We posted a lot of news and reviews in 2024, covering electric SUVs and full-size trucks. Used truck prices top the list, but there was also a lot of focus given to recalls and known problems with trucks. Clearly, this audience is more interested in pickups than SUVs, and EVs don’t rank at all – but we still gotta cover ‘em. Here’s a quick look at our 2024 top stories on the website and forum from the past year.

Our take on top stories
Apparently, we need to talk more about reliability and known issues. People really use our website and forum to search for and talk about problems with their trucks. We do have an extensive reliability series on the site. Just search for the vehicle name and the word reliable.
Oh, and in case you missed it: Here’s our livestream with the top 10 trucks and SUVs we drove this year.
We look forward to spending more time with you in 2025, and we thank you all for visiting in 2024. Wishing you the happiest of new years!
