Hot Wheels Truck Jump
This truck’s “Yellow Driver” did what most kids dream about. On what looked like a Hot Wheel’s track come to life, a “Hot Wheels” Truck the record for the furthest jump.
You gotta love the fan’s excitement and the the way he came off the ramp!
I’m trying to wrap my head around the need for the driver’s anonymity. I suppose it shouldn’t matter so much, it was clearly a Hot Wheels sponsored event. I would just like to know the chap that had the guts to do it.

Back and forth, back and forth.
There’s no clear winner in this fight between a Dodge and Chevy Diesel.
Don’t blink because you’ll lose your place and you’ll forget whose winning.
Looks like this battle of the wills this happened in the parking lot at Superchips! They were probably just doing some good old fashioned testing. Although, I don’t see how this applies to everyday gas mileage adjustment…

The 2011 Ford Explorer at Torque News
There are vehicles that can be problematic. This normally happens when someone buys a lemon. In the past this was on a case by case basis. You’d buy a new SUV, drive it off the lot and over the next few years have nothing but drive train issues or the oil pressure light would forever be lit.
More recently though, government standards and regulations are forcing manufacturers to issue recalls when their model years start to exhibit consistent problems. Most responsible manufacturers will even issue recalls for repairs before government involvement to ensure customer satisfaction and to keep a high standard of safety rating with Consumer Reports and other bench marks in the industry like auto magazines.

Cummins / Nissan Diesel Engine
If you are used to reaching for the “regular” nozzle at the pump, reading the price for diesel may make you gasp. It’s higher lately and it doesn’t seem to be dropping in any significant manner. So how do truck manufacturers lure buyers over to the idea that diesel provides power, torque and better MPG? Well, you put your money where your mouth is!
Cummins, a leader in the industry when it comes to diesel engine production and Nissan are joining super forces to create a 220-horespower, turbocharged 2.8-liter inline-four-cylinder diesel engine that is expected to achieve 28 mpg in the combined EPA cycle. Read the rest of this entry »

Mary Bintz
Mary Bintz, from our Accounting Department, celebrated her 0th birthday at RealTruck. That’s right, 0th. This is the term she used when we held the celebration. She had dinner with the upper echelons of our company and was given high fives all day by countless members of our staff and she treat us to this… this… LIE!
No one celebrates a 0th birthday.
Unless…
Well, this is just a theory, but could she be immortal?

Tire Fire Friday's Army Truck
Steering from the wrong side of the car?
Ludicrous!
Leaving hot burning rubber all over the track because you can’t stop playing Tokyo Drift with your Army Truck?
Perfectly acceptable to these fans…
