Either way, I know big-engine enthusiasts will be disappointed. They've already begun disappearing from mainstream sedans, so it was only a matter of time before the trucks were next.

But hyperbole gets you clicks!

Indeed, two vehicle types that combine for millions of annual sales have both been declared dead today. Hyperbole much?

The V8 half-ton pickup is on life support. I think the only six-cylinder 3/4-ton and up pickup is the Cummins I6 used by MOPAR

It's also worth noting that, until 1955, Chevy only offered sixes in their trucks. Dodge's trucks were 6cyl only through 1953. The majority of Ford and Studebaker's trucks at that point were sixes, too.

So this isn't exactly unprecedented.

also, it's a bit of history repeating itself. for a long time, the most durable and reliable engine in the F-150 was the old 300 c.i. straight six.

Many products known for their quality are built in China. Biggest most obvious example is everything by Apple out of the Foxconn Shenzen facility. China's problem isn't the quality of the labor; it's the management. Manufacturing quality is all in how the factories are set up, designed and run, which is why Apple can…

Better?

Perhaps we need one of these?

Zac, I think you greatly misinterpreted the data:

I wouldn't buy a debadged car. debadging implies a 16 year old drove the car.

I miss some of the long-form, really-dig-into-the-material-or-new-experience pieces about something I didn't know that used to be published here. There's an incredible amount of reposting and Youtube videos that always start with the Buzzfeed'd "WATCH THIS THING DO A CRAZY THING YOU GUYS" and it seems a bit lazy in…
