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?

Herbie J Pilato

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.

General Motors has had trouble distinguishing some of its brands and their models which share platforms for a long time, but that seems to be changing with the General’s refreshed 2025 full-sized SUVs. Chevrolet released the updated 2025 Tahoe and Suburban’s design toward the end of 2023, but GMC just unveiled the updated 2025 Yukon and Yukon XL with an interior design that’s distinctly different from both its Chevy and Cadillac platform mates. The 2025 GMC Yukon gains a totally new dashboard with a 16.8-inch vertically oriented infotainment display as the centerpiece, and it now offers the first AT4 Ultimate trim that combines off-road capability with luxurious appointments.

GM's layoffs may seem benign, as white-collar job cuts are often a sign that companies can do more with less, but they are also a sign of trouble.

In addition to collecting more than 8,000 used needles in the past year from Denver drug users, the Harm Reduction Action Center passed out 10,000 meth pipes and “snort kits,” according to a newsletter sent to its supporters Thursday. They also connected about 1,700 people to medical, mental health and substance abuse treatment.

Douglas, GA

Daily Coffee Press

A man out on probation for drug charges less than a year ago and a woman from Douglas were recently arrested following a search at a local apartment. On August 7, 2024, at around 1:00 PM, Detectives from the Coffee County Sheriff's Office Drug Unit were conducting a proactive narcotics patrol in Douglas. During their patrol, a detective spotted 30-year-old Christopher Lamar Hawkins, who had outstanding warrants for fleeing police and methamphetamine possession, driving a white 2021 Kia Sorento. Hawkins was stopped in front of apartment 203/204 on N Wheeler Ave, where two detectives approached him. Breanna Henderson, 33, then came out of apartment 203 to "investigate what was going on with Hawkins" and appeared to whisper with Hawkins during his arrest. The report states that Henderson, who temporarily lived with Hawkins, began whispering with him "presumably about nefarious activities due to Hawkins's previous history with drug distribution and evading law enforcement."

The ICE-motivated variant of the 2025 Chevy Blazer debuts with only a handful of changes from the outgoing 2024 model year. Among these are some alterations to the available palette of Chevy Blazer colors, with three exterior paints dropped following the 2024 Chevy Blazer model year. There are now seven...

A lot of small—but far from insignificant—changes for the 2025 GMC Yukon add up to a full-size SUV that is more advanced, luxurious, and stylish than the one before it. The SLE and SLT trims are replaced by the new Elevation trim, giving buyers a more robust base model. On the opposite end of the spectrum, the Denali Ultimate is even fancier and plays the part of Cadillac Escalade (or Lincoln Navigator) alternative with a new second-row executive seating option; the Ultimate treatment has also been extended to the off-road-oriented AT4.

First Look! The New 2025 GMC Yukon Puts Its Ultimate Foot Forward

The refreshed 2025 Ford Explorer debuted back in early February bearing a number of changes including slight exterior styling tweaks, along with a host of interior revisions and the addition of the brand new Ford Digital Experience software. However, along with a pared-down trim level lineup that saw the deletion of the King Ranch trim, the 2025 Ford Explorer was also curiously missing any sort of hybrid powertrain option. Now, we know why that’s the case.

Today, the phrase internal combustion engine has been shortened to simply "ICE." And in ICE powerplants there are three main ingredients: air, fuel (typically gasoline), and spark. Those three are required, and as hot-rodders, we are well-versed in proportionally increasing each of those in order to create more power. We...

What Is a Coil Pack?

April and May lit a few fires in the pony car world, such matters especially of interest now that there's one pony car left, the Ford Mustang. GM President Mark Reuss mused on the Chevrolet Camaro to Motor Trend, imagining a fun-to-drive electric four-door priced in the ballpark of the 2024 Chevrolet Equinox EV, which starts at $43,295 with destination. Given a federal tax credit, that would put the Camaro's price below all of its competition, assuming performance to make the entry-level trim worth it. Across the Michigan suburbs at Ford, CEO Jim Farley gave Autocar his thoughts on what might be possible with Mustang, ruling out a pure electric variant and seeming to rule out an off-road-focused model, while leaving the door(s) open to a sedan-ish model "as long as [it has] the performance and attitude of the original." Those doors are now officially ajar after Ford's dealer meetings in Las Vegas. Automotive News reports dealers were shown a variety of potential future models, including four-door and off-road-ish versions of the Mustang.
