Episode 257: 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee L, 2024 Chevrolet Silverado EV, 2022 Toyota Corolla Cross, Guest Stephen Elmer
Sami and Benjamin flaunt their social circle by bringing in Truck King's Stephen Elmer for this week's recording. The trio first discuss the 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee L, which is Jeeps third new 3-row crossover after the Grand Wagoneer and less-grand 'Wagoneer.' Steve then brings up his interests and concerns about the future of the 2024 Chevrolet Silverado EV. Is an all-electric work truck a good or bad idea? How about one that weighs 7,000 lbs? Finally the guys force Sami to talk about the new 2022 Toyota Corolla Cross, and find out if its a worthy addition to the crowded subcompact crossover segment, or just another humdrum product. Listen right here!

Show Notes
It's time for another great guest host. Sami and Benjamin are joined by the one and only Stephen Elmer from the Truck King YouTube channel. First the three discuss the new 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee L, where the L stands for "Third Row," a phrase which doesn't contain a single L within it. Or maybe it stands for "Premium Interior," another statement without the 12th letter of the alphabet. It could also stand for "Baby Wagoneer" or "Bigger Cherokee," but you'll have to listen to the whole episode to get the real scoop on this longer wheelbase, family-friendly Jeep.
Then our guest Stephen Elmer brings up the recently revealed 2024 Chevrolet Silverado EV, its Avalanche-inspired design, Hummer-derived powertrain, house-capable tow rating, and girthy price spread. Is the world ready for these electric truck wars? Are the roads ready? Are the charging stations ready? (Probably no to all those questions)
Finally, the guys get Sami to talk about the 2022 Toyota Corolla Cross, a subcompact crossover that will make you forget about the Japanese automaker's previous effort in that segment (the lamented C-HR).
