Forget the idea that going green means giving up raw power or breaking the bank, and shelve the thought that pickup trucks need gas-guzzling powertrains to get the job done. Hybrid trucks exist that top their lineups for power and efficiency, and while it’s true that they aren’t particularly cheap (we’re looking at you, Toyota Tundra Capstone), there is a way to own one without spending $80,000 or even $65,000. The best used trucks are still relatively fresh, since most have only been launched in the last five or six years – some as recently as 2024. That means you…

Photo by SecretName101 on wikimedia The EPA finalized a proposed policy on Monday to eliminate limits on power plant pollution, saddling Americans with trillions of dollars in long-term health and environmental costs, in the latest step of Trump’s assault on Americans’ pocketbooks. The new rule was expected to come today, per a New York Times report which cited two people familiar with the proposal. It will eliminate limits on greenhouse gas pollution from power plants, the kind of which has contributed to the wild weather much of the world is suffering…

When OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei, Google DeepMind cofounder Demis Hassabis, and SpaceX head Elon Musk loosely agreed over the weekend to slow down AI development, skeptics spotted an ulterior motive immediately. The AI titans had declared that their aim was to “pace the frontier,” signing on at least partially to a proposal for embedding third-party auditors, regulating domestic labs, and reaching a global slowdown agreement. Their critics, however, argued they simply wanted to stop would-be competitors, kneecap the open-source movement, and avoid real legal safeguards — some dubbed it an outright “cartel.”The truth is more complicated,…

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 don’t think anyone with towing experience will argue that heavy equipment trailers demand a healthy dose of fear. And when I say “fear,” I mostly mean “respect.” Things can go wrong in a hurry when you’re pulling 20,000 pounds or more. Also, there’s only so much a driver can do if they have to evade an obstacle in the road, as the tail is always roaring and ready to wag the dog at…

Hyundai Group has been very clear that it wants to bring cars like the Genesis X Convertible to market. Now CarBuzz has just found a patent for a vehicle firewall that shows how it could happen. Wait, did we say vehicle firewall? This is why our patent investigative team is so good. It turns out, this Hyundai firewall idea would be used for an open-top car with a long hood. Both of those details scream rear-drive flagship like the Genesis X Convertible concept car. But something smaller and less expensive from Hyundai or Kia isn’t out of the question, either.…

Ford is in the midst of a recall nightmare at the moment, topping the charts during a particularly bad year for the whole industry in that regard. As a matter of fact, 2026 is well on track to become the worst recent year in terms of vehicles recalled at this pace, and the problem isn’t limited to Ford. Toyota and multiple Stellantis brands are heavily contributing to it, as well, but Blue Oval does hold the lead by a huge margin. As we roll into September, the company has issued 71 individual recall campaigns this year, and there are still…
