Auto Review: 2026 Nissan Frontier Pro-4X 01.06.2026 7:30
I personally prefer mid-size trucks instead of the larger boys. Easier to park and handle, plus I don't haul a lot of things where I need a full-size. So the new Pro-4X (great badge and upgrades) could be a nice option for you should you still want to schlep things around yet feel comfy on-and-off the paved roads. Listen to my full review as heard on iHeartRadio.
Auto Review: 2026 GMC Yukon AT4 Ultimate 27.05.2026 8:07
Are you kidding me? 17 ft long and 5,500 lbs? This is an apartment on wheels; decorated and as comfy as a private jet. GMC's top of the line Yukon has space, tech, and power. It does come with a hefty price but it may be the only vehicle your family needs for the next decade. Listen to my full review as heard on iHeartRadio.
Auto Review: 2027 Kia Telluride X-Pro 20.05.2026 7:35
A three-row SUV that feels premium and can handle a bit off-roading? Yes, please. And nice job by Kia for the new design and upgrades. Listen here for my full review as heard on iHeartRadio.
Auto Review: 2026 Alfa Romeo Tonale Speciale 12.05.2026 9:53
Fun and entertaining. Those words could describe me :) but also for this Italian-made SUV. Certainly sporty with nimble handling, the Tonale makes driving a pleasure with a decent price and OK gas mileage. Listen to my full review as heard on iHeartRadio.
Auto Review: 2026 Nissan Sentra SL 04.05.2026 7:50
Yes, sedans still exist. And Nissan continues to up its game with the Sentra. The SL version adds some very nice touches yet the price remains relatively low for what you get. Listen to my full review as heard on "The High-Tech Texan Show" on iHeartRadio.
Auto Review: 2026 Jeep Cherokee Laredo Limited 29.04.2026 6:22
After 3 years, the Cherokee is back and it's a hybrid. Very good mileage - certainly for an AWD - and a decent price for a CUV from this venerable brand. Listen to my full review as heard on iHeartRadio.
Auto Review: 2026 Nissan Armada NISMO 13.04.2026 8:05
It's like taking a big SUV and pumping it up with Red Bull. 460hp packed under the hood with Nissan's NISMO badging. If you're looking for a bad ass, big boy that is packed with tech features, comfort, and - oh by the way - packs a punch via the gas pedal, you need to check this out. Full review as heard on "The High-Tech Texan Show" on iHeartRadio.
Auto Review: 2026 K4 Hatchback GT-Line Turbo 09.04.2026 6:21
A hatchback? Yep. A hatchback. Kia's K4 (originally the Forte) has gone through some new body styles and this version is a low-riding, sleep, compact SUV-type of ride. Listen to my full review as heard on "The High-Tech Texan Show" on iHeartRadio.
Auto Review: 2026 Nissan Murano Platinum 19.03.2026 7:10
Nissan really did it this time. A home run. An honesty great vehicle here, as the Platinum version adds a number of luxury features. Decent price that can easily be your daily driver. Listen to my full review as heard on "The High-Tech Texan Show" on iHeartRadio.
Auto Review: 2026 GMC Sierra EV AT4 Max Range 01.03.2026 7:50
Probably the longest name of any vehicle I have reviewed but it was worth it. A luxury truck with a range of almost 500 miles? Could be the first EV that I would consider buying...but the price? Listen to my review as heard on "The High-Tech Texan Show" on iHeartRadio.
Auto Review: 2026 Kia Sportage PHEV X-Line Prestige 16.02.2026 8:16
That's a long name for a compact SUV but Kia does a nice job mixing in comfort, tech, and very good mileage with this model. Listen to my full review as heard on "The High-Tech Texan Show" on iHeartRadio.
Auto Review: 2026 Chevy Silverado High Country 10.02.2026 7:47
How do you feel like a luxurious cowboy while rolling around in a truck? Check out the Chevy Silverado High Country and you'll find out quickly. Big truck. Big engine. Big tech. Big comfort. Listen to my review as heard on "The High-Tech Texan Show" on iHeartRadio.
Auto Review: 2026 Nissan Kicks 30.01.2026 7:10
A relatively small SUV but packs a lot of fun, zippiness, and very good gas mileage. Listen to my full review as heard on "The High-Tech Texan Show on iHeartRadio.
Auto Review: 2026 GMC Sierra 1500 ATX 22.01.2026 9:43
If you're seeking a pick up truck that has swag, motion (I learned that one from my son), comfort and tech features, AND capable of rolling with the great outdoors, the AT4X version of the GMC Sierra. Listen to my review of this bad boy here, as heard on "The High-Tech Texan Show" on iHeartRadio.
Auto Review: 2026 Infiniti QX60 Autograph 12.01.2026 7:06
A luxury SUV that is practical, handles well, has a lot of sweet tech features, and decent gas mileage. That pretty much sums up the high-end package of Infiniti's QX60. Listen to my full review as heard on "The High-Tech Texan Show on iHeartRadio.
Auto Review: 2026 Ram 1500 Limited Longhorn 07.01.2026 8:07
I don't believe there is a vehicle on the road today that shouts "Texas!" than the Ram 1500 Limited Longhorn. Yes the badging gives that away but once inside you can literally smell the real leather and wood, and see the deep stitching and upgrades that make this big ride (HEMI 5.7L V8) seem like a luxury SUV. Listen to my full review as heard on "The High-Tech Texan Show"...
Auto Review: 2026 Nissan Murano Platinum 29.12.2025 6:44
The Murano is Nissan's luxury mid-size SUV - a solid choice of a vehicle that combines sweet features with good pick up (241 hp). Upgrade to the Platinum badge and you've got one of the nicest vehicles in the category. Listen to my full review as heard on "The High-Tech Tech Texan Show" on iHeartRadio.
Auto Review: 2026 Kia Carnival Hybrid SX Prestige 20.12.2025 6:32
Yes, I also review minivans. Whether you think they are sexy or not, they are incredibly useful should you schlep several people or kids. And they continue to drive just as smooth as some cars along with luxurious features. The new Kia Carnival brings that luxury but I also appreciate the gas mileage on the hybrid version. Listen to my full review as heard on "The High-Tech Tech Texan Show&qu...
Auto Review: 2026 Nissan Leaf Platinum+ 17.12.2025 8:45
Yes, the Nissan Leaf is still rolling and Nissan did a really nice job of reimagining one of the original EVs. Gone is the quirky hatchback and new, sculptured look. With a range of at least 260 miles, this is one to look at and also drive. Listen to my review as heard on "The High-Tech Texan Show" on iHeartRadio.
Auto Review: 2026 Kia Sportage Hybrid SX-Prestige 07.12.2025 7:15
You know I love hybrid vehicles and the new Sportage from Kia doesn't disappoint. The price is right for this compact SUV yet loaded with tech and comfy features. Listen to my review as heard on "The High-Tech Texan Show" on iHeartRadio.
Auto Review: 2026 Infiniti QX80 Sport 30.11.2025 7:47
Infiniti's grandaddy of them all. The seven-passenger SUV that costs over $100,000, but actually could be worth it. Tech, comfort, style, handling, and more. Whew! Listen to my review as heard on "The High-Tech Texan Show" on iHeartRadio.
Auto Review : 2026 Kia GT-Line Long Range 17.11.2025 7:40

Auto Review: 2026 Nissan Armada Platinum Reserve 10.11.2025 9:56

Auto Review: 2025 RAM 2500 Rebel Crew Cab 4x4 03.11.2025 8:42
Big trucks. That's what we do in Texas. RAM is most always a solid choice but slap on a Rebel badge and everything goes to the next level - luxury, leather, price, etc... Listen to my full review as heard on "The High-Tech Texan Show" on iHeartRadio.
Auto Review: 2025 Jeep Wagoneer S Limited 4xE 31.10.2025 7:42
4xE used to mean a plug-in hybrid vehicle but Jeep is changing that. The Wagoneer S is all battery now and gets 93 MPGe, while offering a luxury feel and a solid drive. Listen to my full review as heard on "The High-Tech Texan Show" on iHeartRadio.
