Chronicling the Ever-Changing Automotive Industry
We may be nearing the end of the model year, but there’s still time to pick up a 2011 model-year vehicle. With that in mind, I recently got my hands on a 2011 GMC Sierra, and with very few changes expected for the 2012 model year, it’s safe to say that my mostly positive experience will be carried into next year as well.

Since it’s under so much scrutiny today, from the NHTSA to the Federal Government, as well as consumers worldwide, Toyota is quickly recalling about 8,000 2010 Tacoma pickups. Only the four-wheel drive models are affected, and Toyota says that most of the recalled trucks are still in Toyota’s pipeline – namely dealer lots and distribution centers. The problem stems from a cracked driveshaft that connects to the front wheels. Over time, the cracks can become worse, leading to the drive shaft disconnecting from the vehicle. Toyota says there are only a few lot numbers of affected drive shafts, so a quick dealer inspection will tell whether or not the truck has a faulty part.
