    The Tundra Engine Recall Is Confusing! Here's The Latest! | Ep. 334

    ( https://www.alltfl.com/ ) Check out our new spot to find ALL our content, from news to videos and our podcasts! In this episode of TFL Talkin' Trucks, Andre shares a huge personal update: he finally sold his beloved 2019 Toyota Tundra V8 on Facebook Marketplace. He pulls back the curtain on the bittersweet process of letting it go, dealing with online buyers, and why previous-generation V8 trucks are skyrocketing in value right now. It turns out the buyer was explicitly looking for an older model to avoid the highly publicized engine recalls plaguing the brand-new twin-turbo V6 Tundras. Andre and Kase dive into the confusion surrounding these recent factory recalls, explaining why a tiny fraction of affected trucks is causing such a massive headache for owners, and how Toyota is handling the fix. Beyond the Toyota drama, the guys break down major upcoming shakeups across the truck industry for the 2027 model year. First up is Ford, which is simplifying its heavy-duty Super Duty lineup by dropping its base engine options, making bigger, high-performance engines standard. Then, they drop a bombshell about Honda pausing production on the cult-favorite Ridgeline pickup to retool it with a next-generation hybrid system to meet stricter government emissions laws. Finally, they react to GMC's wild new "Hummer X" electric concepts, debating whether these smaller, blocky, modular midsize trucks are a preview of a highly anticipated off-road SUV revival or just an excuse to build a cabin that replaces every single physical button with a wall of screens.

In this episode of TFL Talkin' Trucks, Roman and Tommy give their completely unfiltered, unabridged review of what it is actually like to live, tow, and off-road with this rare, six-figure European rig. Built in France and heavily penalized by the US "chicken tax," their custom-spec Quartermaster crosses a staggering $101,000 price point—forcing a tough question: can it possibly compete with a built Ford F-250 Tremor or a pair of Ranger Raptors? Later in the episode, the guys head into the studio to break down some of their favorite local off-road trails on the Colorado Front Range using the OnX Offroad app. They share real-world trail reports, terrain details, and historical context for iconic trails like the historic Switzerland Trail, the steep climbs of Cliffhanger 2.0 (Knob Hill), the rocky terrain of Pennsylvania Gulch, and the somber, technical trek up to the 1965 T-33 military jet crash site on T-33A Plane Crash Trail.

    ( https://www.alltfl.com/ ) Check out our new spot to find ALL our content, from news to videos and our podcasts! In this episode of TFL Talkin' Trucks, Roman sits down with Andre to get the exclusive, boots-on-the-ground breakdown of his recent trip to Stellantis’ legendary Chelsea Proving Grounds. Ram is officially throwing their hat back into the high-performance street truck ring. Andre got access to walk around the entire new lineup, and he tells Roman exactly how these track-tuned rigs handle on the limit. The guys break down every single version, starting with the entry-level Rumble Bee packing the classic 395-horsepower, 5.7L Hemi V8, before moving up to the 6.4L Rumble Bee 392. After things heat up even further with the 392 Track Pack, and finally, Ram unleashes the crown jewel: the TRX-based Rumble Bee SRT, a 777-horsepower, 6.2L supercharged Hellcat monster.

    Offroad Truck Lovers - Buy These Pickups Before It’s Too Late! | Ep. 330

    ( https://www.alltfl.com/ ) Check out our new spot to find ALL our content! In this episode, Andre and Kase dive deep into the age-old debate: Does the "perfect" off-road truck actually exist, or is every great trail rig a massive compromise on the pavement? The catalyst for today’s discussion is the arrival of the Ineos Grenadier Quartermaster in the TFL test fleet. Andre recently took this old-school, solid-axle pickup on a 360-mile trek from Boulder to Moab for a massive gathering of nearly 200 Ineos vehicles. We break down how it handled the long highway miles versus nine hours of grueling technical trails in Utah. We also take a look at a wild project from our friend Jay Couch—a portal-axle equipped Grenadier on 37s—and discuss why portal axles might be the ultimate (if expensive) solution for ground clearance.

    ( https://www.alltfl.com/ ) Check out our new spot to find ALL our content! Live from the studio (and back from the sunny shores of LA), Nathan joins Andre to take a deep dive into the high-stakes world of the "Big Three." With truck revenue driving the entire industry, getting the 2027 models right isn't just about pride—it's about survival. From GM’s rumored V8 resurgence to Ford’s secret skunkworks projects, we’re looking at what’s coming to a dealer lot near you. We also take a trip down memory lane to the "Rebel Rouser" days in Vegas, discuss why Nathan wants to drive a slow military rig through Beverly Hills to spite G-Wagen owners, and tackle the "User Error" debate regarding modern tech. Are we losing the simplicity that made trucks great, or is the 777-hp future worth the complexity? ( http://www.patreon.com/tflcar ) Visit our Patreon page to support the TFL team!

    Ford Has HUGE Plans For The Next F-150, Super Duty, And Other Trucks! | Ep. 328

    ( https://www.alltfl.com/ ) Check out our new spot to find ALL our content, from news to videos and our podcasts! The future of Ford trucks is here, and it is more massive than we expected! In this episode of TFLtalkin' Trucks, Andre and Jen break down Ford’s bombshell "portfolio renewal" plan. By 2029, Ford is refreshing 80% of its North American lineup, including a brand-new universal electric platform (UAV) designed for an affordable $30,000 mid-sized truck. We dive into the cryptic renderings, discuss the next generation of the F-150 and Super Duty, and speculate on whether Ford’s bold new aerodynamic designs are a win or a "bulbous" mistake. The adventure continues as Andre shares the highlights from a 600-mile family road trip through Yellowstone. We discuss why the Chrysler Pacifica might actually be the ultimate tool for a seven-person national park expedition (29 MPG!) and recount the incredible "once-in-a-lifetime" moment where Andre's father captured a daytime meteor on camera during an eruption of Old Faithful. Plus, we welcome the Ineos Grenadier Quartermaster to the TFL studio for a long-term loan. From its BMW B58 heart to the quirky "Toot" button and aircraft-inspired cockpit, we analyze if this $100,000 French-built beast can truly take the fight to the Jeep Gladiator and the G-Wagon.

We dive into the "The Arc" business plan, which promises five new vehicle launches, and speculate on the cryptic silhouettes that look suspiciously like a return for the Nissan Titan. Is Nissan finally ready to take the fight back to the Bronco and Wrangler? We analyze the teaser images and what this means for the future of Japanese off-roaders in America. The truck news doesn't stop there. We discuss the debut of the Ram 1500 Pursuit and what the Hurricane engine means for law enforcement, plus Kia’s confirmed plans to bring a pickup truck to the U.S. market. Andre shares the wild story of how he almost walked away with a semi-truck, and Kase sits down for an exclusive interview with Dwayne from Volvo Trucks.
