  <description>&lt;p&gt;The Unnamed Automotive Podcast powers through some troublesome false starts this week to tackle a tough topic: the 2025 Ford F-150 With the PowerBoost Hybrid powertrain. Featuring more power than the Ford Raptor (but not the R) this is a truck with plenty of giddy-up, and some extra features that are worth getting excited about. Benjamin details everything he's gone through with this truck including using its external generator feature, its hands-free driving assistance, and its punchy engine. Plus the guys get goofy talking about tailgates. Thanks for listening! &lt;/p&gt;

  <itunes:subtitle>Guest Chad Kirchner tells us all about driving exotic Nissan trucks like the Patrol, the Terra, and the Navarra in the desert in Morocco, and compares them to the Nissan Titan, which he also pounded sand with. The trio then discuss the 2018 Ford F-150 Diesel for a mega-truck episode.</itunes:subtitle>

  <description>&lt;p&gt;What's it like to be whisked off to exotic Morocco and given the keys to Nissan's entire global fleet of off-roaders? Guest Chad Kirchner shares his story of scorpions, Titans, Terras, and Patrols bashing through the dunes, and also discusses the differences between the Nissan Navarra and the Frontier pickup that is sold in North America. Benjamin, Sami, and Chad also discuss the 2018 Ford F-150 Diesel and compare it to the Ram EcoDiesel to try and figure out just how frugal the Blue Oval's efficiency-focused truck really is. *Rebroadcast from 2018 &lt;/p&gt;

  <description>&lt;p&gt;What's in a plug? First up Benjamin describes his time with the 2023 Ford F-150 Lightning EV, a fully electric pickup truck with a number of handy features than he had to test out. Can the Lightning power up a stranded EV? Sami begs Benjamin to tell us if the future of electric trucks bleak or promising.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Then Sami talks about a pair of plug-in hybrid crossovers. The 2023 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV has been a face in this segment for a long long long time, and has been renewed with Nissan bones. The 2023 Kia Sportage PHEV is a bit less familiar, but has a few interesting changes compared to the similar Hyundai Tucson PHEV. Weight, seating, and other charging gimmicks help differentiate these two, but Sami comes down with an interesting verdict when it comes to summing these rides up. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Thanks for listening, don't forget to subscribe or get in touch with the guys on our website or through social! &lt;/p&gt;

  <itunes:subtitle>Can you endure one more week of Benjamin talking about EVs? We start with his experience in the wild new BMW i4 M50, which boasts over 500 horsepower and even more torque. Benjamin calls it insanely fast, but do all of the changes to this electrified 4 Series work cohesively? Then Sami jumps in to talk about the recent happenings throughout the automotive industry, including EV towing ranges, Toyota warranty denials, and two new pickups from Ford and Chevy.</itunes:subtitle>

  <description>&lt;p&gt;Benjamin discusses his time in the 2022 BMW i4, and not just any ole i4, but the M50 version with incredible performance metrics. You'll want to hear all the details about how this EV-converted 4 Series feels on the road, and whether it follows the same mantra as BMWs other electric vehicle, the iX.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;From there the duo dive into a variety of topics including the shockingly bad range of electric pickups when they're towing, according to some tests done over at MotorTrend with the new F-150 Lightning. The pair then discuss a racing-related Toyota GR86 warranty denial, before getting to a pair of all new pickups from Ford and Chevy. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;You'll want to hear all the news, information and inside jokes this week and beyond, so don't forget to subscribe to get more. &lt;/p&gt;

  <itunes:subtitle>Benjamin drive's Kia's first all-wheel drive sedan, the 2021 Kia K5 GT-Line, and wonders why it doesn't get the top-shelf turbo engine. Sami gets excited about the (finally) re-designed 2022 Nissan Fronter, before talk of the also-new 2021 Ford F-150 Raptor causes a big argument about off-road driver assistance systems. Finally, the pair get weird with Subaru's forgotten flat-12 Formula 1 engine</itunes:subtitle>

  <description>&lt;p&gt;Did you know Subaru built a flat-12 engine for its forgotten Formula 1 racing program in the early 90s? More on that at the end of the episode, because first Benjamin has to shake out his ambivalence at the 2021 Kia K5 GT-Line AWD and its ho-hum drivetrain, and Sami needs to wax ecstatic about the (finally) redesigned 2022 Nissan Frontier mid-size pickup. In between. there's an argument about the 2021 Ford F-150 Raptor and just how useful off-road driver assistance features really are. &lt;/p&gt;

  <description>&lt;p&gt;What happens when an automaker imports a truck from another market with only cursory attention paid towards tuning it for its new customers? Benjamin's experience with the 2020 Ford Ranger reveals weaknesses in the interior, the drivetrain, and the pricing structure of the brand's new mid-size truck. Sami then discusses the relative merits of going for the 2020 Toyota RAV4's TRD Off-Road trim or sticking with the established 2020 Subaru Forester when shopping for a small crossover. The pair also discuss the details of the redesigned 2021 Ford F-150, which for some reason features a folding shifter. &lt;/p&gt;

  <description>&lt;p&gt;The Miata finally has more power - but is it in the right place? Sami drives the 2019 Mazda MX-5 Miata long the California coast to get the answers. Meanwhile, Benjamin gets behind the wheel of the also-more-mighty 2019 Toyota Corolla Hatchback, redesigned for the current model year, as well as the 2018 BMW 430i Gran Coupe, which might be the best option for entry-level luxury shoppers. Wrapping things up, Sami road trips in the 2018 Ford F-150 Limited and the 2018 Ram 1500 Limited in a battle of the best full-size pickups. &lt;/p&gt;
