REVIEW: 2015 Ram 1500 EcoDiesel Tradesman achieves work truck nirvana with comfort, unbelievable fuel economy
Call it plain vanilla. Call it a stripper. Call it bare-bones. It’s all of those. One thing the 2015 Ram 1500 Regular Cab EcoDiesel isn’t, though, is wimpy. The truck I recently spent a few days driving the city streets, interstates and mountain roads around Phoenix, Arizona and Laughlin, Nevada is the epitome of bland. […]

REVIEW: Keen Destin a steel-toed work shoe with skater traction and styling that’s perfect for mechanics
[imagebrowser id=195] My shoes have taken a beating since I moved into the shop full time. I’ve pretty much always worn skater shoes, which are comfortable and designed to withstand abrasion and hold up under some pretty tough conditions. They worked fine for residential construction, but they don’t offer toe protection against rolling vehicle components […]

FIRST DRIVE: 2015 Ford F-150’s lighter aluminum body makes a heavy first impression
This is a leap year for Ford trucks. Not in the Gregorian calendar sense, but rather in the technological realm. With the official introduction of the 2015 F-150 and its truckload of advancements, Ford has literally jumped at least a year ahead of its full-size competitors. Maybe more.

REVIEW: 2015 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD bi-fuel a case study in CNG vs. gas (PHOTOS)
[imagebrowser id=74] A whoosh, like connecting an air hose to a compressor, is the only thing that lets me know I’m in business filling the bed-mounted fuel tank in the 2015 Chevy Silverado bi-fuel CNG 4×4 I’m driving. Moments after turning on the pump, the digital readout on the dispenser rapidly clicks off the gallons […]

REVIEW: The 2014 Ram 1500 EcoDiesel’s V-6 delivers major fuel efficiency with the feel of a V-8
Slipping around a slow-moving motorhome on a moderate grade in Oregon’s Coast Range took little more than moving into the passing lane and rolling into the throttle. The Ram 1500’s engine did the rest in short order. Despite towing a 4,000-pound enclosed trailer, the pass was made without any drama. No, it wasn’t a 5.7-liter […]

REVIEW: Mack Titan is a beast of a truck with tremendous handling
If you went into a lab and boiled down everything Mack trucks has learned and experienced over the past 114 years to its purest essence—every battlefield Macks have fought on, every jobsite, every bridge, dam and highway they’ve helped build, you’d probably come away with a truck very close to the 2014 Mack Titan.

REVIEW: 2014 Toyota Tundra Crew Max Platinum Edition
Legroom is one of those esoteric terms that most of us in the world of work trucks rarely think about. That is until it comes time to be the one who ends up riding in the backseat of most crew cab pickups. Having one’s knees embedded in the seat back of the person sitting in […]
