Probably part of the reason Hyundai of all makers is outselling Ford this quarter
Interesting Car/Truck Manufacturer News
- Thread starter Weather Man
- Start date
I didnt think these were out yet, spotted this in Sandusky Ohio.
Production that's so limited that they'll take your money and you will never get one.
Production numbers less than Saleen bankruptcies.
Display/demo trucks for people to see. Some serious fender poke.
I like it, I like it alot lol. Gotta wait and see how much they are optioned out the way I want, from that spec sheet I believe you posted they dont seem worth it to me if thats what pricing ends up being.
I firmly believe deals will be out there after initial launch.
Good walk thru.
2027 Silverado pilot truck, which has the new 5.7 L V8 engine, blew up (supposedly).
Supporting evidence? Hopefully it's not "I know a guy who knows a guy" lol.
It's a test truck, rumor is all you have.
8.2 rumored to have DEF issues. So they didn't drop that unfortunately.
The idea was cool but I do not like the execution of this plan at all.
I’d say your taste in truck design differs from most
Given my current choice of truck that’s a fair statement but I will say I do like the Raptor and TRX design
- Ford Motor (F) sold 509,764 vehicles in the third quarter, down 6.6% year-over-year, largely attributed to the phase-out of the Escape and Lincoln Corsair.
- Adjusting for the elimination of these models, Ford (F) sales were roughly unchanged from the same quarter last year.
- Sales of its best-selling F-Series pickup trucks rose 2.4%, while Super Duty production increased 4.4%, its best performance in 19 years.
- Demand for the Explorer and Bronco Sport SUVs remained robust, with sales up 11.2% and 12.7%, respectively.
- However, sales of its fully electric vehicles fell 80.2% in the third quarter while hybrid sales were down 19.7%, resulting in a 41.3% decrease in EV sales.
This is (freight) truck news, which I found interesting. Driverless freight haulers are apparently on the near horizon. This start-up is in Texas.

It will be interesting to see how long the gangs take to systematically block and pillage these trucks.
The bad news starts at Cadillac. In Q3, sales of the Escalade IQ and IQL dropped 29.2% to 1,604 units. In addition, Cadillac Lyriq sales are down 50.2% to 3,617 units, Optiq sales have declined 6.9% to 4,550, and sales of the Vistiq fell 34.1% to 2,587 units. Total sales at the Cadillac brand were down 30% to 32,650.
Chevrolet Suffers
Then there’s Chevrolet, which saw its sales decline 4.6% to 437,321 vehicles. The Blazer EV suffered an 84.4% fall in sales to just 1,261 units. In addition, sales of the axed BrightDrop 400 and 600 vans were down 43.6% to 1,344. The biggest loser was the Equinox EV, with sales declining 92.4% from 25,085 in Q3 2025 to just 1,905 last quarter. Year-to-date sales are down 65.6% to 18,154.

Driverless trucks are already hauling sand.
They stay on the lease roads. They go site to site. Companies are tired of paying drivers per hour to sit and wait.
There are times drivers would sit and wait for 6-12 hours at a time. Sleep in their trucks and just get paid to sit and do nothing.
So instead.. now they have driverless trucks... that just sit, and pull forward when needed. They do 10mph on the lease road from site and site.
