC has revealed its latest pickup, the 2019 Sierra AT4, a new trim that aims to combine off-road ability with lashings of tech you wouldn't typically find in a truck. Making its debut at the New York International Auto Show 2018 this week, the new model is only the first of GMC's vehicles to bear the AT4 brand. That, the automaker says, will proliferate across every model within the next two years.
Volkswagen may have been focusing on big SUVs and umpteen EV iterations recently, the automaker is tipped to have a pickup secret in the wings for New York this week. VW's big reveal at the New York International Auto Show 2018 was expected to be the five-seat Atlas, a smaller version of its US-centric SUV. However, there might be a bigger surprise.
If there's one thing Jeep owners love, it's customizing their trucks, and so the automaker has teamed up with Mopar to provide seven concept inspirations for the 52nd Annual Moab Easter Jeep Safari. The seven customs won't, sadly, be up for sale as you see them here: Mopar says it has used a mixture of production parts and new prototypes for the Jeep fleet.
When it comes to cutting-edge truck tech, you might not expect GMC to point you to the rear of the new 2019 Sierra 1500. All the same, that's where some of the fresh pickup's most impressive talents lie, in the clever MultiPro Tailgate. While it might seem a strange thing to get excited about, that's only until you figure out just how this tailgate-inception works.
GMC put a tailgate in its new pickup's tailgate, and if that doesn't make the 2019 Sierra 1500 Denali sufficiently meta than we're not sure what will. The completely revamped new truck is the fanciest of GMC's pickups, and that makes it the starting point for some of the automaker's newest features.
Trucks may have gone mainstream, but if you're of the mind that a pickup should be pure toughness then the new 2019 Ram 1500 Lone Star might just fit the bill. Revealed, fittingly, at the Dallas Auto Show today, the new "Texas Truck" is just the latest iteration of what's become Ram's best-selling truck in the state.
