We put Bill Owney in the @Lexus TX 500h on twisty Arkansas 51. 366 hp hybrid, DIRECT4 AWD, a third row that fits adults. Half a ton heavier than an RX and still nimble. An elephant in a tutu, he called it. Around ten grand less than the German three-rows. txgarage.com/2026/09/lexus-t…

I took the 2026 Ram 1500 Rebel X on Texas back roads and light trails. The Hurricane twin-turbo six is smooth and strong, and the cabin feels upscale. But it's $81,565 with no Hemi option. For most Texans, a Hemi Rebel or Lone Star is the better buy. txgarage.com/2026/09/2026-ra…

I spent a week in the @GMC Yukon Denali Ultimate with six aboard. Air suspension and Magnetic Ride make the 24s work on broken DFW concrete, and the 6.2 V8 still pulls. It's thirsty and stickered at $111,785. Built in Arlington, and it still just works. txgarage.com/2026/09/2026-gm…

The 2026 @Ford Expedition MAX is 221.7 inches long, almost a foot longer than the regular Expedition, and every inch of it is behind the rear doors. Living with it in the school pickup line this week. Full review coming.

I put 418 miles on the @Jeep Grand Wagoneer L around DFW. 42.6 cubes behind the third row is why the L exists. Hurricane I-6 is smoother than the old HEMI. 15.6 mpg is the honest number. txgarage.com/2026/08/2026-je…

Bill Owney captured the exact tension that makes the GV70 3.5T worth talking about. The way he folded that close call into the broader story of performance versus real-world cost felt like a conversation over coffee rather than a review. @GenesisUSA txgarage.com/2026/10/genesis…

We’re really only missing the great transit. If these areas had transit inside the cities and then regional transit connecting them…it’d be amazing. DFW is the closest but still far off what it needs. The entertainment, parks, culture… we have all that.

A week in Texas in the F-150 King Ranch PowerBoost. The feature worth paying for is the 7.2 kW Pro Power Onboard. The honest number: 19.2 mpg against 23 EPA combined, so this hybrid is about power and quiet, not mileage. youtube.com/watch?v=GT_QSG8t…

Back in 2023 I said I didn't want my truck to feel like a hot hatch. Ford's answer is the Maverick LOBO: lowered, tuned suspension, its own LOBO drive mode. A few days in, I'm eating those words. Full review coming soon. @Ford
