On today's podcast, we ponder if plug-in hybrids are the future, talk Tesla and Ram, and ruminate on our first races attended as fans.
2025 Ram 1500 Review – No Hemi, No Cry
Sometimes, less is more.
Or, in this case, fewer is more. That’s because the available cylinder count in the 2025 Ram 1500 is reduced by two, and as any grammar stickler will tell you, it’s “fewer” when it comes to things you count. Such as, you know, the number of cylinders in an engine.
Stellantis Vehicles Should Jump to Tesla's NACS Starting in 2026 UPDATED
Stellantis has been slow to roll out new electric models, so it’s not surprising to see the automaker being one of the last to join Tesla’s North American Charging Standard. That changed yesterday, as the automaker announced that it would begin offering the tech on some electrified vehicles starting in 2026.

2025 Ram 1500: A Hurricane Arrives
No, it doesn't have a Hemi. At all. Sorry, old-school Mopar folks: The 2025 Dodge Ram will not have a V8.
Given the estimated power numbers Ram is tossing at us media folks -- and you the public -- that might not be a bad thing.
NHTSA Investigating 1.1 Million Ram 1500 Pickups Over Steering Complaints
On Tuesday, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) confirmed that it would be investigating over one million Ram 1500 pickup trucks over complaints about power steering issues.
While the conditions for a regulator-enforced recall have not yet been satisfied, Stellantis may institute a voluntary recall of its own before regulators have completed their probe. In 2016, the automaker recalled a batch of 1500 pickups when it was still Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) over contaminated power steering units. Debris has apparently entered the system, creating a possibility of an electrical short.

Expect to soon see another entrant in the rapidly expanding unibody compact truck segment. Stellantis has thrown covers off its Ram Rampage for the Brazilian market, and camouflaged examples have been spotted testing in America.
Ram Names Tim Kuniskis as Its CEO
Normally we don’t pay mind to a C-Suite reshuffle, because most of these executive title changes are either part of a never-ending game of musical chairs or a last-ditch effort to rearrange the Titanic’s deck chairs before the thing sinks. But this one grabs our attention for one very good reason: The guy now in charge of Ram fostered the development of a 1,000+ hp muscle car.

Ram It: Lunar Editions Added to Rebel, TRX
Few companies – automotive or otherwise – are as skilled with the fine art of introducing special editions of existing products as Stellantis. It’s a great way to string along an interest in an existing product; for the sake of a pot of paint and some creative naming, they get fresh coverage from a site like this while moneyed gearheads get a new color to distinguish themselves from their equally moneyed friends.
Ram Teases Inscrutable Truck
It’s the week to write about truck teasers, it seems. Perhaps tired of Toyota getting all the digital ink about shadowy references to future product, Ram dropped a post on Instagram suggesting they also have something up their sleeve.
2025 Ram 1500 Rev -- Range Extension
