TFL Car Chat

( https://www.alltfl.com/ ) Check out our new spot to find ALL our content, from news to videos and our podcasts! In this episode of TFL Car Chat, Roman, Tommy and Kase tackle one of the most controversial questions in the off-road world right now: Is the new Toyota Land Cruiser a masterpiece or a massive disappointment?
After decades of the legendary 100 and 200 series, the Land Cruiser is back in the U.S., but it’s smaller and cheaper. Is it still a "Land Cruiser," or has it just become a fancy 4Runner? Instead of just reading a spec sheet, we spend the first half of the show behind the wheel, putting it through its paces in Andre’s Pit Course to see if the hardware actually lives up to the nameplate. We compare the real-world feel and articulation against the Ford Bronco and Jeep Wrangler to see if this "baby" Land Cruiser can actually hold its own when the pavement ends.

( https://www.alltfl.com/ ) Check out our new spot to find ALL our content, from news to videos and our podcasts! On this episode of TFL Car Chat, Roman and Tommy dive into one big question: Will the all-new 2027 Toyota Highlander actually sell? With the midsize SUV segment more competitive than ever, they break down what Toyota needs to get right, whether buyers are ready for major changes, and if the Highlander still has the magic that made it a family favorite for years.
Tommy also shares details from his recent first drive of the latest Mazda CX-5 and how it stacks up against the competition. The guys then take a hard look at Toyota’s growing EV strategy, discussing the brand’s full electric lineup — including models like the Toyota bZ and C-HR — and whether Toyota is finally all-in on battery power. Plus, they debate whether the buzzy Slate Truck has what it takes to survive in today’s brutal truck market.

( https://www.alltfl.com/ ) Check out our new spot to find ALL our content, from news to videos and our podcasts! On this episode of TFL Car Chat, Kase and Tommy get hands-on behind the wheel of the Ford Bronco Everglades and put it to the test on TFL’s off-road course. They break down how it performs in the real world—from trail capability and driving feel to daily usability, comfort, mods, and ownership considerations. They also dive into the latest off-road news, including highlights from King of the Hammers, talk about Nissan bringing back the Xterra, and share updates on their own current off-road builds.
This episode is a trial run for a potential new off-road–focused podcast, so let us know what you think. If you’re cross-shopping a Bronco vs. Wrangler—or already own one and want to see how it stacks up—this is the real-world comparison you’ve been waiting for.

( https://www.alltfl.com/ ) Check out our new spot to find ALL our content, from news to videos and our podcasts! Which three-row SUV actually gets it right? On this episode of TFL Car Chat, Roman and Tommy go hands-on with three of the hottest family haulers on the market: the Ford Explorer Tremor, Hyundai Palisade XRT, and Toyota Grand Highlander. Each promises space, comfort, and capability—but which one truly delivers when it matters most?
The guys break down interior space, tech, powertrains, driving feel, and real-world usability, while also digging into what makes each SUV stand out (or fall short). From light off-road credibility to road-trip comfort and everyday practicality, this is a head-to-head comparison you won’t want to miss if you’re shopping for a three-row SUV in 2025.

( https://www.alltfl.com/ ) Check out our new spot to find ALL our content, from news to videos and our podcasts! Jeep’s Wrangler has more competition than ever before—but is Jeep doing enough to keep it on top? In this episode of TFL Car Chat, Roman and Tommy break down what Jeep needs to change, fix, or completely rethink if it wants the Wrangler to stay relevant against a growing field of off-roaders and adventure SUVs. From pricing and powertrains to interior tech and reliability, nothing is off the table.
The guys dig into what rivals are doing better, where Jeep still dominates, and whether the Wrangler’s reputation alone is enough anymore. Is Jeep leaning too hard on nostalgia, or is there a smart path forward that keeps the Wrangler king of the trail and competitive on the road?
