Episode Description from the Publisher

The auto world is heating up as Ram throws down the gauntlet with not one but three versions of the all-new Rumble Bee sport truck — and the hosts dig deep into what makes it tick: wider tracks, spool rear differentials, SRT-sourced all-wheel drive, and engine choices ranging from the 5.7 Hemi all the way to the Hellcat. But the conversation doesn't stop there. From Volvo's screaming-fast EX60 EV charging speeds and Toyota's alarming twin-turbo V6 recall, to GM quietly dominating the budget car market with Korean-built compacts, this episode covers the full spectrum of what's moving in the industry right now.   Stellantis steals the spotlight in a major investor-day reveal: 60 new vehicles globally, with 11 headed to North America — including a revived Chrysler Airflow, a Dodge GLH to replace the Hornet, a new Durango with SRT versions, a Wrangler Scrambler pickup, and the Ram Rampage compact truck. The team also takes a hard look at the new Jeep Cherokee Hybrid, which secretly runs a Toyota-Denso transaxle under its hood, and debates the future of mild hybrids, inline-six performance, and whether Chrysler's rumored French-platform products can actually win over American buyers. It's a packed, opinion-heavy episode for anyone who loves trucks, EVs, and the business of cars.   #RamRumbleBee #SportTruck #Stellantis #JeepCherokee #CherokeeHybrid #VolvoEX60 #ElectricVehicle #EVCharging #ToyotaRecall #TwinTurboV6 #DodgeGLH #ChryslerAirflow #WranglerScrambler #RamRampage #GMTrax #AutoNews #CarPodcast #TruckNews #AutoBuyersGuide #NewCars2025 #HybridCars #eTorque #SRT #Hellcat #carreview   00:00:00 - Intro: The Return of the Sport Truck 00:01:28 - Ram Rumble Bee Deep Dive: Specs, Suspension & Engines 0 0:06:40 - Rumble Bee vs Durango SRT & Future Wish List 00:12:21 - Stellantis & JLR US Manufacturing + Volvo Factory Talk 00:17:18 - Volvo EX60 EV: Charging Speeds, Range & Options 00:36:43 - GM's Affordable Car Dominance: Trax, Trailblazer & Envista 00:44:27 - Toyota 3.4L Twin-Turbo V6 Recall: 270,000 Trucks at Risk 00:47:58 - Jeep Cherokee Hybrid: Toyota Transaxle & Real-World Impressions 00:52:21 - Stellantis Investor Day: 60 New Vehicles & North America's 11 01:11:31 - Ram eTorque, Hybrid Futures & Chrysler's French Platform Dilemma
