Toyota has once again proven its dominance in NASCAR’s CRAFTSMAN Truck Series, securing its 14th Manufacturers’ Championship after another stellar season on the track. The milestone marks Toyota’s third title in the past five seasons and further extends its legacy as the most successful manufacturer in Truck Series history.
Throughout the 2025 campaign, Toyota-backed teams and drivers delivered an impressive performance, collecting 13 race victories, 37 top-five finishes, and 58 top-10 results. In addition, Toyota drivers captured 25 stage wins, underscoring the brand’s consistent presence at the front of the field week after week.
“The 2025 NASCAR Truck Series season has been a historic one for Toyota, culminating with our 14th Manufacturers’ Championship,” said Paul Doleshal, general manager of sponsorships and motorsports for Toyota Motor North America. “We cannot thank our drivers, team partners and TRD personnel enough for their efforts and sacrifices in helping Toyota win this championship. It’s been a special year in the Truck Series, and we look forward to celebrating this tremendous feat.”
The standout star of Toyota’s 2025 Truck Series campaign has been Corey Heim, the TRICON Garage driver who authored one of the most dominant seasons in series history. Heim has tallied 11 wins so far—a single-season record—along with 21 stage victories and 65 Playoff points during the regular season. Those achievements earned him the 2025 Truck Series Regular Season Championship, and he’ll enter the season finale at Phoenix Raceway as a favorite for the overall series title.
Toyota’s success extended beyond Heim. Stewart Friesen, driver and co-owner of Halmar-Friesen Racing, returned to victory lane for the first time since 2022 with a triumph at Michigan International Speedway in June. Rising star Gio Ruggiero earned his first career Truck Series victory at Talladega Superspeedway in October, showcasing Toyota’s continued commitment to developing young talent.
Meanwhile, Kaden Honeycutt, filling in for an injured Friesen, has impressed throughout the playoffs and will join Heim in the Championship 4 at Phoenix—his first shot at a Truck Series crown behind the wheel of the Halmar-Friesen Racing Toyota Tundra TRD Pro.
Since joining the Truck Series in 2004, Toyota has built an unparalleled record of success, amassing 247 victories and 188 poles across 518 races. The 2025 championship adds to Toyota’s impressive collection of titles, which include previous Manufacturers’ Championships in 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2019, 2021, and 2022.
From its powerful TRD engines to its talented lineup of drivers and dedicated partner teams, Toyota’s sustained success in the NASCAR Truck Series underscores a winning formula built on performance, teamwork, and innovation.
As the Truck Series heads to Phoenix for the season finale, Toyota has already cemented its place in the record books—again proving why the Toyota Tundra TRD Pro remains the gold standard of excellence in NASCAR’s toughest racing series.
The 2026 Jeep Compass rolls into the lineup with a blend of smarter tech, simplified trims, and a more refined look. While the U.S. version remains familiar under the hood, global markets are seeing a major step forward with electrified options and a new platform. Here’s what’s new this year.
Jeep has trimmed the Compass lineup to just three core models — Latitude, Limited, and Trailhawk — dropping the entry-level Sport trim. Every version now comes better equipped, adding up to about $2,350 worth of extra standard features. Heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, and advanced driver-assist systems like lane management and blind-spot monitoring now come standard. Pricing starts around $32,985, making the Compass a stronger value across the board.
Under the hood, the U.S. Compass sticks with its 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine, putting out 200 horsepower and 221 lb-ft of torque. It’s paired with standard all-wheel drive and can tow up to 2,000 pounds. The off-road-ready Trailhawk trim continues to earn its Trail Rated badge, featuring the Selec-Terrain system with Auto, Snow, Sand, Mud, and exclusive Rock mode for serious off-road adventures.
Visually, the Compass gets three new paint colors — Joose, ‘41 Green, and Fathom Blue — for a bolder road presence. Inside, the cabin gains upgraded materials and an 8.4-inch touchscreen with Uconnect, while the global version gets even flashier tech with a massive 16-inch display and digital cluster. Jeep’s focus this year is clearly on elevating comfort and everyday usability without losing its rugged edge.
While the U.S. model is an evolution, the global 2026 Compass rides on Stellantis’s new STLA Medium platform, supporting hybrid, plug-in hybrid, and full-electric variants. The electric version is expected to offer up to 375 hp and around 400 miles of range (WLTP). This move signals Jeep’s next big chapter, even if North American buyers have to wait a bit longer for those powertrains.
The 2026 Jeep Compass may look familiar, but it’s smarter, better equipped, and more refined than ever. U.S. buyers get more value and tech, while global markets preview the brand’s electrified future. Whether you’re eyeing the rugged Trailhawk or a tech-packed Limited, this year’s Compass keeps Jeep’s adventurous spirit alive — just with a more modern twist.
When you think of a full-size pickup, you likely picture brute strength—big towing numbers, hard-working bed loads, and rugged capability. But what if you could pair that with hybrid efficiency and practicality? That’s exactly what the PowerBoost Hybrid system in the Ford F-150 aims to deliver—and with good reason, it’s earned top honors.
The PowerBoost Hybrid system was named to the prestigious Wards 10 Best Engines & Propulsion Systems list for 2025.
For the team at Ford, as one article from the powertrain team stated, this isn’t just another accolade—it’s “a validation of years of hard work, countless hours of problem-solving, and a shared vision to deliver something truly innovative for our customers.”
The judges at Wards described the system as “powerful, smooth and quiet, and … stunningly efficient for a vehicle its size.”
Here’s a breakdown of the drivetrain that’s making the difference:
What makes the PowerBoost system especially compelling is how it addresses the traditional trade-offs of truck hybrids:
Here are some of the practical advantages of choosing the PowerBoost Hybrid:
The Ford team didn’t rest after initial success. Even after their first Wards win (in 2021), they continued with software and calibration enhancements, improved brake system integration, and the like. That commitment to refinement is likely a big reason the system remains competitive and award‐worthy.
We’re living in a transition period for trucks—traditional internal‐combustion engines are still dominant, but electrification (hybrids, plug-in hybrids, full EVs) is accelerating. That’s why recognition from Wards matters: propulsion systems like the PowerBoost prove that hybrid tech can enhance trucks, not just make them “greener.” It signals to consumers: you don’t have to give up capability to get modern efficiency.
Just in time for the holiday season, the Chrysler brand is teaming up once again with the beloved Peanuts gang for a collaboration that blends nostalgia, family fun, and festive flair. The new Chrysler x Peanuts co-branded merchandise line — featuring T-shirts, a cozy sweatshirt, a mug, and a tote bag — is now available through Chrysler’s official Amazon Store.
This collection celebrates the timeless charm of Peanuts characters like Snoopy, Charlie Brown, Lucy, and Woodstock, pairing their playful spirit with the family-friendly personality of the Chrysler Pacifica, the brand’s flagship minivan.
The merchandise launch coincides with the debut of the next phase in Chrysler’s multi-installment Pacifica x Peanuts video campaign. Four new videos — titled “Mess,” “Feature Five,” “Fun,” and “Familiar Faces” — have rolled out across Chrysler’s YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok channels.
These short films capture the warmth and humor that Peanuts fans know and love, highlighting themes of family, football, and fall fun — all while showcasing the Chrysler Pacifica’s clever features and family-first design.
“As we head into the fall and holiday season, it’s the perfect time to celebrate by introducing our exciting new Chrysler x Peanuts co-branded merchandise,” said Chris Feuell, Chrysler Brand CEO. “The holidays and Peanuts have always gone hand in hand, and we’re thrilled to unveil the next chapter of our Chrysler Pacifica video campaign to mark the debut of this special collection.”
The Peanuts partnership also ties into Chrysler’s seasonal festivities, as the Pacifica makes a “fang-tastic” return for its second year as the Official Minivan of Trunk or Treat. Known for its spacious interior and clever storage, the Pacifica once again proves it’s the ultimate “mobile Halloween HQ” for families looking to make the most of spooky season.
Pacifica owners are encouraged to share their own Trunk or Treat creations on social media by tagging @chrysler for a chance to be featured on the brand’s pages.
Fans can shop the Chrysler x Peanuts merchandise line now on the Chrysler Amazon Store
and catch all the new campaign videos on Chrysler’s social media channels.
Whether you’re sipping cocoa from a Snoopy mug or packing up the family in a Pacifica for a holiday road trip, Chrysler and Peanuts are spreading smiles — one classic character and one cozy moment at a time.
Safety has long been at the heart of Volkswagen’s engineering philosophy, and the newest Tiguan is no exception. Volkswagen of America, Inc. announced that the 2025 Volkswagen Tiguan has earned a 5-Star Overall Safety Rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) — the highest possible score awarded under the agency’s New Car Assessment Program (NCAP).
With this recognition, the Tiguan joins the growing list of 2025 Volkswagen models achieving top marks for safety, including the Atlas, Atlas Cross Sport, ID.4, Jetta, and Jetta GLI.
Since 1978, NHTSA’s 5-Star Safety Ratings have guided consumers toward vehicles that provide outstanding protection in crashes and collisions. The 2025 Tiguan’s performance across NHTSA’s rigorous testing underscores Volkswagen’s commitment to developing vehicles that safeguard both drivers and passengers.
Built on the foundation of Volkswagen’s advanced safety engineering, the all-new third-generation Tiguan introduces four new airbags — including driver knee, center, and dual rear side airbags — bringing the total count to ten airbags. Enhanced side curtain airbags now feature a larger deployment zone for improved occupant coverage in side impacts.
Every 2025 Tiguan comes standard with Volkswagen’s IQ.DRIVE® suite of driver assistance technologies, offering Level 2 semi-automated driving capabilities. These include:
Additionally, Light Assist, Park Distance Control, and Exit Warning come standard, while Park Assist Plus is available for drivers seeking even more convenience.
Volkswagen’s achievement with the 2025 Tiguan reflects the brand’s broader mission to make advanced safety accessible to more drivers. With this 5-Star Overall Safety Rating, the Tiguan continues the company’s strong record of designing vehicles that don’t just perform — they protect.
For drivers seeking peace of mind along with modern design, cutting-edge technology, and Volkswagen’s renowned driving dynamics, the 2025 Tiguan stands as one of the safest choices in today’s SUV market.
At the 2025 SEMA Show in Las Vegas, Toyota took the wraps off something that blurs the line between concept car and showroom reality: the Camry GT-S Concept. Built on the foundation of the 2025 Camry XSE AWD Hybrid, this striking sedan is Toyota’s latest exploration into how style, stance, and subtle performance tuning can transform one of America’s best-selling cars into a true sport sedan with everyday drivability.
While SEMA often plays host to wild, one-off builds and heavily modified dream machines, Toyota’s approach with the Camry GT-S Concept is refreshingly attainable. The car retains its 232-horsepower 2.5-liter hybrid powertrain, proving that you don’t need to swap engines or chase huge numbers to make a statement. Instead, the GT-S Concept focuses on chassis refinement, design evolution, and real-world performance that owners could realistically see on the road.
Inside, the GT-S keeps the familiar comfort and technology of the production Camry. The goal, Toyota says, was to imagine a sedan that could “roll straight from the dealership floor into a customer’s garage.”
Styled by Toyota’s CALTY Design Research team in Ann Arbor, the GT-S Concept wears its performance inspiration proudly. Aggressive yet cohesive bodywork gives the Camry an unmistakably athletic stance.
“The Camry GT-S Concept is an exciting study with aspirations born from the racetrack,” said Kevin Hunter, Executive Design Director at Toyota North America. “It exemplifies Toyota’s dedication to delivering bold, exciting driving experiences.”
The GT-S isn’t just about looks. Underneath, Toyota engineers fitted adjustable coilovers, dropping the ride height by 1.5 inches for a more aggressive stance and improved handling. A serious brake upgrade brings 8-piston calipers up front with 365mm rotors, and 6-piston calipers with 356mm rotors in the rear—hardware that wouldn’t be out of place on a track car.
To complete the package, 20-inch lightweight performance wheels wrapped in 245/35R20 tires fill out the wheel wells, giving the concept a planted, purposeful look.
While Toyota has no official word on production plans, the GT-S Concept serves as a testbed for consumer feedback and a hint of where the Camry nameplate could go next. “Our goal was to create something aspirational yet attainable,” explained Adam Rabinowitz, Chief Designer at CALTY. “This concept explores what a performance and style package could mean for Camry’s future.”
For Toyota, the GT-S also reinforces the brand’s evolving philosophy: innovation through possibility. “This build is intentionally grounded in reality—it’s the kind of car customers can picture themselves driving home,” said Mike Tripp, Group Vice President of Toyota Marketing. “SEMA gives us the chance to test new ideas, listen to enthusiasts, and explore how we can continue to evolve Camry in ways that excite and inspire.”
The Camry GT-S Concept headlines Toyota’s presence at the 2025 SEMA Show (Nov. 4–7) in the Las Vegas Convention Center’s Central Hall (Booth #22200). It joins more than two dozen Toyota concept builds under the theme “Powered by Possibility”, showcasing innovations across Toyota’s full powertrain spectrum—from internal combustion and hybrid to plug-in hybrid, battery-electric, and hydrogen fuel cell.
For enthusiasts and everyday drivers alike, the Camry GT-S Concept is more than a design exercise—it’s a glimpse at the evolving DNA of one of Toyota’s most iconic sedans, where attainable performance meets everyday practicality.
The muscle SUV just got even more attitude. Dodge has officially announced the return of B5 Blue, one of its most beloved heritage paint colors, to the entire 2026 Dodge Durango lineup. Last seen on the Durango back in 2018, the vibrant hue — one of the original “High Impact” Mopar colors from the late ’60s and early ’70s — is set to bring a burst of retro flair to Dodge’s modern muscle SUV family.
For longtime Mopar fans, B5 Blue needs no introduction. The color first lit up the streets in the golden age of American muscle, draping icons like the Dodge Charger, Coronet R/T, and Plymouth Road Runner. Alongside legendary shades like Plum Crazy, Go Mango, and Hellraisin, B5 Blue stands as a symbol of bold, unapologetic performance — a perfect fit for the Durango’s attitude.
Now, for the first time in eight years, the color is back — and it’s not limited to a single trim. Every 2026 Dodge Durango model can now be ordered in B5 Blue, from the family-hauling R/T to the outrageous SRT Hellcat Jailbreak.
2026 marks another milestone for Dodge: every Durango now comes with a legendary HEMI® V-8 under the hood. Whether it’s towing the family camper or laying down tire marks at the track, every trim delivers best-in-class towing and unmistakable Dodge muscle.
Dodge CEO Matt McAlear summed it up perfectly:
“Adding B5 to Durango, the only three-row muscle SUV powered by a HEMI V-8 engine in every model, best-in-class towing at every trim, and the ability to seat up to seven, is the perfect blend of bold attitude, family muscle, and unmistakable Dodge DNA.”
For buyers who want to take personalization to the extreme, B5 Blue also joins the Durango SRT Hellcat Jailbreak palette. With the Jailbreak program’s massive range of customization options — now topping 7 million possible combinations — enthusiasts can tailor their muscle SUV down to the smallest detail.
B5 Blue isn’t the only splash of color for 2026. Dodge is also introducing Green Machine, another bold shade joining the Durango’s growing lineup of expressive paint choices. Together, they reaffirm Dodge’s commitment to high-impact style — a nod to the brand’s muscle car heritage and its fans’ desire to stand out.
Orders for the 2026 Dodge Durango in B5 Blue open November 4, 2025, with a starting U.S. MSRP of $595 for the paint option. Dealer orders for the 2026 Durango lineup began on August 13, 2025.
With B5 Blue back in the mix, Dodge isn’t just reviving a paint color — it’s celebrating its performance legacy. The return of this High Impact classic to the all-HEMI Durango lineup is proof that Dodge continues to blend muscle, practicality, and nostalgia better than anyone else in the game.
So whether you’re after a three-row family hauler with muscle car swagger or an SRT Hellcat ready to dominate both the drag strip and the carpool lane, the 2026 Dodge Durango in B5 Blue delivers the perfect mix of heritage and horsepower.
When the checkered flag dropped at Phoenix Raceway to close out the 2025 NASCAR Cup Series season, it wasn’t just Kyle Larson celebrating. With Larson’s victory in the No. 5 Chevrolet and his second career Cup Series Drivers’ Championship, Chevrolet clinched its fifth consecutive NASCAR Cup Series Manufacturers’ Championship — another milestone in a streak of dominance that shows no signs of slowing down.
That victory capped a banner year for Team Chevy across all three of NASCAR’s national series. In the Xfinity Series, Jesse Love drove the No. 2 Chevrolet to both the Drivers’ Championship and Chevrolet’s ninth straight Manufacturers’ title — underscoring the brand’s deep bench of talent and engineering excellence.
For Eric Warren, GM’s Vice President of Global Motorsport Competition, Chevrolet’s success isn’t the result of luck: it’s the outcome of a deliberate strategy that began several years ago.
“The momentum started in 2020 when we created GM Motorsports,” Warren explains. “The idea was to provide resources — especially in simulation — for all our partner teams so as not to duplicate efforts.”
That collaborative model unites powerhouse organizations like Hendrick Motorsports, Richard Childress Racing, and Trackhouse Racing under one banner. Though they’re fierce rivals on Sundays, they share information, data, and insights to keep Team Chevy collectively ahead.
“It’s like kindergarten recess sometimes. Everyone wants to go in a different direction,” Warren laughs. “But once you build momentum, it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. You attract better people, better drivers, and better teams.”
That shared vision also allows Chevrolet to think long-term, not just about the next race, but the next generation.
“If you’re fighting fires, you can’t invest in the future,” Warren says. “Our model allows us to look further down the road.”
In NASCAR’s Truck and Xfinity Series, where teams often operate on tighter budgets, Chevrolet’s centralized support provides a crucial edge. “If you look at Xfinity, a large part of why there’s a lot of Chevy teams is nobody else is able to quite scale the support that we provide,” Warren notes.
Chevrolet’s commitment extends beyond engineering to driver development. By scouting talent from across global motorsport, GM identifies young racers with the potential to succeed on NASCAR’s biggest stage. “Because of all the series we race in, we get exposed to talent at a much younger age,” Warren explains. “We can put drivers in different situations to understand who has the skills to thrive in NASCAR.”
Even when rival manufacturers bring faster cars to the track, Warren credits Chevrolet’s depth of talent and culture of collaboration for keeping the Bowtie brand in contention. “The talent and resiliency of our teams and drivers means that Chevrolet is never out of the conversation,” he says.
Looking ahead to 2026, GM Motorsports is already building on its momentum. Warren points to continued development in aerodynamics for the Truck Series and long-term planning for Xfinity and Cup programs, which are all aimed at keeping Chevrolet on top.
“We’ve done our homework for a while here,” he says. “It’s exciting to have the resources, but also to have all the teams and the drivers believe in the approach and that makes it tough for others to duplicate.”
From Larson’s Cup triumph to Love’s Xfinity breakthrough, 2025 showcased the strength of Chevrolet’s racing ecosystem. It’s a story of collaboration, innovation, and relentless drive and one that cements Chevrolet’s place as the gold standard in NASCAR performance.
