Should You Buy A Diesel or Gas Truck

When it comes to buying a truck, that statement holds true in more ways than one. Not only do you have a solid choice between gas and diesel engines, but both come with a wide range of trims, features, and technology packages designed to fit your needs. Choosing between a diesel or gasoline engine comes down to how your truck performs on the road to what you’ll spend on fuel and maintenance. The right option depends entirely on how you plan to use your truck—whether for heavy-duty work, weekend adventures, or everyday driving. The best part? There’s no wrong choice—just the one that works best for you.

Getting Yourself Into A Tight Jam!

Remember gripping the steering wheel with sweaty palms during your driver’s test, trying to pull off the perfect parallel park? You weren’t alone — it’s been one of the most dreaded parts of the test for decades. And now, with so many cars that can park themselves, you might be thinking: do I even need to know how to do that anymore? Fair question. But here’s the truth: even in a world of smart sensors and auto-assist features, knowing how to parallel park is still a skill that matters — a lot.

The Secret Life of a Crash Test Dummy

We’ve all seen the commercials featuring celebrities — the dramatic voiceovers, the cinematic car stunts, and the promises of cutting-edge safety. But behind the star power is a different kind of performer: the crash test dummy. These silent figures have been at the center of automotive safety for decades — not just in labs, but in ad campaigns, public service announcements, and even pop culture. In a way, they’re the movie stars of car safety, taking the hits so we don’t have to. But there's more to their role than dramatic slow-motion crashes. Every test they endure helps engineers improve design, inform safety ratings, and ultimately save real lives on real roads.

Sometimes Things Weren't Meant To Be

Sometimes, the best features in a car or truck aren’t part of some master plan. They show up as afterthoughts, niche experiments, or even happy accidents. But once drivers get a taste, these features become absolute must-haves. Here’s a look at some of the most surprising success stories in automotive design—features that weren’t supposed to matter but ended up changing the way we drive.

Is Your Car Stuck In Garage Mode

If you’ve found yourself driving less lately—maybe because you work from home, have a second car, or just don’t rack up many miles—it’s easy to think your vehicle doesn’t need as much maintenance. But that assumption can lead to some expensive surprises. Even when your car isn’t being driven regularly, things like oil, rubber, and fluids continue to break down with time. Batteries lose charge. Brakes can develop rust. And problems can sneak up just when you’re ready to go. This guide covers the key maintenance your vehicle still needs—even if the odometer is barely moving.

The Goldilocks Guide to Buying a Used Truck

Buying a truck isn’t just about picking a make or model — it’s about finding the right balance. On one end are vintage classics that are prized by collectors — vehicles that are more about nostalgia and rarity than everyday practicality. On the other end are brand-new models with the latest features, sleek design, and hefty price tags to match. Go too old, and you might be paying a premium for something better suited for a car show than a job site. Go too new, and you are paying extra for features that showed up just a few years earlier. That’s why more buyers are looking to the middle — trucks that are just a few years old. These offer modern design, proven reliability, and far better value than either extreme. Not too old, not too new — just right.

Used Car Dealers vs. Classifieds What You Should

If you're shopping for a used car, chances are you've looked at both dealership websites and online classifieds. While private listings can sometimes offer lower prices, there are a few important things to think about before making a decision — especially when you're dealing with something as important (and expensive) as a vehicle. Let’s walk through a few key differences that can help you feel confident about where you buy your next car.

They Say Hindsight is 2020

They say hindsight is 20/20 — and when it comes to cars, some decisions are crystal clear... after the fact. Here are a few real-world examples that prove it:

The Radio Playlist Your Car Wants You to Hear

You’re running late. Coffee in hand, keys in the ignition. You turn the key... It hesitates... coughs once… then finally roars (well, groans) to life. And for some reason, that classic riff from The Rolling Stones' “Start Me Up” comes on — like your car is trying to hype itself up right along with you. You tell yourself, “See? Still got it.” Never mind the flickering check engine light or that mystery rattle under the hood. It started. You're moving. That's good enough... for now.

Not A Filmmaker No Problem We Buy Cars!

If you've been on the internet lately, you might have come across a hilariously over-the-top car commercial that's been making rounds. It's a high-end, cinematic masterpiece... for a not-so-high-end car. The filmmaker behind this viral sensation really went all out to showcase his girlfriend's 'crappy used car'. Now, while we can't all have a professional filmmaker in our lives to make our used cars look like the star of a blockbuster movie, there's still hope!
