12 of the coolest TV cars and trucks you probably forgot about
12 of the coolest TV cars and trucks you probably forgot about There are plenty of TV cars and trucks that have become pop culture staples, with superstars like K.I.T.T. and the A-Team van joining Magnum P.I.'s Ferrari 308 and the Testarossa from Miami Vice in the small-screen hall of fame. And yet so many other seemingly deserving television vehicles haven't enjoyed the same level of notoriety, for reasons ranging from the relative obscurity of their original programming to their somewhat smaller roles in larger productions. Here are our picks for 12 of the coolest TV cars and trucks you forgot about. Coyote X - 'Hardcastle and McCormick' There's been no better use of a kit car on the small screen than the Coyote X that served as the centerpiece of the mostly forgotten 1980s TV show Hardcastle and McCormick. Over the course of three seasons, this series tracked the exploits of a Los Angeles County judge named Hardcastle who leverages his friendship with hard-driving ex-con McCormick to dole out off-the-books justice. Predictably, this almost always involves a chase or two. McCormick's trusty steed was the Coyote, which, in the mythology of the show, was an advanced sports car that had been designed by his best friend. In reality, the Coyote was a bit of a mutt, borrowing its body bits from a fiberglass model of the McLaren M6GT (itself the road-going version of the automaker's Group 7 Can-Am car), set down on a Volkswagen Beetle frame. The latter was then the go-to choice for anyone seeking a modular rear-wheel-drive platform, and in the case of the Coyote X, motivation was provided by a borrowed four-cylinder Porsche 914 engine. Although the show has largely faded into the mists of time, it was possible to purchase a very similar kit car during roughly the same period called the Manta, which combined several styling cues seen on both the original McLaren and the Coyote X. After the first season, the show's producers moved to a DeLorean-based version of the Coyote, largely at the behest of their star, who complained about how difficult it was to clamber in and out of the original. 1982 GMC K2500 Sierra Grande - 'The Fall Guy' Forget about Ryan Gosling's recent turn in the movie of the same name and transport yourself back in time to the TV show that inspired it. Starting in 1981, every week audiences were treated to a Hollywood stuntman turned bounty hunter who chose the world's most ostentatious chariot to stalk his prey — a full-size square-body GMC. This was no ordinary K2500 Sierra Grande. In addition to the de facto lift kit outfitted to nearly every pickup of the era, main character Colton Seavers installed a feature that no modern standards and practices department would allow on a vehicle driven by the ostensible hero of a series: a holding cell. It turns out that dudes in vans offering free candy weren't the only rolling prisons pedestrians had to fear in the '80s, with Seavers' truck concealing an alarmingly claustrophobic and almost certainly illegal confinement coffin. More nostalgia from MotorTrend: The 10 dumbest cars of all time To distract you from just how creepy that entire concept is, showrunners made sure the GMC was airborne for as many minutes of screen time as possible per episode. To help facilitate all those sweet jumps, the Sierra was significantly modified to a mid-engine design, which made for more appropriate weight distribution when taking to the skies. Dodge Viper Concept - 'Viper' Car companies had a lot more leeway in the 1990s when it came to promoting their product lines. How else to explain the phenomenon that was Viper, a show that was conceived of, produced and bankrolled by Chrysler specifically to promote its supercar, while also stuffing nearly every background scene with Dodge, Plymouth and Eagle products? It would have been cool enough to simply make a Viper the star of the show, but Chrysler went way beyond that simple premise with the 'Defender,' a bulletproof, crime-fighting machine that transforms into a bog-standard Viper when not hunting down its prey on the streets of Metro City. With Terminator 2 having just decimated the box office, it only makes sense that Chrysler would go all in on VFX morphing technology to give its show additional edge. Absolutely everything about Viper was ridiculous — and extremely cool. It's often been said that the only way to stop crime is to give a man a V-10-powered roadster, even if that man has had all of his memories erased and replaced with the personality of a fictional police officer (a wildly unnecessary layer of complication that would be welcome in our current period of boring procedurals). Viper is also notable for being one of the few shows to have its star car undergo a generational update during the course of the series, with the RT/10 eventually replaced by a Viper GTS, uh, hovercraft in its last season. 1976 Ford Mustang Cobra II - 'Charlie's Angels' Moving on from one of the coolest sports cars to have ever graced American roads to no doubt the lamest, we come to the Charlie's Angels entry on our list of TV cars and trucks you forgot about. In this case, the memory hole is entirely understandable, as the Ford Mustang Cobra II is a model we all wish could be expunged from the collective consciousness. It's hard to count how many ways the Pinto-platform Mustang II was a disappointment. Consider its chunky styling, its econocar roots, and of course its anemic, smog-choked drivetrain which could barely muster 122 horsepower in 1976, even in top-snake Cobra II trim. And yet it was made a star for a brief shining moment, thanks to its proximity to the '70s zeitgeist. Charlie's Angels was a huge hit, and with Farrah Fawcett behind the wheel for an appreciable number of episodes, the Mustang Cobra II overcame its inherent flaws to bask in reflected glamour. 1979 Dodge Macho Power Wagon - 'Simon & Simon' Big pickups were a television staple in the 1980s, and if you weren't catching up on re-runs of The Fall Guy, chances were you were tuning into Simon & Simon to get your full-size fix. The show, which relied on the will-they-won't-they-fist-fight chemistry between a pair of private detective brothers, leaned hard on the class divide between the college-educated Simon and the former soldier Simon. They had first names too, but honestly, who has time? In any case, the more rough-and-tumble of the two loved to smash things to bits from behind the wheel of a 1979 Dodge Macho Power Wagon, and audiences were there for it. With a big roll bar and eye-catching paint, the Power Wagon should have become an American icon, but as soon as Simon & Simon was canceled, the hefty Dodge disappeared from the media landscape, and the sales charts, with Chrysler's pickup unable to ride the same wave of sales success that lifted General Motors and Ford options throughout the decade. 1965 Sunbeam Tiger - 'Get Smart' Get Smart was much better known for the comedic repartee between stars Don Adams (Maxwell Smart), Barbara Feldon (Agent 99) and Edward Platt (Chief), than it was any vehicular shenanigans. This is surprising given just how prominently a 1965 Sunbeam Tiger was displayed during the first two seasons of the show, with main character Maxwell arriving at Control headquarters from behind the wheel of a bright red example in the opening sequence. The Tiger replaced a Ferrari 250 cabriolet that had been used during the same titles in the pilot, and it was itself doubled on screen by a four-cylinder Sunbeam Alpine for almost every close-up that was used during filming. Why? The special effects crew couldn't figure out how to stuff both a prop machine gun and a 260-cubic-inch V-8 into the same engine bay. Remember when?: The Yugo, one of the worst cars ever, is attempting a comeback Although the public might have forgotten this particular car, the show's star never did. It was included as part of the compensation package for Adams, and it pulled duty in his household for many years until not one, but two of his daughters seriously damaged it one after the other by way of off-road excursions. 1960 BMW Isetta - 'Family Matters' If you came of age in the 1990s, then there's a strong chance that TGIF and Family Matters are permanently burned into your brain. And, of course, who could forget Jaleel White's star-making performance as Steve Urkel, the next-door neighbor who quickly moved from side character to series regular. Chances are, however, that you don't remember the car that Family Matters producers assigned to über-nerd Urkel. The 1960 BMW Isetta bubble car was the constant butt of jokes, whether it was the fact that Urkel was actually paid to take it off the hands of his uncle, or that it was eventually hopped up to supersonic speed capabilities to play on its reputation as one of the slowest vehicles ever made. We're not saying Urkel's association with the Isetta permanently associated it with uncool for an entire generation of TV watchers, but the message Family Matters writers were putting out there was pretty easy to pick up on. As with Don Adams, Jaleel White was given the Isetta as part of his contract with the network. Fortunately, it hasn't been victimized by the same level of bad luck afflicting the oft-crashed Sunbeam, and White still drives it to this day. 1995 Dodge Ram - 'Walker, Texas Ranger' Remember how gung-ho Chrysler was about buying its way onto the small screen in the 1990s? That same strategy was applied to Chuck Norris' most famous television series, Walker, Texas Ranger, where Dodge stepped in and erased the original hero truck, a GMC Sierra, in favor of a 1995 Ram after the initial season. The Ram was an even more important model for Chrysler than the Viper, as its radical styling and available V-10 and turbodiesel powerplants helped elevate Dodge from also-ran status to contender in the pickup truck wars. It also became a key component of Norris' onscreen identity, forever linking the karate master with the Dodge/Ram brand. Most of you are probably saying 'wait a minute, everyone knows that Walker drove a Ram — how could you say we've all forgotten about it?' That may be true, but we're willing to bet none of you remember the big-time upgrade that Dodge presented the Texas lawman in the 2005 Walker TV movie Trial by Fire. It's here that Norris slipped behind the wheel of a Ram SRT10 pickup, thus linking the first and last fruits of Chrysler's all-out TV action onslaught. 1970 Aston Martin DBS V8 - 'The Persuaders' British television seasons are notoriously short, and so the brief run of The Persuaders is no doubt the main reason why many Americans have almost no recollection of its on-road hardware. That's really too bad, as the Roger Moore/Tony Curtis vehicle made prominent use of a 1970 Aston Martin DBS V8 — then advertised as the fastest four-passenger car in the world — throughout its entire run. The Bahama Yellow car was actually a somewhat earlier six-cylinder DBS that featured V8 badges to help Aston Martin promote their latest model. As official suppliers to the show, they would have gladly handed over the real thing, but the coupe was so popular with customers that there were none to spare. This was the last role Moore played before moving into another Aston Martin–heavy franchise: James Bond. 1960–1964 Chevrolet Corvette - 'Route 66' It's entirely possible that Chrysler's inspiration for its television sponsorship focus dated all the way back to the 1960s. The program Route 66 followed a pair of men driving across the country along the titular highway, seeing America through the windshield of a Chevrolet Corvette. That choice of sports car was no accident, as Chevy had a heavy hand in supplying and promoting the show. In fact, each passing season saw a brand new Corvette used as the hero car, thanks to GM's hard-working PR department. Route 66 isn't discussed all that much in a modern context, but it would be easy to assume that of course each of these 'Vettes was painted bright red. In actual fact, the black-and-white TV show had no use for such a dramatic hue, and in any case the red paint proved too reflective under the TV lights. This kept the Route 66 Corvette color palette restricted to much tamer shades such as light blue, beige and tan. Unlike several other entries on this list, Chevrolet didn't have an explicit agreement to give the show's star, George Maharis, his own Corvette to match what drove on-screen, so he schemed of a way to get one for free by telling the sponsor he would be tooling around in a competing Thunderbird (that he didn't actually own). The strategy was an effective one, and soon enough Maharis was heading home in his own 'Vette. 1976 GMC K1500 Sierra Classic - 'The Rockford Files' The last big truck on our list is also the most obscure. The Rockford Files has long been part of the gearhead television dataset due to James Garner's title character driving a Pontiac Firebird Formula in nearly every single episode. Less well remembered is the fact that he also occasionally got behind the wheel of a 1976 GMC K1500 Sierra Classic, a truck that ostensibly belonged to his on-screen father. Despite it having faded into the mists of syndication, at the time the GMC's role in the show was fairly well known. A big part of this was because Garner had a sideline as a huckster for the brand, appearing in ads for the trucks and helping both GMC and Hickey Enterprises (the aftermarket outfitter that added the oversized fuel tank, roll bar, bumper bar and driving lights to the truck) move as much metal as possible. 2000 Bentley Arnage Red Label - 'Hannibal' What kind of car would a serial killer drive? Oh, wait — we forgot to add that said multiple murderer is also a fantastically successful psychiatrist. The answer, according to the producers of the show Hannibal, is a 2000 Bentley Arnage Red Label, as seen in the possession of famous face-eater Hannibal Lecter. The Arnage Red Label was one of the last times the crew at Crewe sent a car out into the world with the old-school 6.75-liter V-8 under the hood, making it something of an anachronism in the modern age. There's no doubt that its stately presence, well removed from the riff raff of daily life, is a subtle comment on the status of Hannibal Lecter in society. It's also likely that the majority of viewers gloss over the winged 'B' on the hood and view it as just another slab-sided super-luxury car, effectively anonymizing it in much the same way that Lecter exists at the periphery of the American legal system, barely visible despite the whirlwind of crime that surrounds him.

Ford F-150 Lobo: Lowered V8 'street truck' revealed
The F-150 Lobo is a new lower, meaner-looking variant of the evergreen F-150 pickup truck with a V8 soundtrack. Under the bonnet — sorry, hood — is a naturally-aspirated 5.0-litre 'Coyote' V8 petrol engine making 298kW and 556Nm. Despite the Lobo's sportier appearance, this V8 doesn't gain any performance upgrades. It's hooked up to a 10-speed automatic transmission, and a four-wheel drive system with an electronically-controlled two-speed transfer case offering 2H, 4A, 4H and 4L modes. Hundreds of new car deals are available through CarExpert right now. Get the experts on your side and score a great deal. Browse now. Supplied Credit: CarExpert The eight-pot is among a wide array of engines not available in Australia-bound F-150s, including a 2.7-litre turbo V6, 3.5-litre turbo hybrid, 3.0-litre turbo-diesel V6, and 5.2-litre supercharged V8. All local F-150 variants powered by a 298kW/678Nm 3.5-litre twin-turbo V6. Based on the sporty-adjacent STX trim, the Lobo rides on 22-inch gloss black alloy wheels with a unique design shod with Bridgestone Alenza all-season tyres. The Lobo sits lower to ground, with the rear dropped 51mm (2.0 inches). This is matched with a ten-piece bodykit, dual exhaust pipes, and a unique four-part light bar stretching across the blacked out grille. There's also a redesigned lower air intake with a mesh grille, cowl bonnet, and blacked out vents, badging and detailing. Supplied Credit: CarExpert Unlike the regular STX, the Lobo is only available with a four-door SuperCrew body and a 1.68m (5.5 foot) cargo tray. Five paint colours are available: Agate Black Metallic, Atlas Blue Metallic, Carbonized Gray, Oxford White, and Rapid Red Metallic Tinted Clearcoat. The F-150 Lobo will go on sale in the US during the third quarter of 2025 with prices starting from US$59,995 (A$92,440) before taxes. That's about US$5000 more than the 4×4 SuperCrew STX the Lobo is based on. Supplied Credit: CarExpert Lobo — which is Spanish for wolf — has been used by Ford of Mexico since 1996 as the name for all F-150 models, except for the base trim. This was done to done to give the pickup truck more youth appeal and arrest a sales slide, which was so severe Ford reportedly contemplated discontinuing the model south of the border. Ford's first Lobo model in the States didn't appear until 2024 when the Blue Oval decided to give its unibody Maverick ute a more menacing look to appeal to young 'uns. Thanks to its V8 engine and late appearance, it seems unlikely that the Lobo will be part of the F-150 range when the facelifted model finally arrives in Australia later this year.

RXO Q1 Earnings Call: Technology Integration and Synergy Progress Underpin Outlook Amid Freight Weakness
Freight Delivery Company RXO (NYSE:RXO) fell short of the market's revenue expectations in Q1 CY2025, but sales rose 57% year on year to $1.43 billion. Its non-GAAP loss of $0.03 per share was $0.01 below analysts' consensus estimates. Is now the time to buy RXO? Find out in our full research report (it's free). Revenue: $1.43 billion vs analyst estimates of $1.48 billion (57% year-on-year growth, 3.5% miss) Adjusted EPS: -$0.03 vs analyst estimates of -$0.02 ($0.01 miss) Adjusted EBITDA: $22 million vs analyst estimates of $22.7 million (1.5% margin, 3.1% miss) EBITDA guidance for Q2 CY2025 is $35 million at the midpoint, above analyst estimates of $34.37 million Operating Margin: -2.1%, in line with the same quarter last year Sales Volumes fell 1% year on year (11% in the same quarter last year) Market Capitalization: $2.7 billion RXO's first quarter results reflected significant progress in business integration and technology upgrades, even as external market conditions remained soft. Management attributed performance largely to the successful integration of the Coyote acquisition, which enabled carrier and coverage operations to consolidate onto a single technology platform. CEO Drew Wilkerson highlighted a 26% year-over-year increase in less-than-truckload (LTL) brokerage volumes, offset by continued softness in full truckload and automotive-related shipments. The company also reported notable productivity gains, with technology-driven improvements raising efficiency by 17% over the past year. Wilkerson described the quarter as one where 'productivity over the last 12 months increased by about 17%,' and pointed to the company's asset-light model as a key factor in managing through volatility. Looking ahead, RXO's forward guidance is shaped by ongoing integration benefits, operational flexibility, and a cautious approach to market uncertainty. Management emphasized the potential for additional cost savings as technology and procurement systems from the Coyote acquisition are fully leveraged. CFO Jamie Harris noted, 'We have significant opportunity to purchase transportation more effectively,' which could translate to meaningful margin improvements as the year progresses. While the company expects continued growth in LTL and last-mile services, executives cautioned that truckload volumes remain under pressure due to macroeconomic uncertainty and shifting customer strategies in response to trade policy changes. Management believes enhanced technology and scale position RXO for margin expansion once market conditions stabilize. Management pointed to integration synergies, LTL volume growth, and technology-driven productivity as primary factors shaping first quarter outcomes, while highlighting automotive headwinds and ongoing market softness as key challenges. Coyote integration milestone: The successful migration of both RXO and Coyote carrier and coverage operations onto one transportation management system (Freight Optimizer) allowed for better freight matching and improved scalability. Management emphasized the early realization of cross-company operational efficiencies. Raised synergy expectations: After reviewing integration progress, RXO increased its estimate for annualized cash synergies from the Coyote acquisition to more than $70 million, driven by operating expense reductions and capital expenditure savings. CFO Jamie Harris explained that these estimates exclude further potential benefits from optimizing transportation procurement and cross-selling opportunities. LTL volume strength: Less-than-truckload (LTL) brokerage volumes grew 26% year-over-year, in stark contrast to ongoing softness in the broader truckload market. Management attributed this outperformance to new customer wins and the company's ability to offer integrated solutions for complex freight needs. Last-mile segment momentum: The last-mile delivery business saw a 24% increase in stops, benefiting from existing customer growth, new customer acquisitions, and expanded service in new markets. Management described last-mile as a 'stable and growing source of EBITDA.' Automotive sector headwinds: Weakness in automotive volumes, particularly in managed transportation and expedited shipments, weighed on both revenue and gross profit. Harris quantified the impact as a $10 million year-over-year gross profit headwind, noting the higher margin typically associated with automotive-related freight. RXO's near-term outlook is shaped by integration-driven cost efficiencies, LTL and last-mile growth, and ongoing caution about freight market demand. Procurement and synergy realization: Management expects further margin improvement as unified procurement and technology systems enable more effective purchase transportation. Early wins in cost reductions are expected to ramp up as contract rate increases phase in through the year. Continued LTL and last-mile expansion: Ongoing growth in less-than-truckload brokerage and last-mile delivery is expected to help offset softness in full truckload volumes. Management highlighted cross-selling opportunities and new customer wins as drivers of segment resilience. Freight demand uncertainty: Executives remain cautious about overall freight market demand due to macroeconomic headwinds, customer responses to tariff changes, and persistent automotive sector weakness. The company's guidance incorporates a range of scenarios, with flexibility to further reduce costs if volumes deteriorate. In coming quarters, the StockStory team will monitor (1) the pace and scale of realized cost synergies from the Coyote integration, (2) ongoing growth in LTL and last-mile delivery volumes, and (3) RXO's ability to manage through continued softness in full truckload and automotive-related freight. Sustained productivity gains from technology investments and the impact of shifting trade policies will also be key signposts for future performance. RXO currently trades at a forward P/E ratio of 58.5×. At this valuation, is it a buy or sell post earnings? The answer lies in our full research report (it's free).
