In much of the U.S., if you want to build a lift kit for your truck out of rusty junkyard parts, you can. But in Australia, things are different. The country has strict rules on vehicle modifications, and now police are seizing jacked-up trucks and fining drivers as part of “Operation Lift,” Australia’s 7 News Gold…

The question Ram and its customers have likely been asking since the mild-hybrid 2019 Ram 1500 debuted at the 2018 Detroit Auto Show is “Is the hybrid system worth the cost, weight, and complexity?” Now, with official EPA numbers in, part of that answer is here, because the electrified truck scores 3 mpg better than…

Yet neither hobbits nor folk rap stars swear that much, so I figured Kiwis were the PG version of Australians. I was wrong. That’s apparently not the case when they’re driving…

Spotted, Wednesday on Highway 99 in Fresno, California: a man holding onto a tractor-trailer, cruising down the road. This is illegal, of course.
