2014 Toyota Tundra Video

2014ToyotaTundra

There's no doubt Toyota has done much to engender the 2014 Tundra's intimidating demeanor. From the larger, more chiseled grille to the character lines that define its body, it's clear that this full-size pickup truck has been infused with a bad attitude (in a good way). Even more impressive, says PickupTrucks.com Editor Mark Williams, are extensive interior improvements that eschew some of the old Tundra's less-impressive features.

Despite all the "drama" on the surface, though, Williams says we'll have to take it on faith that the automaker intends to expand the Tundra overhaul to its structural elements. Will this first step be enough for the Tundra to compete in an increasingly heated segment? Watch the video below and decide for yourself.

2013 Chicago Auto Show: What to Expect

The2013ChicagoAutoShow

The Windy City is considered one of the fan-friendliest destinations during auto-show season, and to that end the 2013 Chicago Auto Show is unlikely to disappoint. This show will give visitors a first glimpse of a few new vehicles along with a closer look at a host of exciting cars that made flashy debuts at the Detroit auto show.

The 2013 Chicago show — the 105th time the event has been held since 1901, according to organizers — will be open to the public 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. Feb. 9-17 and 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Feb. 18, with media and charity previews Feb. 7-8, at McCormick Place, 2301 S. Lake Shore Drive. Organizers promote the Chicago show as the largest in terms of exhibit space used, as it occupies 1 million square feet of floor space and hosts about 1,000 vehicles.

For those most interested in the latest thing, the Chicago show will host the world debuts of the redesigned 2014 Toyota Tundra full-size pickup truck and the Kia Cross GT Concept. That's in addition to the North American reveal of the new Chevrolet Cruze Diesel. The 2014 Ram ProMaster van and the custom Superman-inspired Kia Optima Hybrid also are expected to be unveiled.

Ford Atlas Concept Video

FordAtlasConceptVideoNAIAS

If a new feature on Ford's Atlas concept hints at what's to come, pickup truck drivers could soon find themselves maneuvering their trailers into a parking space while saying, "Look, Ma, no hands!" Based on existing technology for cars and modified for trailer-towing trucks, the auto park feature enables tricky maneuvers without the driver using the steering wheel. Such forward-looking upgrades are what PickupTrucks.com Editor Mark Williams says put the Atlas on the map this week at the 2013 North American International Auto Show in Detroit.

The future of Ford's half-ton and Super-Duty trucks, Williams says, may lie heavily with "active" aerodynamics advancements heralded by the Atlas. They include front grille shutters, an air dam underneath those shutters and wheel shutters that decrease wind turbulence. For more on the future of Ford's trucks, watch the video below.

2013 Ram HD Pulls Ahead in Tow Ratings

2013RamHD

In the realm of towing capacity among heavy-duty trucks, the 2013 Ram HD carries a lot of weight. Newly reported figures confirm what the automaker promised earlier: The Ram HD 2500 and 3500 have some of the largest towing and weight ratings in the industry, thanks in part to beefed-up rear suspension and an upgraded Cummins motor generating class-leading torque. The 3500 will even usurp the Ford F-450 Super Duty as reigning maximum-towing-capacity champ. Read more about Ram HD's towing ratings at PickupTrucks.com by following the link below:
