In this episode of TFL Talkin’ Trucks, Kase and Andre break down the truck tech and trends they’re thankful for, from a multitude of engine choices to the incredible capability that modern trucks offer. They highlight the innovations that make trucks easier, safer, and more enjoyable to use — the stuff that actually matters to real truck owners.Then they dive into the tech and trends they can’t stand, including lots of recalls, pointless gimmicks, and design decisions that make trucks worse, not better. It’s an honest look at where truck technology is headed, what deserves applause, and what needs to hit the road.( http://www.patreon.com/tflcar )  Visit our Patreon page to support the TFL team!Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy"},"annotations":[{"startTime":255.0,"endTime":260.0,"type":"term","title":"slate truck","url":"/glossary/slate-truck","quote":"We try to spend a little bit more time with the slate truck, which is always interesting","canonicalId":"term:slate-truck","priority":0.5,"confidence":0.9,"source":"openai/gpt-oss-20b","data":{"explanation":"A \"slate truck\" refers to a pickup truck that has been stripped of its original paint and trim, giving it a clean, unfinished look.
