    Auto Review: 2022 Ram 1500 TRX
    Wow.  Yep. I said it (or actually typed it). This is a SUPER TRUCK. The Ram folks apparently put a Viagra in the fuel tank of a 1500 truck and produced the TRX model.  Almost everything you want and need in a vehicle that can take you most anywhere off-road with its 702-hp engine. It sits 8" wider than a normal Ram 1500 (hence my Viagra comment) and rides smooth on Bilstein shocks.  Gas mileage isn't great but sometimes you have to ask "who cares?" and keep on trucking while turning heads. For a full review of this bad boy, take a listen here. Note: As heard on "The High-Tech Texan Show with Michael Garfield" on KPRC 950AM (Houston) and iHeartRadio (worldwide). --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/garfield/support

    Auto Review: 2023 Kia Soul GT-Line
    We can classify this as a small-SUV but I'd probably go with a VERY small-SUV.  But this head-turning vehicle solidly fits 5 people in its unique body style.  It may not pack a punch on the road but the affordability factor is strong.  Listen to my full review here as heard on "The High-Tech Texan Show," on KPRC 950AM (Houston) and iHeartRadio (worldwide). --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/garfield/support

    Auto Review: 2023 RAM 2500 Heavy Duty Rebel
    I love trucks.  Sometimes the bigger they are, the better they are, especially if you want to own the road (and off-road) but also tow things.  The new RAM 2500 Heavy Duty Rebel can probably tow a small house.  RAM Power Wagon fans should love this bad boy as it indeed lives up to its name of Heavy Duty but also has the nice upgrades included with the Rebel trim.

    Auto Review: 2022 Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid Pinnacle
    Yes I know it's a minivan but I have to sometimes review these things to get to the sexier sportscars and trucks.  But driving the new Pacifica Hybrid was very enjoyable with its smooth ride and comforting touches inside and out.  Listen to my review as heard on "The High-Tech Texan Show" on KPRC 950AM (Houston) and iHeartRadio (worldwide). --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/garfield/support

    Auto Review: 2023 Cadillac Escalade V-Series
    Here it is...the most expensive vehicle I have test driven this year so far.  $150,000 of incredible size, power, and engine noise.  A combination of a luxury SUV with the power and pickup of a muscle car.  Cadillac outdid itself in many ways with this beast and it was a blast to drive.

    Auto Review: 2023 GMC Yukon Denali Ultimate
    Just when you thought Yukon couldn't get nicer and fancier after its famous Denali edition...here comes the Denali Ultimate.  I can't think of another adjective that could summarize everything inside and outside this beast of an SUV.

    Auto Review: 2023 Cadillac XT5
    Cadillac's high-end XT5 is chock full of premium and luxury features which is probably why they named the model the Premium Luxury version.  I tested the 3.6L V6 version of this CUV and was impressed with most everything.

    AUTO REVIEW: 2023 Cadillac Escalade Premium Luxury
    Cadillac is very proud of its newest version of the iconic Escalade as they named one of the variants as Premium Luxury.  It may sound redundant but this large, beast of an SUV is indeed those things.  The big, 6.2L, V-8 engine makes for a smooth ride especially with the magnetic ride control.   Listen to my review as heard on "The High-Tech Texan" show and podcast. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/garfield/support

    Auto Review: 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee Summit Reserve 4xe
    Who doesn't love the Jeep Grand Cherokee?  The popular SUV now has a plug-in hybrid option which gives it a 25 mile range on pure battery.  That allows the new vehicle to boast a 56 MPGe which isn't bad for a large, rugged vehicle.

    AUTO REVIEW: 2022 Kia K5 GT
    A midsize sedan with one helluva great value.  I really enjoyed tooling around for a week in the 2022 Kia K5 GT.  A sexy, sporty vehicle with a very nice interior and definitely some get-up-and-go with its 2.5L turbocharged engine.

    Auto Review: 2022 Buick Envision Avenir
    What a good looking compact SUV.  I was impressed with the most everything when test driving the Avenir version of the 2022 Buick Envision.  Sleek look, especially in front, and a smooth ride.   Take a listen to my full review here via my "High-Tech Texan Show" heard across the country on iHeartRadio. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/garfield/support

    Auto Review: 2023 Cadillac XT6 Sport
    Cadillac is a strong brand and it's new crossover SUV is a decent vehicle that does it's job.  Interestingly enough it reminds me of the Chevy Traverse I test drove last week.  After all, the two brands are sister companies. For my full thoughts you can listen here.  As heard on "The High-Tech Texan Show" on iHeartRadio.  --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/garfield/support

    Auto Review: 2023 Kia Sportage X-Pro Prestige
    I'm a KIA fan and nothing about the new Sportage X-Pro is disappointing.  This is a solid SUV with a nicely appointed interior, a smooth ride, and a decent price.

    AUTO REVIEW: 2022 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat Widebody
    717-horsepower.  Any questions?  Of course the Dodge Challenger is going to be fast but the Hellcat version is crazy fast.  This muscle car sounds loud and great and handles the road like a champ.
