First Drive: Kenworth’s new T880 vocational truck has a luxury feel sure to please both drivers and mechanics
Kenworth recently debuted its new flagship T880 vocational truck. The new truck, which replaces the venerable T800, went into production late last year. It is the result of a four year, $400-million effort by Kenworth. The company recently invited us out to the Seattle area to take a ride in the new units. I came […]

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. Driving the new F-150s around the San […]

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 […]

FIRST DRIVE: 2015 Ford Super Duty pickups pack powerful improvements over 2014 models
[imagebrowser id=38] Rolling hard into the throttle, driving 2015 Ford F-350, Ram 3500, and Chevy 3500HD Silverado duallies while towing 33-foot fifth wheel travel trailers tells a lot about a diesel pickup’s power, ride and handling. Put those same trucks/trailers on an interstate where nearly seven miles roll at greater than a 4-percent grade, with […]

REVIEW: 2015 GMC Sierra 2500HD Denali 4Ă—4 Crew Cab a luxury work truck that does everything well (PHOTOS)
[imagebrowser id=106] It has more power under the hood than most big rigs and an interior that’s as refined and quiet as many luxury sedans. Like a heavyweight kickboxer dressed out in a tux, the black 2015 GMC Sierra 2500HD Denali 4×4 looks stylishly strong with fierceness ready to be unleashed at a moment’s notice. That […]

REVIEW: 2014 Ford F-250 Roush CleanTech: Is this propane pickup worth the extra cash?
[imagebrowser id=70] It’s an odd feeling when you turn the ignition key and nothing happens. At first you think something is wrong. You wait. Silence. A couple of seconds pass and you hear a faint click. Then the sound of an electric fuel pump comes and goes. Then all is quiet again. You wait. Suddenly […]

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 […]
