About this episode
Truck news roundup with a focus on what’s coming next in the pickup and SUV world. Hyundai’s New York Auto Show tease previews a body-on-frame “Boulder” concept—37-inch tires, solid rear axle, modular tech, and rugged angles—hinting at a new midsize pickup before 2030. Ram and Fox Factory/Mopar are framed as market-testing for a future street-performance truck. Ford adds Platinum trim to Super Duty chassis cabs for 2027, boosting overlanding potential. The show also covers the returning Durango RT 392, rising destination fees, and a Jeep Grand Cherokee recall.
