The second is a 2003 4×4 Chevy Silverado 2500HD. A 6.6L Duramax Diesel with an automatic transmission, this truck, described in the post as 'simply a utility pickup' does not have a box, pump or tools. It currently has 42,201 miles on it with 2,940.5 hours of service, which will not increase as the vehicle has been taken out of service. The asking price is $20,000.
Those interested in purchasing either vehicle or seeking more information can contact the department through Facebook or by email at info@kingwoodvfd.com.

GMC Hummer EV outsold the Tesla Cybertruck last quarter
Sales of Tesla's Cybertruck have plummeted from their peak last year, to the point that the hulking (and expensive) GMC Hummer EV outsold the polarizing steel-clad curiosity in the second quarter. Tesla sold just 4,306 Cybertrucks in the second quarter, just shy of the 4,508 Hummers that GMC moved in the same period, according to new data from Cox Automotive. Both were beat by Ford's F-150 Lightning, which once again became the best-selling electric truck in the U.S. in the first quarter, beating out the Cybertruck. But even Ford's offering is struggling; the 5,842 Lightnings sold in Q2 was the lowest quarterly total for the company in over a year. To be fair, the GMC Hummer tally includes sales of both the pickup truck and its SUV variant, although there is very little that differentiates the two. Put another way, the SUV version of the Hummer EV still more closely resembles a truck than it does a typical sport utility vehicle. Rivian has also been struggling with its own electric truck, the R1T. The company sold just 1,752 of them last quarter, down from 3,309 in the same period last year. But the Cybertruck has had the biggest fall from grace by far. After handing over the first few units in December 2023, the company started selling them in earnest in early 2024. Sales shot up to a high of nearly 17,000 in the third quarter of 2024, but fell just as quickly, as seen in the chart above. Whether that fall was due to the brand damage wrought by Elon Musk and his involvement with the Trump administration, or the fact that the Cybertruck is still far more expensive than the $40,000 price tag Tesla promised when it revealed the EV in 2019, is difficult to say. The company, at one point, predicted it would be making as many as 250,000 Cybertrucks a year, and now has a tremendous amount of unused capacity at its Texas factory as a result. As Musk once said about the shiny EV: 'we dug our own grave with Cybertruck.'

The Most Powerful Rolls-Royce Ever Went Purple at Goodwood
While carmakers sent their latest rides up the Goodwood Hill Climb, the Rolls-Royce Spectre Black Badge kept a relatively low profile in the Stable Yard. But there was no escaping its stunning paint job. The standard Spectre, Rolls-Royce's first fully electric coupe, already blends silent power with effortless grace. But the Black Badge version takes that formula and cranks up the attitude. Finished in a striking shade of Vapour Violet, inspired by retro club culture, it was a proper head-turner. It's also the most powerful car Rolls-Royce has ever built. The Spectre Black Badge is more than an overpriced Tesla. Chief Executive Chris Brownridge calls it "the alter ego" of Rolls-Royce. New 23-inch forged wheels, a darkened Pantheon Grille with a glowing colored backplate, and blacked-out finishes across the Spirit of Ecstasy, badges, handles, and window surrounds make it abundantly clear this isn't an ordinary Rolls. Related: Rolls-Royce unveils details about its latest bespoke machine: the Black Badge Spectre Behind the serenity lies serious strength. With 650 hp and 793 lb-ft of torque, the Spectre Black Badge sprints from 0 to 60 mph in just 4.1 seconds. Rolls-Royce analyzed real-world driving data from select owners and found that they preferred short, powerful bursts of acceleration over sustained speed. That insight led to two new drive modes: Infinity Mode, which unlocks the car's full 650 hp and sharpens throttle response. And Spirited Mode, which is essentially launch control, releasing the full 793 lb-ft of torque for maximum acceleration. Even with all that muscle, the car remains effortlessly composed. Enhanced chassis dynamics, weightier steering, and revised damping join the Magic Carpet Ride to balance power with poise, like a true Rolls-Royce. Inside, the theatrics continue. The cabin is dressed in some of Rolls-Royce's most advanced materials yet, including a shimmering carbon and metal weave called Technical Fibre. It's laid by hand in a diamond pattern and polished to a mirror-like finish. The infinity symbol - a signature of Black Badge models - is stitched into the leather between the rear seats, while over 5,500 stars light up the dash in a cosmic display. Drivers can even personalize their dials with bold color themes through the SPIRIT system. It perfectly encapsulates its high-tech, high-drama persona. The Spectre Black Badge isn't just the most powerful Rolls-Royce ever made; it's the boldest. At Goodwood, it left a lasting impression. Copyright 2025 The Arena Group, Inc. All Rights Reserved.
