2011 GMC Sierra Review And Pictures

here are some fresh shiny new spy shots over at Left Lane News – of the 2010 GMC Sierra 2500. You’d probably think that no one cares about such a truck in the days of $4+ per gallon gasoline. And you would be right! Even GM doesn’t really care -there’s no camo at all on this truck. Under the hood of this truck is the refreshed 6.6 liter Duramax diesel V8. Reportedly, this engine will be packing in excess of 700 lb-ft of torque.

Normally I’d be drooling and in a bit of a daze after seeing that number. Instead, I can’t help but wonder how prodigiously it gulps fuel. Sure, it’s a diesel, but that’s one big-ass engine, and a whole lot of power. Plus diesel is scaring five bucks a gallon. Sorry to say it, but this one makes me cringe instead. Wrong time guys, wrong time.

2011 Ford F-250 Super Duty Review And Photos

Just a week after Chrysler officially revealed its new 2010 Dodge Ram heavy-duty pickups at the Chicago auto show, our spies have caught the first covered and camouflaged test trucks of its biggest competitor: Ford’s future F-250 Super Duty, scheduled to arrive by 2011.
The 2011 Super Duty is expected to receive a major styling refresh, about to the extent of the 2008-model-year update. The current blue oval heavy-duties took their exterior inspiration from the mighty Ford F-350 Tonka concept that debuted at the 2002 Detroit auto show. The practice round for the 2011 model appears to be the bold Ford F-250 Super Chief concept, first shown at the 2006 Detroit auto show.
In the photos, we can see two massive chrome bars stretched across the grille, with a prominent Ford oval badge resting between them. There’s likely a third bar resting above the strong front bumper. The SuperCab testers’ grille bars have more space between them than the tight tolerances of the Super Chief’s bars, for real-world cooling needs. The current Super Duty’s hallmark side nostrils appear to have vanished, replaced by distinctive trim pieces on the sides of the grille that (at least for now) end abruptly at the top intake. Other styling updates are likely to be taillights similar to the new 2009 Ford F-150.
Mechanically, we expect the 2011 Super Duty will carry over Ford’s 6.7 litre Scorpion V8 diesel that’s expected to debut in the 2010 trucks. The gas engine is expected to be the new 6.2 litre premium V8, which should replace the 6.8 litre V-10 next year. Another major powertrain change is the likely end of manual transmissions, though the engineering mules in these pictures show Ford continuing its unique tradition of manual-locking front hubs for four-wheel-drive Super Duty trucks.

The New 2011 Ford Ranger – Will Make You Drool

At the recent car show in Geneva SZ Ford Motor Company showed off a redesigned Ford Ranger that will cause you to take a second look. With four full doors and diesel motor in the European version. We don’t know for sure if it is coming state side yet but a rumor from a reliable source says it should hit US showrooms in the 2011 Ford lineup.
When talking with dealership personel at a Cincinnati Ford Dealer they say they have not heard of the new arrival coming in but then again OEM’s have been known to keep secrets from their dealers. The ranger has not had any major redesign since 1993 so it will be a delight to see a new skin on this vehicle.

It may cause Ford to lose some of the F-150 market share when customers tha tdo not require a truck but just want one step down in size due to the enhancements that should become available in this new truck.



2011 Honda Ridgeline

The changes and upgrades to the 2009 Honda Ridgeline have been revealed a little early thanks to the web.

On the outside the new Ridgeline gets a new grille that is not unlike the Pilot's, new front bumper and lights and new tailights. The revisions to the interior include a revised HVAC, steering wheel and the addition of Bluetooth and a 115-volt outlet. The 3.5L V6 gets a very small bump in power and now puts out 250 horsepower and 247 lb-ft. of torque. The 5-speed automatic has also been revised.

The revised and still not pretty Ridgeline will be in showrooms this September.
