Check out our new spot to find ALL our content, from news to videos and our podcasts! Andre takes us to the heart of Indianapolis for Work Truck Week 2026, where the big news starts with the return of the Ram ProMaster City. Launching for 2027, this compact van features a 1.6L turbo engine and a sub-$40,000 price tag, offering a garageable solution for small businesses and enthusiasts alike. Andre also highlights the massive Diesel Power Wagon, a triple-locked off-road beast churning out 1,775 lb-ft of torque from its 6.7L Cummins engine.
The tour shifts to medium-duty innovations, showcasing a Mack MD electric truck that doubles as a mobile Level 3 charging station—a "tanker for electrons." Andre even finds a rare Silverado 6500 powered by a Cummins engine, proving that the commercial world often blends brands for maximum capability. He also dives into the "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" philosophy of the industry, noting how flat-rail frames on vans like the Chevy Express have remained unchanged for decades to support specialized upfitting.
Finally, the episode explores how heavy-duty tech is trickling down to the average truck owner. Andre discusses ZF’s durable 8-speed transmissions and new 48-volt heating elements in emissions systems that improve efficiency without sacrificing power. From massive 74,000-lb mobile lifts to rugged EX-Guard grill protectors for vans and pickups, this episode covers the specialized gear and shrinking engine displacements that are defining the future of the trucking landscape.
