About GT: Garage Talk®
We’re Cory, Holli, and Tucker, the Texas family behind GT: Garage Talk. In fact, as award-winning automotive journalists and everyday drivers, we test SUVs, trucks, EVs, and the occasional supercar against real life, real kids, and real adventures. Above all, our goal is simple: honest, practical car content that helps your family choose its next vehicle. For this reason, every review answers one real question: does this vehicle work for your family?
How We Review Every Vehicle
Each week, we spend time with a new vehicle and then share it two ways. First, Cory hosts the overview, a deep dive into specs, pricing, trims, and how it drives. Holli then leads the family review, where we install car seats, load the cargo area, and check how the vehicle handles school runs and road trips. In addition, her Mom’s Vehicle Checklist scores the small details busy parents care about, from rear air vents to cup holders.
What You’ll Find on GT: Garage Talk
To begin with, browse our latest truck reviews, SUV reviews, and car reviews above, along with automotive news that matters to families. Meanwhile, you can follow our 2027 Chevrolet Silverado Custom Trail Boss through a full year of long-term testing, from daily driving to family tests, off-road runs, and upgrades. Finally, our Female Consumer section and Tucker’s Talk bring even more of our family into the conversation.
Watch, Read, and Stay Connected
Almost every written review is paired with a video on our YouTube channel so that you can see each vehicle in action. Also, want our newest stories in your inbox? Then sign up for our newsletter using the form at the bottom of this page.
