The last few years has seen quite a few interesting developments in how people store and access cargo. All three of the major American automakers now offer multi-function tailgates that can open in unique ways. Rivian has introduced its cargo tunnel underneath the bed and behind the cabin. Plus, GM has brought back its midgate bed extender on its electric trucks, having not been seen since the Chevy Avalanche was on sale. In the near future, though, Nissan may introduce its own take on the mid-gate, since it just keeps pumping out patents related to the idea. Nissan mid-gate folding…

Vantage_DS/Shutterstock Eventually, your aging computer will no longer receive new security patches. Windows 10 reached its end of life in October 2025, though extended security updates are still offered through October 2027. Older Macs will reach end-of-life status before long too; with macOS 27 dropping support for Intel Macs, security patches will only last as long as macOS 26 is supported.  But losing software support doesn’t automatically make the underlying hardware obsolete. Even if your old computer feels slow, an alternative…

The Drive 🤝 your inbox. Every weekday The Daily Brief wraps up the biggest stories and our exclusive reporting on the auto industry and car culture. I can’t believe General Motors is actually doing it. There was a rumor more than two years ago that GM would stuff an 8.3-liter Duramax diesel into the Chevy Silverado HD and GMC Sierra HD, but at the time, it seemed like little more than a pipe dream. Fast forward to 2026, and the manufacturer itself just confirmed it. The gargantuan power plant is nicknamed the Mongoose, and as you can tell by GM’s…

Fans of Apple CarPlay and Android Auto who are eagerly awaiting General Motors’ new full-size trucks for the 2027 model year might be thrilled to know both those services will be offered on the new Chevrolet and GMC pickups as they go on sale within the next three months. Those same fans were miffed three years ago when General Motors said it would phase out the popular smartphone integration in favor of native Google-based infotainment built into new vehicles. But the General was listening to consumer grumbling as designers and engineers developed the crucial, money-making full-size truck. The popular systems…

Automotive Just when it looked like General Motors might finally be reconsidering its controversial decision to remove Apple  and Android Auto from future electric vehicles, the situation has taken another turn. In our recent Automotive Addicts article, we covered what appeared to be a meaningful change in direction after GM revealed a new infotainment experience for the 2027 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra that allows CarPlay and Android Auto to work alongside native vehicle functions. According to follow-up reporting, however, that setup applies to the gasoline-powered versions of those trucks and should not be interpreted as GM reversing…

Approximately a year and a half ago, Nissan announced that it would finally release a new generation of Skyline, and we’ve been waiting anxiously to see it ever since. Of course, we, and car fans around the world, have arguably been waiting even longer than that. The current generation of Skyline (and its Infiniti Q50 twin), have been around mostly unchanged for more than a decade. The long wait is nearly over, as Nissan will reveal the car this December. This Isn’t Just A Rumor, Nissan’s CEO Announced The Event The news comes from an interview between a reporter from…
