Show Notes

( https://www.alltfl.com/ ) Check out our new spot to find ALL our content, from news to videos and our podcasts! It’s an absolutely packed episode of TFL Talkin' Trucks because the entire automotive industry is exploding with major news all at once! The guys kick things off with the massive world debut of the next-generation 2027 GMC Sierra 1500. They dive deep into the truck's over-the-top new luxury interior, which features a James Bond-style articulating center screen that uncovers a hidden storage cubby, passenger screens with integrated covers, and a massive full-length panoramic sunroof. But the truck news doesn't stop there! The team dives into the official, mind-boggling price announcement for the all-new modular Slate truck, starting at just $24,950. The hosts reveal that the company has an official reservation and is actively customizing their very own Slate build. They debate the endless DIY aftermarket potential, from $50 factory armrests to $500 multi-zone wraps, and dream up how a base, two-wheel-drive utility machine holds up against classic, old-school work trucks. Finally, the guys look at recent engineering trips to Germany testing heavy-duty ZF semi-truck tech, trail wheeling trips in Moab, and a major production announcement from the tiny EV truck competitor, Telo.
