What? No more Hemi engine?!?!? Yep, RAM launched the fifth-generation of its famous truck and ditched the big V-8 engine that was so associated with the it.

The new line now sports a six cylinder turbo engine with either a low or high output option.

Listen to my review to see how the new engine compares to the old one. As heard on "The High-Tech Texan Show," on KPRC 950AM (Houston) and iHeartRadio (worldwide).

In what turned out to be my longest review in the history of my radio program, I could have gone on about the new electric-powered Hummer.

It's massive, quiet, fast, and a total head-turner. I love the infinity roof with opaque sky panels and most all of its unique luxury and looks.

Despite its heavy weight and lofty price tag, this machine is not for the faint-of-heart yet will leave your heart pounding after each ride.

Chevy's Suburban is an absolute classic and iconic SUV having been around since 1935. Now in its 12th iteration, this 3-row behemoth is easy to drive and loaded with creature comforts.

Tack on the High Country package upgrade and it includes Super Cruise, automated parking assist, power assist steps and much more.

The latest Silverado truck from Chevy has some nice standard features while riding tall and bold. But upgrade to the High Country premium package and game is on!

22" painted aluminum wheels, all-season tires, power sunroof, and more make this version of the the Silverado a leader in the truck category.

I continue to be impressed with Kia and all of their vehicles I test drive - from gas-powered to the EVs. The new Sorento has been redesigned a bit with a more sleek look and two new trims were added this year.

The top-of-the-line SX-Prestige model is built for a more rugged drive off-road. The 3-row SUV is capable of towing up to 4,500 lbs and has several nice upgrades including leather seating and wheels.

It's been a while since I've test driven a BMW and it is about time. The brand is amongst my favorite OEMs as they put sexy beasts with a lot of luxury features.

The X2 is a small, luxury SUV that is comfy and comes in a relatively decent price point. I do have a few suggestions for the company when it comes to this vehicle but maybe that's why the price is "decent."

Every Spring I get the opportunity to test drive a slew of new cars, CUVs, SUVs, and more at the Texas Auto Writers Association Auto Round Up. Think of it as Coachella for vehicles.

Manufacturers bring some of the newest rides as TAWA members buckle up for two days of tire kicking and pedal pushing. This year's event was held in Decatur, Texas, at Eagle Canyon Raceway which meant we would get the chance to open up a few of these hot rods while also playing around on streets and highways.

Over the next few weeks I will be breaking down my thoughts on these vehicles to give listeners ideas of what to look for when thinking about your next purchase.

Here's a start...

Mid-size trucks are my jam as I find them easier to drive and park than full-size monsters. Throw in some off-road capabilities and we have a match made in heaven.

Chevy got together with AEV for a collab to produce the Bison version of its popular Colorado ZR2 truck and the result is a winner (other than one thing)
