This week in Truck News Recap, I'm talking about something I never expected: a two-year-old Ram Hurricane engine interview just helped drive the biggest traffic day in Pickup Truck Talk history.

Why are truck buyers still arguing about the Hemi V8 versus the Hurricane inline-six? Was Ram right to replace the Hemi? Were buyers right to demand its return? And what does it say about the future of trucks?

Plus, we cover the latest truck news, recalls, reliability stories and what's coming next on the channel.

What do you think? Was Ram right to replace the Hemi with the Hurricane, or should the V8 have never left in the first place?

I swapped the factory Goodyear Wrangler Territory AT tires on my 2024 Ford Ranger for a set of Kumho Road Venture tires and after thousands of miles, it's time to see whether the change was worth it.

In this video, I compare tread wear, ride quality, road noise, fuel economy and overall appearance. I also brought along a tire expert to help explain the differences between the two tire sizes and what happens when you move from a 255-series tire to a wider and taller 265-series tire.

The result surprised me.

If you're considering new tires for your Ford Ranger, Toyota Tacoma, Chevy Colorado, GMC Canyon or any midsize truck, this video should help you decide whether a larger all-terrain tire is worth the tradeoffs.
