Quality is the biggest factor in picking a diesel engine for a large truck. With most commercial drivers putting around 100,000 miles on their trucks every year, it's important to get the right diesel engine for the job. For the most part, it boils down to three options — and more realistically, only two in the modern age. After Caterpillar stopped building on-highway engines in 2009, the main fight is between Detroit and Cummins when it comes to the best commercial diesel engines on the market currently.

The 2023 model year proved to be the last hurrah for the 300 sedan, which wrapped up production following Chrysler's parent company Stellantis' decision to discontinue a range of its ICE models, including the 300's platform mates Dodge Charger and Dodge Challenger. To send it off in style, Chrysler created the most extreme final version of the 300, a 6.4-liter HEMI-powered Chrysler 300C. The 300C made 485 horsepower and 475 lb-ft of torque, with production limited to just 2,200 examples, representing a fitting send-off for the formerly popular sedan.

It used to be that an inline four-cylinder was just slightly more powerful than a lawnmower, but modern performance technology, as well as super and turbocharging, has made them formidable engines. In fact, there are some high-output I-4s that rival V-6s and even V-8s, both in horsepower and torque. Gone are the days when four-cylinders were only for sensible compacts, as they now power some of the hottest rides around.

Today’s muscle car aficionado is well-versed on the second-generation Chrysler Hemi, which initially appeared in race form for the 1964 race season and in Street Hemi form from 1966 to 1971 in Dodge and Plymouth production cars. Because the Hemi had been in Chrysler cars from 1951 to 1958 in its original incarnation, the idea of a V-8 with hemispherical combustion chambers was not new, but as you can tell from author and publisher Ray Brock’s enthusiasm in the following cover feature from April 1964, it was nothing short of earth-shattering. —Johnny Hunkins.

One of the main appeals of a powerful pickup truck is having so much storage space in the bed. However, even if you go hauling stuff around on a regular basis, there may still be times when you need to carry people as well. A pickup truck with a regular cab only has a driver's seat and a passenger seat, so unless you have friends and family who don't mind sitting in the bed (the legality of which varies from state to state), a regular pickup isn't exactly conducive to that kind of job.

As has historically been the case, the debut of the all-new 2024 Ford Mustang was quickly followed by the release of a large number of new parts and accessories for the S650 generation pony car. Long one of the most popular models to customize, the newest Mustang carries on that tradition of giving owners countless options when it comes to altering the looks and performance of their rides, with Roush Performance continuing to add to that list.

Unless you’re reading this story on a GM-owned device, you’ll be waiting a while for your chance at a thrill ride in the 2025 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1.

The Ward's AutoWorld publication has been going for over a century, and many are likely familiar with their Ward's 10 Best Engines selection, which is published once a year. To appear on the list is a credit to an engine's reliability, performance, and design. The list includes rigorous testing and evaluation by a panel of the publication's editors who consider factors such as horsepower, torque, fuel economy, and the application of new technologies. Many iconic engines have appeared multiple times on the list since its inception in 1994.

If your only argument against the 2025 Ram 1500 is it doesn’t have a Hemi, you’re missing out. I crave a V-8 burble as much as anyone, but after a week with the latest half-ton Ram and its high-output 3.0-liter Hurricane inline-six, I don’t miss the Hemi even a teeny bit. I absolutely love this truck.

When the facelifted Ram 1500 arrived earlier this year, the loss of its V8 engine wasn't the only big news - a new top-of-the-line trim was introduced, called the Tungsten. It aims at bringing luxury to the 2025 Ram 1500 lineup, and sports various upgrades over lower-run trims. Before you even look at what's on the options list, the Ram 1500 Tungsten comes in at over $90k, with destination fees and taxes included. That's likely to bring you into the low six figures once you've paid off the loan, even if you secure a great interest rate.

When it comes to building engines, one philosophy is that the bigger, the better. Six cylinders? Why not eight? Ten? Twelve? Another philosophy is to work smarter, not harder. If you can get supercar specs out of six cylinders, why drag the car down with all that extra aluminum and cast iron? Track records are frequently made and broken on a difference of 100 pounds of curb weight, and with how much juice you can get out of turbochargers and electric motors these days, it's no wonder some of the quickest cars in the world have some of the leanest engines.
