Reviews SummaryThe fourth-gen Tacoma is also the first Tacoma to share a platform with the larger Toyota Tundra. (The TNGA-F platform also underpins the Sequoia and the just-revived Land Cruiser.) It launches in six trim levels, each powered by a turbocharged four-cylinder engine, and the Tacoma's first-ever hybrid powertrain is due in the spring of 2024, along with two additional trims. We traveled to Malibu, CA to drive the all-new Tacoma in all of its gas-only guises. | |
Reviews SummaryRam HD trucks, such as the 2500 and the 3500, may be expensive, but they're invaluable to the owners who need their immense durability. There’s a Ram truck to match the needs of every heavy duty truck buyer, from off-roaders to camping enthusiasts and those who make their living hauling loads across the country. Verdict: The latest Ram 2500 represents a meaningful upgrade to one of America’s most capable trucks, continuing to impress with ever-increasing levels of luxury and refinement. And did we mention its 1,075 pound-feet of torque? | |
