Despite its size and practicality, the Ford F-150 is classed as a “light-duty” half-ton class truck. This isn’t a label Ford slapped on there; it’s actually a government specification. The F-150’s gross vehicle weight rating is under 8,500 pounds, hence its designation. The F-250, on the other hand, is above that threshold and classed as a three-quarter ton, heavy-duty truck.
The differences go far beyond classification. The F-150 is far more practical for everyday life and can provide a more comfortable and stable ride at highway speeds. It’s also smaller and less of a pain to drive around cities. Although fuel economy is probably low on the list of priorities for truck owners, it is more efficient than the F-250. The smaller truck is packing some variety of eco-boost V6, while the F-250 will likely have a large V8 PowerStroke engine.
At the top end, the F250 has a 6.7-liter engine capable of producing 475 horsepower and 1,050 pound-foot of torque. The best an F-150 can manage is a high-output eco boost that can almost match the horsepower of the F-250 but only packs around half the torque.
Where the F-250 excels is on the job. It is a larger vehicle with more torque, horsepower, and robust suspension. As a result, it can tow more and handle a larger payload than its little brother. F-150 owners know their vehicle is pretty handy when it comes to hauling and carrying things — so the F-250 is likely overkill for the majority of drivers.
Remote control (RC) cars are miniature versions of actual vehicles that provide automotive fun on a smaller scale. A video showcases the impressive off-road capabilities of these pint-sized machines during an off-road event.
At first glance, it’s hard to distinguish these RC models from the real ones. The video starts with a Jeep Commanche crawling over rocks and wood beams. There’s also a Traxxas Sport pickup truck and an original Land Rover Range Rover, both covered in dirt and mud, just like their full-sized counterparts.
The highlight of the video is a Lada Niva RC SUV maneuvering through various terrains, equipped with recovery boards and miniature off-road gear on the roof. The driver skillfully controls the tiny vehicle, navigating a narrow path on wood beams and conquering large, loose rocks. The suspension articulation and the tires struggling for grip are clearly visible, demonstrating the impressive performance of these RC rock crawlers. And unlike a real SUV, if the miniature Niva tips over, it’s as simple as picking it up and continuing the off-roading adventure.
After showcasing the Niva, the video features other vehicles, including several Land Rover Defenders and Jeep Wranglers. One of the Defenders even has fake exhaust pipes producing smoke, adding to the scale realism. There’s even a Jeep Wrangler with an action figure seated in the driver’s seat, adding a touch of playfulness to the off-road experience.
RC enthusiasts have a wide range of off-road-ready vehicles to choose from, although they can be quite expensive. For example, a previous video covered a five-axle low-loader semi-trailer RC model with a price tag of approximately $6,000. Similarly, there are options like the Kabolite Liebherr 350 excavator priced at around $3,450 or the LESU Liebherr loader costing about $2,885.
Other options for RC enthusiasts include models like the three-axle, six-wheeled Unimog, although it’s worth noting that some offerings may have been discontinued by the manufacturers.
The Cricut Joy offers more than just its compact size and ability to handle a wide range of materials. One of its standout features is the “print and cut” option, allowing you to precisely cut around images printed by your inkjet printer. This makes it perfect for creating stickers and decals. To enhance your creative possibilities even further, you can combine the cutter with other Cricut products such as the Cricut Joy Foil Transfer Tool, pens, and markers.
The Cricut Joy Xtra will be officially launched on September 7. It will be priced at £219.99 in the U.K. and $199 in the United States, and you can purchase it directly from Cricut’s website. Hobbycraft also offers a bundle that includes compatible materials and accessories. While the Cricut Joy is a practical and versatile tool, it is not the most unique product that Cricut has ever released. In the past, they even sold a machine capable of printing intricate designs on cakes.
Finding the right tire for your car goes beyond just picking the correct size. Numerous manufacturers produce a variety of options with unique benefits and detriments. Not all tires are created equal, and a new video pits the recently launched Bridgestone Potenza Race tire against two other family members – the Potenza Sport and the Potenza RE-71RS.
In this test, the Potenza Sport is considered the mainstream tire designed for most people and most driving situations, competing with the Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires. On the other hand, the Potenza Race is the sportier tire that combines the experience of the Sport and the RE-71RS into one.
The Potenza Sport provided crisp and dynamic steering in the Honda Civic Si without much road noise. However, compared to the Potenza Race tire, it felt sluggish during the test, according to reviewer Jonathan Benson.
Initially, Benson was disappointed with the Race tire, a rival of the Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2, because it felt sluggish at speeds under 20 miles per hour but performed well at 30 mph and above. However, he found it difficult to find anything to criticize about the tire as Bridgestone kept the noise, vibration, and harshness in check without sacrificing comfort compared to the Potenza Sport.
The European Union label supports these findings, indicating that the Race tire has a slightly lower decibel rating than the Sport tire. The Race tires are as comfortable as the Sport tires but slightly stiffer when driving over harsher road imperfections.
According to Benson, the Potenza RE-71RS is lovely to drive but not suitable for everyday use. Bridgestone designed this tire to maximize lap times, even though it’s road-legal.
The Potenza Sport is not the best tire for the track as it doesn’t perform well under hard pushing. It tends to heat up quickly, resulting in slower lap times and increased degradation. On the other hand, the Potenza Race tires take some time to heat up on the track but provide a pleasant driving experience. The RE-71RS also heats up quickly and performs well on the track.
These compact sedans match the similarly priced SUVs in terms of size, performance, and features, while delivering the elegance of owning a sedan
In a budget of Rs 20 lakh, there are a plethora of upmarket SUV options available, but far less sedans to choose from. In fact, even if you increased your budget cap to Rs 30 lakh, you will not have any new choices for a sedan. While these cars are a dying shape in the mass market, they are still the primary choice of some due to their comfort, big boot, driving dynamics, and elegant styling.
So, these are the five premium sedans priced below Rs 20 lakh that you can get instead of something with added seats or more ground clearance:
Honda City
Price
Rs 11.57 lakh to Rs 16.05 lakh
Rs 18.89 lakh to Rs 20.39 lakh
Engine
1.5-litre petrol
1.5-litre strong-hybrid
Power/Torque
121PS / 145Nm
126PS / 253Nm
Transmissions
6-speed MT / CVT
e-CVT
Feature Highlights
8-inch touchscreen system, 7-inch digital driver’s display, wireless phone charger, electric sunroof, ambient lighting
Safety Feature Highlights
Up to six airbags, ISOFIX child seat mounts, TPMS, rear camera, lane watch camera, ADAS
Honda City is the oldest running nameplate in this space and is well known for its reliability. Currently in its fifth-generation, the City is still the benchmark when it comes to in-cabin quality and comfort.
It’s the only sedan in its segment to get the option of a strong-hybrid powertrain, which claims an efficiency of up to 27.13kmpl. The top-end hybrid option is costlier than the top-end variants of rivals by up to Rs 3 lakh, but the high mileage will keep the daily running costs significantly lower.
Interestingly, the Honda City is equipped with basic ADAS features from the lower-level V variant, which is priced just at Rs 12.45 lakh (ex-showroom), and a lot more affordable than any ADAS-equipped rival.
Volkswagen Virtus
Price
Rs 11.48 lakh to Rs 18.77 lakh
Engine
1-litre turbo-petrol
1.5-litre turbo-petrol
Power/Torque
115PS / 178Nm
150PS / 250Nm
Transmissions
6-speed MT / 6-speed AT
6-speed MT / 7-speed DCT
Feature Highlights
10-inch touchscreen system, 8-inch digital driver’s display, electric sunroof, ventilated front seats, wireless charger
Safety Feature Highlights
Up to six airbags, ISOFIX child seat mounts, TPMS, rear camera
The Volkswagen Virtus is a more feature-rich and larger successor to the Vento. The sedan is classy and sporty to look at, packs the punch for a spirited drive, and flaunts a premium in-cabin experience, delivering the expectations you would have from a German auto brand.
Virtus offers the best-in-class safety with a 5-star crash test rating for both adult and child occupants. However, it does miss out on ADAS, which is available on the Honda City and Hyundai Verna.
Skoda Slavia
Price
Rs 11.39 lakh to Rs 18.68 lakh
Engine
1-litre turbo-petrol
1.5-litre turbo-petrol
Power/Torque
115PS / 178Nm
150PS / 250Nm
Transmissions
6-speed MT / 6-speed AT
6-speed MT / 7-speed DCT
Feature Highlights
10-inch touchscreen system, 8-inch digital driver’s display, electric sunroof, ventilated front seats, wireless charger
Safety Feature Highlights
Up to six airbags, ISOFIX child seat mounts, TPMS, rear camera
The Skoda Slavia came in as a bigger and more powerful and premium replacement to the Rapid. It is a sibling offering to the Virtus with many commonalities under the different metal skin. The premium quotient here is much in line with the Octavia, which was positioned a segment-above.
It shares the stage with the Virtus in being the safest car of India, securing high scores and five stars each for child and adult occupant protection as tested by Global NCAP. However, this sedan also lacks the option of ADAS on any variant.
Dual 10.25-inch screens for touchscreen system and instrument cluster, 64-colour ambient lighting, electric sunroof, ventilated and heated front seats, wireless charger
Safety Feature Highlights
Six airbags, ISOFIX child seat mounts, TPMS, ADAS, rear camera
The new Hyundai Verna undercuts the German sedans for entry pricing but it is a more feature-rich and spacious offering. Its turbo-petrol option makes it the most powerful sedan in its class.
While the safety features are at par with its rivals, Verna is the only car after the City to get the ADAS safety suite.
Maruti Ciaz
Price
Rs 9.30 lakh to Rs 12.29 lakh
Engine
1.5-litre petrol
Power/Torque
105PS / 138Nm
Transmissions
5-speed MT / 4-speed AT
Feature Highlights
7-inch touchscreen system, automatic LED headlights, automatic AC, push button start, cruise control
Safety Feature Highlights
Dual front airbags, ISOFIX child seat mounts, rear camera, ESP, hill hold assist
The Maruti Ciaz is the most affordable compact sedan right now, but also the most outdated one. However, don’t let its affordability trick you into thinking of it as a sedan compromised by pricing. It gets a humble 1.5-litre petrol engine with the option of an age-old 4-speed torque converter automatic. This powertrain is not exactly punchy, but certainly quite economical.
Compared to its rivals, the Ciaz is slightly smaller in terms of length and width but still has a fairly spacious cabin. While being equipped with necessary features, it misses out on many feel-good elements like an electric sunroof, ventilated front seats, and a wireless charger. Safety is also low with the absence of six airbags and tyre pressure monitoring system.
However, in terms of design, the Ciaz has aged gracefully without any major updates to the outside and it still offers a great value proposition as a comfy and accommodating sedan.
Earlier, there were a lot more premium sedans to choose from. Without having to enter the luxury space or spend north of Rs 30 lakh, you could go for the likes of Toyota Corolla Altis, Hyundai Elantra, Skoda Octavia, and Honda Civic. However, none of these monikers remain today and only one is expected to return (the Octy).
In today’s mid-size sedan segment, the compact sedans have filled in their shoes by offering a similar experience. The performance, dimensions, features, and the premium quotient of these compact sedans are now somewhat at par with sedans a segment above.
Razer has introduced the Kishi V2 Pro Controller for Android, which comes with an Xbox variant. The controller boasts universal compatibility for phones of all sizes, thanks to its extendable bridge feature. It also includes passthrough charging and a 3.5mm headphone jack, which makes sense considering its connection to the phone is through the USB or Lightning port.
The Xbox Edition version of the controller is specifically designed for subscribers of Xbox Game Pass. This is because Microsoft’s cloud-based game streaming platform enables users to play major titles on less capable devices, like smartphones.
Prior to this release, the Pro version of the Kishi controller was only available with the Razer Edge, which is the company’s handheld gaming console similar to the Steam Deck and Nintendo Switch.
The Android version of the Xbox Edition controller is priced at $149.99, while the iPhone version is listed at $119.99. The non-Xbox version of the Pro controller for Android, which does not feature the Xbox button, is $20 cheaper.
Gas Gas does not produce a 500cc two-stroke motorcycle, but that is about to change. In this week’s 2-Stroke Tuesday, Charles Lytle from mXrevival explains how he is making that happen and how you can enter to win this exact motorcycle. Scroll to the bottom of this post for more information on the bike giveaway.
Two-stroke motorcycles are cool. There is something special about their slim design, aggressive stance, and unique exhaust systems. They are undeniably badass. But mXrevival believes they can make them even cooler. Their goal is not just to build bikes, but to custom build them for customers and give them away as prizes.
We build incredible bikes for you to win. “
Their current project is the 2023 Gas Gas MC250 Bike Build & Giveaway, which is currently in progress. But now they are introducing the new MC500 two-stroke monster, named “HELFYRE”. This bike is equipped with a brand new BRC Racing engine.
The 500cc engine easily fits into the chassis of late model two-strokes. It has an exhaust valve for that classic two-stroke power and is counter-balanced to reduce vibrations. And of course, it has an electric start for convenience.
In terms of the chassis, the AER air forks have been replaced with a fully reworked suspension, including a Technical Touch spring conversion by AHM Factory Services. This provides better performance and durability. The bike also features custom Cearakoted clamps from Fast Blast & Coat and Brembo brakes with a fresh coat of Cerakote.
If you want to win this incredible MC500 build, you can enter on the mXrevival website. By entering, you also support OMC Raceway, a motorcycle club that has been around for generations.
mXrevival is not just about building bikes, they also believe in supporting worthy charities. They are sincerely grateful for your support.
If you’re encountering a file size restriction on your Android device, there’s a simple workaround: enable Rich Communication Services (RCS). This messaging feature for Android is akin to the iMessage app on iPhones. Instead of using SMS/MMS, RCS uses Wi-Fi to bypass the mobile provider. However, RCS may not be available on older Android phones or with carriers that do not support it. Currently, only a few texting apps support RCS.
To enable RCS in Google Messages, follow these steps:
Open the Google Messages app or download it from the Google Play Store if you don’t have it.
Tap the user icon in the top right corner.
Select Messages Settings from the drop-down menu.
Tap the RCS Chats option (listed as Chat Features on some phones).
Toggle on the RCS Chats setting.
If you have a Galaxy smartphone, you can use RCS messaging in Samsung Messages, but the process is a bit more complicated. First, ensure that your carrier supports the advanced messaging feature (RCS) in the Samsung app. To check if it’s enabled:
Open the Samsung Messages app.
Tap the three vertical dots.
Tap Settings.
Look for Chat Settings — if it’s grayed out, it means your carrier doesn’t support RCS in the Samsung app. If it’s not grayed out, RCS is available in Samsung Messages.
By activating RCS, you’ll be able to send files with a file size of up to 100 MB. However, for RCS to work properly, both you and the recipient need to have the feature enabled. Additionally, you might need to disable your phone’s built-in power-saving feature for RCS to function smoothly.
Sub-Compact SUVs, like the Kia Sonet, could gain popularity in the U.S. due to its size, versatility, and practicality, appealing to a wide range of buyers.

In terms of transmission, Kia has provided a wide array of choices, which include a five-speed manual, a six-speed manual, a six-speed torque converter automatic, a seven-speed DCT (dual-clutch transmission), and a six-speed iMT (intelligent manual transmission), similar to what’s offered in the Venue. Notably, a six-speed automatic option is available for the diesel engine.
Exterior Styling
The exterior of the Kia Sonet exudes a premium feel with carefully crafted touches throughout. The top-of-the-line GT Line variant, which features striking red inserts, adding a dynamic flair to the car’s appearance. Emphasizing its rugged appeal, the grille boasts a sleek and chrome-free design. The headlamps, equipped with LEDs, emanate a modern and sharp aesthetic, while the fog lamps showcase elegant piano black housings.
The side profile of the Sonet continues the muscular theme, with attention-grabbing 16″ alloy wheels stealing the spotlight. Kia has truly mastered the art of designing alloy wheels, evident in their exquisite craftsmanship and attention to detail, which elevates the vehicle’s overall appeal. The Kia Sonet’s exterior design showcases a perfect balance of premium elements and rugged charm, particularly in the GT Line variant, making it a visually captivating and distinctive option in the compact SUV segment.

The Kia Sonet boasts a premium interior, creating an overall pleasant ambiance in the cabin. Depending on the trim chosen, you can enjoy either dual-tone interior or a sleek full black theme with striking red stitching, particularly in the GT Line variant. The dashboard design is ergonomic and user-friendly, while the steering wheel design resembles that of the Seltos, exuding a sense of familiarity.
The front seats are a highlight, offering exceptional comfort and ample space. They feature well-designed bolsters and provide adequate support for long journeys. However, while the rear seats are nicely contoured, the Sonet falls slightly short in rear space. Legroom is comparable to that of the Venue, but taller passengers might experience some limitations as your knees could brush against the front seatbacks if occupied by a tall passenger.
The Kia Sonet boasts a large and impressive 10.25-inch HD screen adorning its dashboard, similar to its counterpart, the Seltos. This screen offers UVO connectivity options, enabling live traffic information and Over-The-Air (OTA) map updates, enhancing the vehicle’s navigation capabilities. Additionally, a wireless smartphone charger with cooling function has been seamlessly integrated, ensuring convenient charging on the go.
Kia

Notably, the Sonet comes equipped with an Air purifier featuring Virus protect technology, emphasizing Kia’s commitment to passenger well-being and comfort. The vehicle matches the Hyundai Venue in terms of equipment and then goes a step further, offering extra features such as a seven-speaker Bose sound system and ventilated front seats for both the driver and front passenger. Furthermore, the Sonet includes a Tire Pressure Monitoring System and cruise control to enhance the driving experience.
While the Sonet offers an array of advanced features, it does miss out on a 360-degree camera. Nevertheless, the package does include a one-touch sunroof, adding a touch of luxury to the overall driving experience. The Sonet impresses with its comprehensive and innovative features, making it an appealing choice in the competitive compact SUV market.
Despite the spatial constraints, Kia ensures the rear passengers’ comfort with thoughtful amenities, such as dedicated AC vents and a USB charging socket. While the Sonet may not be the most spacious in its class, its premium interior and attention to passenger comfort make it an appealing choice in the compact SUV segment.
Kia
A shot of the Kia Seltos in the City
The Kia Sonet’s success lies in its ability to replicate the winning formula of its larger sibling, the Seltos, in a more compact form. It impressively shares almost all the Seltos’ features, many of which are rare to find at this price point. Additionally, although it may not really find many takers in the United States, the Seltos offers an excellent 1.5 diesel engine with a choice of a manual or torque-converter automatic gearbox. The diesel automatic variant, in particular, stands out as the best powertrain, delivering a smooth and efficient performance, making the Sonet feel like a more premium and larger vehicle.
Despite its successes, the Sonet does have some limitations. Similar to the Hyundai Venue, its back seat lacks the spaciousness offered by some rivals, and the ride can feel slightly choppy. Additionally, the handling dynamics may not be as engaging as some would hope. Nevertheless, the Kia Sonet strikes an impressive balance among compact SUVs, offering a loaded feature set and outstanding versatility. If you seek a compact vehicle that can handle various tasks with ease and comes packed with features, the Sonet remains a top choice.

The Kia Sonet has undoubtedly made a strong impact in the compact SUV market with its winning combination of style, features, and performance. With a diverse range of engine options and transmission choices, it caters to various driving preferences and needs. Its premium interiors, loaded with advanced technology and comfort features, provide a delightful driving experience.
While some limitations exist in terms of rear space and handling dynamics, the Sonet X-Line Special Edition showcases the best version yet, with distinctive exterior styling touches and a refined interior. If Kia were to introduce the Sonet to the U.S. market, it would seamlessly fill the gap between the Kia Soul and the Seltos, offering American consumers another compelling choice in the highly sought-after compact SUV segment.
Radio-controlled vehicles offer a downsized version of the automotive experience. They come in a range of prices, with some models being more complex and feature-rich than others. The RC rigs showcased in the video above go beyond mere replicas of dump trucks, excavators, semis, and other big rigs by incorporating intricate details.
The level of detail in some of these machines is remarkable. Many of them include functioning lights to enhance their realism, but that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Some vehicles even have illuminated dashboards and center screens, while their engine and reverse sounds mimic the actual noise produced by hard-working electric motors. In fact, some clips in the video sound like an actual construction site.
However, such detailed RC rigs come at a cost, with most models ranging well over $1,000. For example, the five-axle low-loader semi-trailer featured at 6:40 in the video retails for €5,512 ($6,004 at today’s exchange rates). This trailer is equipped with a front-end storage box, sunken lashing and anchorage eyes, fold-out chassis extensions, as well as complete wiring with rear lights and side markers.
Not everything in the video is as expensive though. The JDM-198 RTR loader shown at 5:25 is relatively cheaper, retailing for $2,241. The 1/14-scale articulated dump truck, available at 8:55 in the video, costs $2,052 on ToucanHobby.com. The Kabolite Liebhe 350 excavator featured at 3:30 falls in the middle range with a price tag of $3,456, while the LESU Lieghe loader, seen at 5:43, is an investment of $2,884 on the hobby website. However, it’s worth noting that the latter model comes unassembled and unpainted.
These hard-working RC rigs demonstrate the diverse range of car culture. Although they may not be the supercars that grace posters and magazine covers, they are equally awe-inspiring as functional machines. These scaled-down vehicles, even in 1/14-scale, are capable of performing tasks just like their real-world counterparts. The video showcases the excavators digging dirt and loading it into dump trucks that drive away, mirroring real-life construction scenarios.
While purchasing toys like these may not be feasible for everyone due to their high price point, there are always cheaper alternatives available. These alternatives may not have the same level of detail but still offer an enjoyable radio-controlled experience. The RC market caters to various budgets and extends beyond models, with options like RC engines and transmissions that celebrate the engineering found in modern automobiles.
