    A gentler tap - IIHS suggests car bumper standards for light trucks
    2008-07-02 16:30:00
    It's not a surprise that the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) would be backing a proposal that has the potential to lower the amount of damage vehicles sustain in crashes, and therefore lead to less costly repairs for insurers. What is surprising is the NHTSA's stubborn attitude about accepting outside suggestions. The proposal is simple enough; the IIHS recommends that trucks and cars use the same bumper standards for greater crash compatibility. Being cynical and following the money does lead one back to the fact that such a change would save the insurance industry a large sum, but so what? Saving the insurance industry money saves us poor saps a few nickels, too – or the rates continue to be just as expensive while the corporate robber barons pocket the increased profits.NHTSA has heard this argument before, rejecting petitions for porting the car bumper standard to light trucks in both 1984 and 1991. The IIHS is hoping that this time around, the fact that it's an or

    What would you call this thing? A Prelude SUC*? A Preludamino? A Prelude Brat? A Ridgelude? The seller, for his part, bills it as a "Cruck." With the careful adaptation of a Datsun Pickup liftgate, this cut and restyled 1989 Prelude Si was possibly a prelude to the atrocity wonder that would eventually be known as the Honda Ridgeline. It is said to feature a four-cylinder with an automatic, and able to get 38 mpg. Thank goodness it "was built under professional supervision of experienced body technicians," as we'd hate to think that any average schmo cut and pasted this Prelude. The work must be halfway decent, as it serves as daily transport for the seller and still features such luxuries as "power windows, sunroof, heat and a/c, cd player, power steering and functional tailgate." As it sits it's a fitting testament to ingenuity and another answer to a question nobody asked. Only $2,500 though. Thanks for the tip, Tom! * Sports Utility Car [Source: craigslist]

    GM jacks up incentives on trucks and SUVs
    2008-06-11 10:35:00
    We've been waiting for General Motors to step up to the plate with its own incentives now that Ford has offered employee pricing on its F-Series trucks and Dodge has offered $2.99 fuel to go along with its various incentives for the Ram. It seems that GM has finally anted up and increased the incentives for the Silverado, Avalanche and Sierra trucks, along with the Tahoe, Yukon, Escalade and Suburban. The pickups all get $2,000 in customer cash to go along with an extra $3,000 if you already own a GM product for a total of $5,000 total off the sticker price. Those shopping for an SUV will even get an extra grand. In what may be an even larger sign of the times, for the first time ever GM's hybrid Tahoe and Yukon get $4,000 off, but only if you already own a product from the General.If you want to get in on the savings and don't mind guzzling some gas, you have until June 7 to make it to your nearest Chevrolet or GMC dealer. No rush, we doubt there'll be a line.[Source: Bloomberg]

    Ford to make less vehicles in 2008: more cars, fewer trucks
    2008-05-24 08:02:00
    Ford issued a press release this morning detailing its plans for the remainder of 2008, and considering the current price of gasoline, weak U.S. economy and rising cost of raw materials, the changes are exactly what you'd expect. Ford will now be producing 690,000 vehicles during the remainder of this year's second quarter, down 20,000 units from its previous estimate and 15% below its total for Q2 2007. Production levels in Q3 will fall to between 510-540,000 units in Q3 2008 (down 15-20% from Q3 2007) and between 590-630,000 units in Q4 2008 (down 2-8% from Q4 2007).Though it will be producing fewer units overall, Ford will increase production of hot-selling cars and CUVs like the Focus, Edge and Escape, Mercury Milan and Mariner, and Lincoln MKZ and MKX. Production of trucks and SUVs, however, will drop sharply because potential customers are walking away from these relative gas-guzzlers in droves. Since those models typically earned big profits for Ford, the Blue Oval revised the t

    Ford recalling 605,000 full-size trucks
    2008-05-15 21:28:00
    Ford Motor Company is recalling a whole herd of trucks to see the team doctors over concerns about a hose in the braking system that could adversely effect the vehicles' braking power. According to the NHTSA, about 605,000 2005 and 2006 model year Ford F150 and Lincoln Mark LT trucks equipped with the 3-valve 5.4-liter V8 will receive a hose replacement free of charge. The problem hose supplies the brake booster with engine vacuum, and could swell over time and eventually become disconnected. While the hydraulic braking system will function without the power assist, pedal effort will be significantly increased, and if drivers are taken off-guard by the problem an accident could occur. Ford will start notifying owners in June, and the recall campaign will kick off in July. According to FoMoCo, there have been 11 minor accidents related to the issue. Check out more details from the NHTSA after the jump.[Source: Detroit Free Press]

    GM may divorce trucks and full-size SUVs
    2008-05-11 09:18:00
    When the current GMT900 SUVs hit the market in 2006, gas prices were already near $3.00 per gallon, but the super-sized transports sold in prodigious numbers anyway. The reasoning from the General and its customers was that there were still people with big boats or trailers to tow, and unibody CUVs just aren't up to the task. In the two years that followed, gas prices have gone from pesky to pandemic, and buyers are leaving their body-on-frame SUVs by the thousands.The General isn't blind to the trend, and a report from Bloomberg says that GM may be ready to take the drastic step of separating the platforms of its trucks and full-size SUVs by 2012. The move is extreme because SUVs and trucks have saved development time and money by sharing a platform for many decades, but with such a dramatic shift away from the handy but fuel-thirsty rigs, GM has little choice but to think of alternatives. A unibody Tahoe or Escalade wouldn't be able to tow quite like its predecessor, but they would b

    Mad about Monster Trucks??? so here they go!!!
    2008-04-06 05:17:33
    A monster truck and is an automobile, typically styled after pickup trucks, modified or purposely built with extremely large wheelssuspension. They are used for competition and popular Sports Entertainment and in some cases they are featured alongside Motocross races, mud bogging, tractor pulls and car-eating robots. Typically, a monster truck show involves the truck crushing smaller vehicles beneath its huge tires. These trucks can run up and over most man-made barriers, so they are equipped with remote shut-off switches, called the Remote Ignition Interuptor (RII), to help prevent an accident if the driver losescontrol at any time. At some events, only one truck is on the course at a time, while most feature two drivers racing each other on symmetrical tracks, with the losing driver eliminated in single-elimination tournament fashion. In recent years, many monster truck competitions have ended with a "freestyle" event. Somewhat akin to figure skating with giant trucks, drivers are f

    A Look at the Different Body Kits Trucks Use By Muna Wa Wanjiru
    2008-04-04 19:40:33
    When the word truck is uttered there are some images that can flash into your mind. One image is that of the container trucks that transport goods from one place to another. Another image that flashes into people’s minds is that of their trusty pickup truck. On the other hand the word truck might show you a picture of a monster truck as it plows through and over other vehicles at car shows. While these are all great images there is another image to think about. This image involves the body kits trucks use.Now you are probably asking what image could trucks get with the use of a body kit? Well this image will depend largely on the type of kit and parts you use. The addition of a great and unique paint job will enhance the look you are trying to promote to your truck with the use of a body kit.So where should you start with using body kits trucks will look great in.

    A world without trucks
    2008-03-30 11:13:59
    My brother-in-law is a truck driver, and I don't think there's ever a truck accident anywhere that I don't think of him and wonder where he is.A terrible tanker truck accident on Route 91 in Chicopee, MAon Friday morning claimed the life of New Hampshire driver Aaron Staelens. The accident wasn't his fault-- in fact, my sister thinks if he had swerved left instead of right, the truck might not have hit a guard rail and exploded. But swerving left would have brought him into the line of more traffic, where more people's lives would have been at risk. Most truck drivers have that instinct-- to avoid passenger cars even when it puts the driver in more danger.Truck drivers have a difficult life and with the rising cost of diesel fuel, jobs are at risk, especially for independent truckers. There's discussion of a truckers' strike early in April, though what that might accomplish is unclear.What is the future of trucking? Some European countries are re-examining the idea of transportin

    Caterpillar 797~~1 Of The largest Trucks ever built!!!
    2008-03-30 10:22:40
    The Caterpillar 797 is the largest truck ever. But unless you work in a mine, you're probably never going to see one. That's a shame, because this is the real thing: a vehicle that's authentically awesome. Not awesome in a jokey monster truck sort of way, and not a goof like a pickup built on a Kenworth chassis, but a big, serious machine built for an epic, real-world task. Mining may well be the opposite of show business, but this truck has star power to spare. As we approach the two prototype 797s in the yard of Caterpillar's Arizona training facility, their scale seems otherworldly. They stand 23 feet 9 inches tall when the dump bodies are down, and 49 feet 3 inches when they're tilted up, which means they dwarf the 240-ton 793C that used to be Cat's biggest truck. Nose the front end of one up to an NBA backboard, and the rear will stick out eight inches past half-court (that's 47 feet 8 inches). At 30 feet wide, park the left side even with that basket and the right side will be e

    Tough Guys Love Chevy TrucksBy Bernabe AlmirolChevy brandished its trucks under the marketing tag 'A Legacy Built on Dependability'. For the 2008 model year, three distinctly outstanding models were introduced in the market. Silverado, Avalanche and Colorado are simply the best in their own class.Tough guys want their trucks to be durable enough to stand the country dirt roads. Silverado's rock-solid body is a favorite choice. Owners bragged that this truck model can outlive them and would even fit as their son's inheritance. Power and driving comfort adds up to the excellent features of this Chevy truck. Silverado's extremely powerful 6.6L V8 Turbo diesel engine matched with a six-speed automatic transmission can hurdle long dirt road and highway trips with ease. Its versatile passenger cab with a rear door capable of opening at 170-degrees takes care of easy cargo handling.For guys who love sporty vehicles but still prefers the power and carrying capacity of a truck, the Avalanche is

    Jim Press: Chrysler sees market for “very small” pickup trucks
    2008-01-28 11:00:40
    Jim Press: Chrysler sees market for "very small" pickup trucks With rising fuel prices and growing environmental concerns, most automakers are beginning to offer more compact cars, smaller engines, and crossover SUVs that are more like wagons and less like trucks. One segment that hasn't seen too much downsizing so far is the pickup truck market. But that might be about to change, says Chrysler's Jim Press. Earlier this month at a roundtable meeting with journalists, Mr. Press said he sees an emerging market for "very small, very fuel efficient" pickups, according to PickupTruck.com. Press joined Chrysler in September 2007, after working for 37 years at Toyota. His former employer used the Detroit auto show this year to roll out the small A-BAT concept truck, while American automakers were busy launching their largest trucks — the 2009 Dodge Ram and 2009 Ford F-150. In recent years, we can think of only one compact pickup from a Chrysler brand — the Dodge M80 Concept (pictured). If Mr. Press gets his way, might we see a vehicle like this produced in the coming years? With Generals Motors expected to reveal a car-based GMC pickup concept early next month and an El Camino-like Pontiac model in March, we think Mr. Press is probably on to something.

    Pai Klai Klai, "Hello Bangkok" trucks~!!

    As a longtime Sukhumvit resident, I like to consider myself as pretty tolerant and adaptable. I take traffic in stride. I can feign ignorance and bliss when a fat, sweaty, hairy farang beside me is stinkin' up the whole BTS car. And yes, I CAN sit sidesaddle on the back of a motorcycle in tight skirt and high heels while counting loose change/sending SMS/applying lipstick~!!But the arrival of the intrusive, noisy, mightily annoying "Hello Bangkok" advertising trucks with HUUUGE-ass TV screens mounted on the back is reeeeally testing my patience (and the decibel limit of my eardrums... PLUS giving me premature wrinkles).I first encountered these intolerable vehicles one morning a few weeks ago while in a TAXI. Since then, I've been regularly bothered, attacked and molested on Sukhumvit Road by these monstrous things blasting various ads and yappy small talks which I'm sure add absolutely NOTHING to the well-being and happiness (not to mention health) of the good people of Sukhumvit.I..

    2007-12-12 14:55:00
    I just stumbled across this cool page with a map and description of 10 New York Food Trucks. It is not even close to a complete list but still very useful since several trucks are totally forgettable. The one I can't believe they left out is The Halal TruckThe Halal Truck. It is uber famous in NYC (as you can see from the 102 Yelp reviews) as the after-clubbing truck. There is an amazingly long line but it moves pretty quickly.

    JEEPS-MONEY-TOW TRUCKS= POVERTY, NOT SECURITY
    2007-10-20 09:48:00
    Well, it happened... for the second time in 64 years, I had to call a tow truck !Actually, the "first" time was a AAA deal, that cost me nothing ... yesterday was a hundred bucks !!Intermittent problems on vehicles are hard to diagnose (actually they are the hardest), if something simply "breaks"...it is easy to locate, -then to also repair the "cause", and you are done (with confidence).An intermittent or random problem firstly has to be "identified" in order to not keep causing "indeterminate" failure modes. I have seen some really errant and disguised (goofy) things occur with machinery and electrics over the years, but, that does not allow you to ever "accept" their presence, or cope with the failure.Add-in the complexity and unforgiving designs of today's autos, and you are actually "set up" for disaster. surely the guy who laid out the ignition systemics on 1967 and later Jeeps also owns controlling amounts of stock in AAA (which should be prosecuted as a conflict of interest
