Ever since the Tesla Cybertruck landed in owner's hands, the unique and borderline contentious pickup truck has been subject to a plethora of experiments and tests. Not too long ago, we chronicled the trials of a dual-motor Cybertruck that was taken to a tractor pull, and ended up losing pretty miserably to a diesel-powered 6.7-litre RAM Cummins. However, with the Cybertruck's latest off-road update, the tables appear to have turned quite dramatically in the Cybertruck's favor.

When it debuted in 2022, the 14th-generation Ford F-150's Raptor R was lauded by Ford as the ultimate incarnation of the Raptor badge, whose founding member debuted more than a decade ago. Inspired by Ford's power-dense trophy trucks, the Raptor R was, and still is, the closest offering in Ford's pick-up truck arsenal that can hold a candle to those desert-racing trucks competing in the Baja 1000. Although unrivaled within Ford's stables, the Raptor R has had to contend against Ram's Herculean supercharged 1500 TRX but only for another year, as the 2024 model year is the power-crazed pick-up truck's coup de grâce.

The refreshed 2025 Ford Explorer debuted this past February, and has since entered production at the Chicago Assembly plant, alongside its luxurious counterpart, the Lincoln Aviator. With deliveries of both of those updated models already underway, it was only a matter of time before the 2025 Ford Police Interceptor Utility debuted as the law enforcement-focused version of the Explorer, and now, that’s precisely what has happened.

The pickup truck is synonymous with blue-collar Americans as a vehicle doing double duty as both a mode of transport and a means of carrying out hard work. The latter is a trait that would seem to perfectly line up with the concept of a manual gearbox, as both the pickup truck and the stick shift are signs that the operator is not afraid to put in the effort. The manual gearbox is simple, robust, and hard-working, as are America's pickups. So why, then, have their numbers dwindled?

There Are Only 2 Pickup Trucks Left In America With A Manual Transmission

The only manual V8 RWD sedan left in America is a compelling proposition all on its own; the Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing is a reminder of what AMG used to be, and after being refreshed for 2025 with new looks and a 33-inch touchscreen, it's on par with German automakers in the interior tech department. The 2025 CT5-V Blackwing didn't get any performance enhancements when it was revealed at the beginning of this year, and we didn't think it needed any, but now Cadillac has addressed the issue with a new Precision Package that promises enhanced handling for all driving conditions.

Actor Buddy Ebsen, who died at age 95 in 2003, found fame by starring in two of the most popular classic television shows in history: The Beverly Hillbillies (CBS, 1962 to 1971) and Barnaby Jones (CBS, 1973 to 1980). On the Hillbillies, he played former Tennessee country mountain-folk-turned-wealthy Beverly Hills resident Jed Clampett. On Barnaby Jones, he was one of TV's most senior, slyest, health-conscious detectives. Ebsen, however, almost became even more famous for a certain big-screen classic film in which he ultimately did not appear.

Dodge is planning to announce more details about the all-electric Dodge Charger Daytona on August 9, but ahead of the Friday event, the automaker has teased what appears to be the updated soundscape for the EV's Fratzonic Chambered Exhaust. When the Charger Daytona was first unveiled in concept form, this system played a futuristic, electronic noise, but the automaker always said that it would evolve, with different sounds for different cars and more fine-tuning to come based on customer feedback.

Following its debut in early February, the 2025 Ford Explorer entered production at the Chicago Assembly plant in May, but due to the automaker’s new quality checks, the refreshed model just began hitting dealer lots late last month.

Lifelong friends Andy Griffith and Don Knotts were quite a team on The Andy Griffith Show, which originally aired on CBS from 1960 to 1968. In 1965, Knotts left the series (to make big-screen movies), which later transitioned into Mayberry RFD, with Ken Berry taking over the lead from Griffith.

Most SUVs are also meant to tow stuff, haul things, and traverse off-road paths with ease. Many families across the U.S. purchase SUVs every day for their practicality and ability to carry their families and cargo to the shopping mall, airport, and sometimes even a camping spot. However, it's not every day that anyone cares how quick an SUV is. By "quick," we mean the vehicle's ability to get up to 60 mph from a standstill in a short amount of time.
