Podcast appearances and mentions of atlas cross sport

The Volkswagen Atlas joined the VW roster for 2018 and gave the company the ever-important mid-size SUV. Expanding on the Atlas, Volkswagen added the Cross Sport variant of its MQB-based crossover, which put the company's hat in the ring of the crossover coupe argument. After five years on the road, Volkswagen overhauled both versions of the Atlas. While these updates do come with some interesting new hardware, there is one downside for some: Volkswagen ditched the VR6. That means powering every Atlas Cross Sport is the 2.0-liter EA888 Evo 4 mill, which shoves 269 hp and 273 lb-ft of torque through an eight-speed transmission.  On this episode of Quick Spin, host Wesley Wren hops behind the wheel of the 2024 Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport and puts it through its paces. Wren takes you along on a guided tour of the '24 Atlas Cross Sport and highlights some of his favorite features before taking you along on a live drive review. Adding to these segments, Wren chats with Autoweek's Patrick Carone about the Atlas Cross Sport, crossover coupes, and more. Closing the show, the pair break down what makes the Atlas Cross Sport Special

This one might be good to know, but Kelly can't imagine using it anytime soon.  Kelly's waiting for Boden Black Friday deals and Lizz has her eye on Ruggable rugs. But…when do the good deals actually arrive? No one knows. In the meantime, Lizz is upping her silicone mold game and made a skims haul, Kelly ordered a muted camo vest and Kizik shoes for George, and both placed orders at Express.  You've probably seen caraway cookware pop up on your Instagram at some point because their kitchenware is so aesthetically pleasing.

Weird cars come and go, but the Unnamed Automotive Podcast is here forever! Or at least until the end of interesting cars in general. Speaking of which, the guys have some curious cars to talk about this week, starting with Benjamin's take on the new 2023 Toyota Crown. A sedan/sportback mix with a hybrid powertrain, this vehicle seems to combine the best elements of the ultra successful Camry and RAV4. But is that really the outcome? Benjamin has the whole scoop and a thesis about what kinda buyer Toyota is after with this four-door. Then Sami discusses the 2024 VW Atlas Cross Sport. Having driven the vehicle several years ago at it's debut, Sami is here to report that the Atlas has received significant updates that really bring the crossover into the top tier of the segment. With new packaging, equipment, and a refreshed style, Sami went from lukewarm to red hot on this German offering. Then the guys answer some questions about Netflix and Samis parenting journey. Thanks for listening!!

Jill and Tom opened this week's show quickly covering a number of topics, including Jill's take on Toyota hybrid refinement, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's (NHTSA) potentially inadequate use of crash-test dummies, and Tom's recent encounter with would-be carjackers. Jill also shared her take on the freshened-for-2024 Volkswagen Atlas and Atlas Cross Sport midsize crossovers. In the second segment, Jill and Tom are joined by Cars.com Editor-in-Chief Jennifer Newman. Jennifer shared the fundamentals of Cars.com's 2023 American Made Index. Surprises include the dearth of American-brand products near the top of the list. Jennifer noted that the country of origin of drivetrain components, such as a vehicle's engine and transmission, can have a profound impact on a vehicle's placement on the list. Tesla's performance on the list was a surprise. Jennifer elected to join Jill for this week's quiz, which focused on new-car sales during the first half of 2023. 

In this episode we are in Saugerties, New York, with Cameron Batten, Chief Communications Officer for Volkswagen North America and his German Shepherd, Atlas, for the first drive of the 2024 Volkswagen Atlas and Atlas Cross Sport.

Join Ray Stevens, DriveChicago.com General Manager Mark Bilek and Chicago Auto Show Marketing Director Jim OBrill as they review the re-designed 2023 Kia Niro, talk with Volkswagen's Mark Gilles about the refreshed 2023 Atlas & Atlas Cross Sport, and go driving in the snow with Jill Ciminillo.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The 2023 Chevrolet Silverado ZR2 combines old-school components like a normally aspirated high-displacement V8 engine with specialized off-road tech to create a commonsense premium all-terrain truck. This past week America on the Road Co-Host Chris Teague had the opportunity to put the Silverado ZR2 through a grueling series of tests in the midst of the Maine winter. We're freezing just thinking about it. But what he discovered is worth knowing, and he'll reveal it all and a little more in this edition of America on the Road. Meanwhile, across the country, Host Jack Nerad road tested one of the darlings of the car tester set —the 2023 Mazda CX-5 Turbo. Crossovers don't usually get much respect from vehicle critics, but the exception is the CX-5. After an informative week behind the wheel of the newest CX-5, Nerad will tell what he found. Does the CX-5 deserve its “favorite son” status? Our special guest this week is extremely knowledgeable about the heavily revised 2024 Volkswagen Atlas and Atlas Cross Sport. Brian Wallace is a Volkswagen product planner and vehicle expert. Host Jack Nerad caught up with him at the Chicago Auto Show for a lengthy interview on the fraternal twins that bring a lot of new stuff to the midsize SUV party. In the news this week, a new study shows that the total ownership cost of an electric car is near that of a conventional internal combustion vehicle but dealers are having a tough time getting customers to do the math. We'll have details and our thoughts on all that coming up in this episode. Also in the news, a well-regarded sports car brand from the past might soon see a revival in the United States. We'll tell you what that brand is and have more on that story coming up too. Finally, the Biden Administration's new rules on the national EV charging network could drastically change the way Tesla does business. We'll have the details on that and what it could mean to you and your family coming up.

When it comes to the best Volkswagen SUV the competition is tight! And whether you are leasing or buying the European car maker is offering some compelling sport-ute options. Pondering which one is the best of them all is logical.  But it's also subjective.  Because mine is one of the countless opinions. ⇒ Your SoCal VW Dealer is Ontario Volkswagen! To clarify, driving all Volkswagen SUVs many times gives me some authority.  However, first I want to share how you can easily pick the best Volkswagen SUV for your needs. Then I'll drive you to my conclusion as to which Volkswagen SUV is best - in my opinion. -->Continue Reading Below And Click/Tap To Listen

The 2023 Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport continues its stylish reign in the midsize SUV category. Rolling into the fourth year of its first generation.  The five-passenger sport-utility vehicle is the second largest available in Volkswagen's lineup. ⇒ Ontario Volkswagen is an iDriveSoCal Official VW Dealer Offering a trim and price point for any new car buyer.  Atlas Cross Sport comes basic yet stylish with lots of interior space.  Or nicely danced up with luxury features while staying affordable. 2023 Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport Top-3: Technology Interior Styling 2023 Atlas Cross Sport V6 SEL R-Line Black New For 2023 Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport Volkswagen stays the course for the Cross Sport nameplate in 2023.  With one notable change from its 2022 offerings. And that's the addition of a 10.25-inch configurable VW Digital Cockpit. Trims And Prices: 2023 VW Atlas Cross Sport For 2023 the VW Atlas Cross Sport is being offered in SE and SEL trims.  But with sub-trims within each of those. So you have five different trims from which to go with.  Starting with the base-model SE trim and topping with the SEL Premium R-Line trim. SE $34,460 w/ Technology $38,630 SEL $44,230 R-Line Black $46,180 Premium R-Line  $51,625 Engines, Transmissions, And Gas Mileage The 2023 Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport is being offered with two different engines.  Two-wheel or all-wheel-drive.  While delivering good fuel economy.  Especially for a vehicle its size. Engines Volkswagen is offering a 4-cylinder and a 6-cylinder in Atlas Cross Sport. The 4-cylinder is inline and 2.0-liter.  It's turbocharged and intercooled.  Putting out 235 horsepower with 258 pound-feet of torque. Then there's the 6-cylinder that's a 3.6-liter.  And it places 276 hp and 266 lb-ft of torque at the ready. Transmissions All 2023 Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sports come with the same transmission.  It's a smooth-shifting 8-speed automatic. But the difference is whether you go with 2WD or AWD.  And when opting for two-wheel the power comes from the front. Also, when moving to all-wheel-drive, in VW-speak that's called 4MOTION. MPG EPA estimates for the 2023 VW Atlas Cross Sport variations are similar.  That's regardless of trim and configuration. 2023 VW Atlas Cross Sport MPG 4-cylinder turbo: FWD 21/23/25 4MOTION 20/22/24 6-cylinder: FWD 18/20/24 4MOTION 18/20/24 *City/combined/highway Curb Weight The 2023 Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport curb weight depends on configuration. On the low end, the 4-cylinder with FWD comes in at 4,114 pounds.  Then the opposite side of the spectrum.  That's the 6-cylinder with AWD, aka 4MOTION.  It comes in at 4,449 lbs. Towing Capacity When it comes time to drag your stuff around Atlas Cross Sport is capable.  Though it's more commonly being used as a hauler of people. The 2023 Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport can tow up to 2,000 lbs with the smaller turbocharged 4-cylinder engine.  And that jumps up to 5,000 lbs with the larger 6-cylinder. Either way, those weights are with a braked trailer.  Rather than one without brakes. 2.0L Turbo 4-cylinder or 3.6L 6-cylinder engines 2023 VW Atlas Cross Sport Exterior Atlas Cross Sport's stylish design wins universal applause. It's athletic and sporty from every angle.  Bold front and rear fascias.  Attractive three-quarter views.  And its profile silhouette punches above its price point for sure. Cross Sport is a Volkswagen vehicle for sure.  But the less-educated car-guy-eye can easily pass Cross Sport for its luxury sibling.  And that's Audi's Q8, with a starting price north of $73,000. Moreover, Volkswagen Cross Sport arguably shares the shape of its supercar brethren in Lamborghini Urus.  And its starting price is a nose-bleeding $230,000. Fun fact: Lamborghini is owned by Volkswagen Group through its subsidiary, Audi.

During this segment, we review the Volkswagen Tiguan SUV.  As the automaker's most popular vehicle in the world as well as the best-selling SUV in Europe, the Tiguan is slotted above the entry level Taos and below the Atlas Cross Sport in the automaker's domestic line-up. 

The 2022 Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport is a stylish midsize SUV that seats five. Smaller than its big brother Atlas yet bigger than its little brother's Tiguan and ID.4.  Atlas Cross Sport is delivering Audi-Esque European styling.  But at a price point lower than its sibling luxury brand. ⇒iDriveSoCal's VW HQ is Ontario Volkswagen 2022 VW Atlas Cross Sport - Top-3: Value Styling Technology Wheelbase 117.3" - Length 195.5" New For 2022 Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport Volkswagen is axing the S trim for the 2022 Atlas Cross Sport. SE trims now receive an 8.0-inch digital cockpit standard.  And SEL models are getting 4MOTION and 20-inch wheels.  Plus an R-Line Black package makes an entry with black twenties and R-Line accents. If you're wanting even bigger wheels - no problem.  Because VW is offering SEL Premium R-Lines with 21-inch wheels! Trims And Prices Here are the trims and MSRPs for the Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport.  There are six of them for 2022. 2022 VW Atlas Cross Sport trims and starting MSRPs: SE $33,635 w/ Tech $37,805 SEL $43,405 SEL R-Line $44,805 R-Line Black $45,355 Premium R-Line $50,805 *All starting MSRPs. Plus $1,295 destination fee. Engines, Transmissions, And MPG VW is continuing to offer Atlas Cross Sport with two engines. Whichever engine you go with the transmission will be the same.  But you do have the deciding factor of different drivetrains. So there's a turbocharged 4-cylinder as well as a 6-cylinder that you'll be choosing from. Driving both of them, they're pretty similar in performance.  While the turbo 4-cylinder feels a bit quicker to speed up from slow speeds.  The 6-cylinder feels the same at highway speeds.  But they feel quite similar. Atlas Cross Sport Engines 2.0-liter inline 4-cylinder - 235 horsepower w/ 258 pound-feet of torque 3.6-liter 6-cylinder - 276 hp / 266 lb-ft of torque Towing Capacity This might be your deciding factor.  Because if you plan on towing anything with your 2022 Atlas Cross Sport.  There is a big difference. With the 4-cylinder you top out at 2,000 lbs of towing capability.  Whereas with the 6-cylinder you can drag up to 5,000 lbs. Drivetrains Engine aside, the 2022 Atlas Cross Sport comes with smooth and efficient transmission.   And that's an 8-speed automatic. Leaving you with the options of 2-wheel drive or all-wheel drive.  And in the VW world 4Motion refers to AWD.  While its 2-wheel option is front-wheel drive. 195.5" width - 67.8" height Fuel Economy: 2.0L-Turbo 4-cylinder FWD 21/23/25 AWD 20/22/24 3.6L 6-cylinder FWD 18/20/24 AWD 18/20/24 *City/combined/highway Looking At The 2022 Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport The styling continues to be a highlight for the 2022 Atlas Cross Sport. Because it's European roots.  Also due to its Audi family ties.  As well thanks to its rear downward-sloping roofline. The 2022 crossover midsize 5-seater is a Volkswagen for sure.  Good looking, classy, and athletic from every angle. Exterior Dimensions: Wheelbase 117.3 Length 195.5 Width 78.3 Track: front 67.0 rear 67.6 Ground clearance 7.1 *All inches And the 2022 Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport has a curb weight that varies.  Depending on your trim and drivetrain.  The sport-ute weighs between 4,123 and 4,464 lbs. Up to 25 MPG 2022 VW Atlas Cross Sport Interior Volkswagen's legendary fit and finish are on display throughout the inside. It's plain to the eye.  When examining the intersections where all the panels and parts come together. But also how everything works.  For example, the flat-folding backseats that lock into place for easy hauling. Up to 77.8 cu ft. of cargo space Additionally, on Volkswagen's interior materials in Atlas Cross Sport.  They're quality feeling to the touch.  No, they're not Audi quality.

Show #1449 Good morning, good afternoon and good evening wherever you are in the world, welcome to EV News Daily, you trusted source of EV information. It's Thursday 28th  April, it's Martyn Lee here and I go through every EV story so you don't have to. VW SAID TO CONSIDER BUILDING ID. BUZZ, ELECTRIC PICKUP IN THE US - Ever since Volkswagen unveiled the ID. Buzz in early March, the automaker constantly had to answer questions regarding the possibility that the electric van will also be made in the United States. - reports claim that Volkswagen is considering an expansion of its Chattanooga plant in Tennessee. A source close to the matter told Reuters that the automaker plans to build an electric pickup and the ID. Buzz at the new facility. - VW has not confirmed plans for an electric pickup yet, although VW Group CEO Herbert Diess and VW of America CEO Scott Keogh have vaguely hinted at such plans. - The report ties in with another one from Germany's Manager Magazin from earlier today. The publication wrote that Volkswagen was planning to build a second production plant in the US that would increase its annual capacity to up to 600,000 vehicles. - VW Group announced on March 21 that it plans to invest at least $7.1 billion in North America over the next five years. Original Source : https://insideevs.com/news/582632/vw-said-to-consider-building-id-buzz-electric-pickup-us/ VOLKSWAGEN REPORTEDLY CONSIDERING A SECOND US PRODUCTION SITE PLUS NEW BATTERY CELL PLANT - With competitors like Nissan, General Motors, and Ford Motor Co. all manufacturing EVs in the state of Tennessee, it is very quickly becoming a mecca for electrification in the US and could soon be number one, according to the head of the Tennessee Valley Authority. - Current ID.4 production capacity in Chattanooga is expected to be from 100,000 to 120,000 units per year as the automaker adds a third production shift creating about 4,500 jobs. Combined with existing production for VW's Atlas and Atlas Cross Sport, the Chattanooga plant would essentially be maxed out. - The report also states that VW is considering a battery plant near the Chattanooga plant(s) as well. - According to VW exec Scott Keogh, the company's current plan is to source its EV battery cells from  SK Innovation at the new $2.6 billion factory it is building in Georgia. In terms of a potential US battery plant, Keogh said VW will need units.

The partnership aims to rapidly building a fast charging network across Europe by 2024. - The roll-out will feature Volkswagen's Flexpole 150kW charging units, each of which feature two charge points, and an integrated battery storage system. - The Flexpole units can be directly connected to a low voltage grid which removes the requirement for a dedicated substation and costly construction work, while providing fast charging speeds of up to 150kW - The first phase of the roll-out will see up to an additional 4,000 charge points at bp's Aral retail sites in Germany and bp retail sites in the UK over the next 24 months. - bp's charging network will be integrated into Volkswagen, ŠKODA and Seat/Cupra in-car dashboards ensuring drivers can find their nearest charger seamlessly.

The trucks will be among 50,000 Next Generation Delivery Vehicles from Wisconsin-based Oshkosh Corp. - Maloney referred to a Government Accountability Office report released Tuesday. The congressional watchdog said the postal service used a gas price that is almost $2 per gallon less than the current national average price of gas. - The Postal Service is moving forward over objections of the Biden administration with its $6 billion plan to purchase as many as 165,000 mail trucks over the next 10 years, with up to 90% of those running on gasoline instead of more climate-friendly batteries.

Host Tom Appel and co-hosts Jill Ciminillo and Damon Bell start the show by discussing their test-drive experiences with Mazda's first pure-electric vehicle--the new-for-2022 MX-30. Cars.com Executive Editor Joe Wiesenfelder joins us to talk about Cars.com's "Guide for the EV Curious"--an excellent primer on electric vehicles. Tom has a tricky quiz for Damon and Jill on the debut model years of semi-recent vehicles, and Damon runs down the latest articles on the Consumer Guide Daily Drive blog--including a test-drive review of the redesigned-for-2022 Nissan Frontier pickup truck.

this week's episode tackles the thorny subject of Volkswagon's 2020 three-part series of television commercials for the Atlas Cross Sport (21 mpg city, 24 mpg highway).  The ad agency tapped Paul Giamatti and Kieran Culkin to play parts  designed to not so loosely recall their current roles on “Billions” and “Succession” respectively, thus causing confusion on the part of viewers who would prefer not to watch either show out of sequence. Also curious is VW's decision to scrap the 3rd commercial in the trilogy, leaving us to wonder how the story is resolved (perhaps a class action suit on the part of Atlas Cross Sport owners because the key fob disables their home alarm systems). In any event, I'm sure you will agree this is a fascinating topic and I've done my best to get deep into the details, as deep as I could manage on the periphery of 2 + hours of music , anyway.

Volkswagen played the rollout of the 2022 VW Taos Basecamp well.  Because, while we knew the all-new subcompact SUV was coming.  We didn't know the special Basecamp package was anything more than a concept. So when the Basecamp concept became a real thing - it heightened the excitement.  And after driving it I can report that the small new sport-ute lives up to the excitement. ✅  Southern California's Volkswagen HQ –> Ontario Volkswagen 2022 Volkswagen Taos Basecamp Top-3: Style Drive Fuel Economy -->Continue reading below and click play to listen to the podcast.

The 2021 Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport is a midsize SUV.  But it joins its slightly larger sibling, the VW Atlas in the midsize SUV category. Here's the deal.  Atlas Cross Sport is a 2-row whereas the larger VW Atlas is a 3-row.  The differences pretty much start and stop there. So if you have kids at home go with the Atlas.  And if you don't you'll probably opt for the Atlas Cross Sport.  Because it's a bit sleeker, sportier, and even more European-looking. However, you cannot go wrong either way.  Because both the Atlas and the Atlas Cross Sport are great overall values. ✅  Test drive Atlas Cross Sport midsize SUV at Southern California's Volkswagen HQ –> Ontario Volkswagen. 2021 VW Atlas Cross Sport Top-3: Overall value.

2020 Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport Review The 2-row, 2020 VW Cross Sport slots between the smaller Tiguan and larger Atlas. But, to be clear the Cross Sport also shares the Atlas name.  So, technically it's called the Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport. Since the brand new model is the newest entrant into VW's crossover SUV lineup it arrives with considerable anticipation. 2020 VW Atlas Cross Sport Top-3: Styling Handling Visibility And that goes for me too.  So, I was excited to pick one up from my friends at Ontario Volkswagen for this review. -->Continue reading or click play below to listen.

Consumer Reports has rented a 2020 Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport, and we give our first impressions on this 2-row midsize SUV, compare it to the regular Atlas, as well as other 5-seat SUVs. With the cancellation of the Geneva Auto Show due to the outbreak of the coronavirus, we discuss the future of auto shows worldwide, and whether they make practical sense for manufacturers anymore. We also answer audience questions about how CR car experts are able to retain information to compare different vehicle generations, if a manufacturer's warranty will transfer with the sale of a used car, and why the world of LED, HID, and halogen headlights seems more confusing than ever.     ----------------------------------- Take our survey here: CR.org/TalkingCarsSurvey   Have a question for our experts?

2020 Volkswagen Atlas The 2020 Volkswagen Atlas is technically a midsize crossover SUV.  But one could argue it belongs in the full-size category as it has three rows of seating. Additionally, it's the largest crossover SUV that VW offers.  And it's big and roomy inside with room for adults in each row of seating.  Plus Atlas offers plenty of cargo space and impressive tech. 2020 Volkswagen Atlas Top-3: Exterior design Interior space Fuel economy Personally, I've been a big fan of Atlas since it's debut in 20180.  It's great for families without being too big.  So I recently picked-up an Atlas from my friends at Ontario VW for this review. -->Continue reading or click play below to listen.

2020 Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport Reveal The first look I got at the 2020 VW Atlas Cross Sport was at the LA Auto Show.  While SoCal Volkswagen dealers will have it in the Spring of 2020. And at first glance, the new edition to VW's crossover SUV lineup looks much like it's bigger sibling, the Atlas with 3-rows of seating. But once you give it a little more attention the enhanced sportiness of the aptly named Cross Sport is definitely appreciated.  And Cross Sport will seat up to 5. Personally, my mind drew a parallel the sibling Volkswagens (Atlas and Cross Sport) and another set of siblings.  That's the luxury and way-way more expensive Land Rovers (Range Rover Sport and Velar). And my friend Randy Halcomb at Ontario Volkswagen says that's significant.  Because "it highlights Volkswagen's innate ability to pack ridiculous value (and prestige) into its affordable-to-everyone products." -->Continue reading or click play below to listen.

Volkswagen Off-Road Volkswagen off-road is a phrase we haven't heard much of for years. Not since the Meyers Manx dune buggies were created from Beetles has VW really been associated with off-roading. But that's changing thanks to Americans' love affair with crossover SUVs.  Because of that Volkswagen has recently spruced up and added to its crossover SUV lineup. So, 2020 brings three Volkswagen off-road / crossover SUV options. There's the compact Tiguan which is in its second generation.  It has an optional 3rd row of seating.  But it's mainly for smaller humans. :0) Plus, the Atlas Cross Sport which is a 5-seat midsize new entry to the lineup.  It will soon be available at Southern California Volkswagen Dealers. And the Volkswagen Atlas, which arguably bumps up to full-size status with the entry of the Atlas Cross Sport.  Because it's a 3-row 7-plus seater that VW just added to its lineup in 2018. Now, are all of these Volkswagen's off-road-ready?  While not in a dedicated off-highway vehicle sense (OHV), it really depends on your degree of off-road-mindedness. And following Volkswagen's off-road trend, my friends at Ontario VW recently danced-up this Atlas. -->Continue reading or click play below to listen.

The 2020 Volkswagen Tiguan is a compact crossover SUV with available 3rd-row seating. It's hard to beat the fit and finish in Volkswagen vehicles.  And that holds true with the 2020 Tiguan. Plus the Tiguan's smooth sure-footed performance, high-tech features and Euro-styling combine for a serious value proposition. I recently picked up a 2020 Volkswagen Tiguan from my friends at Ontario Volkswagen for this review. -->Continue reading or click play below to listen.

It was Chicago Auto Show week and we've got a bunch of news and interviews. But first, in the garage, Sam has been driving the 2023 Kia Telluride SX-Prestige X-Pro V6 AWD, the refreshed and more off-roady version of Kia's big crossover. Nicole had Honda's version of the same idea with the new Pilot Trailsport. In Chicago we saw Toyota take the wraps off an even larger 3-row crossover, the Grand Highlander with more third-row and cargo room and an option Hybrid Max powertrain, but no rugged off-road version, yet. Volkswagen refreshed its popular Atlas and Atlas Cross Sport with more grille, bigger screens and a new turbo 4-cylinder. Subaru is evolving its CrossTrek with a new but incrementally changed look. Jeep is celebrating 20 years of Rubicon with price new limited edition Wranglers and Ram has shown us the 1500 REV electric pickup that unfortunately looks more like the current gas truck than the flashy Revolution concept we saw at CES. We also have interviews with Jeep's Jim Morrison and Hyundai's Kristin Gomez.Join the Wheel Bearings Discord https://discord.gg/yqVAdFNELinksToyota Grand Highlander2024 VW Atlas/Cross Sport2024 Subaru CrosstrekJeep Wrangler Rubicon 20th anniversaryHyundai Evolve+Ram 1500 REVOur Sponsors:* Check out Express VPN: https://expressvpn.com/WHEELBEARINGSAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
