Toyota's overland-focused Trailhunter trim comes to the 2027 Tundra and Sequoia, Overland Expo's Compass reports from the SEMA Show. Both get Old Man Emu suspension, Michelin LTX tires, extra underbody protection, a locking rear differential, Crawl Control and Multi-Terrain Select, with 437 horsepower and 538 lb-ft of torque. The Tundra tows up to 12,000 pounds and the Sequoia 9,520. The Tacoma and 4Runner already offer the trim. Pricing wasn't given.

Nissan showed a Pathfinder XE-V6 concept at the SEMA Show ahead of the SUV's 40th anniversary next year, Overland Expo's Compass reports. The build adds a custom 4-inch suspension lift, 35-inch Yokohama Geolandar M/T tires, tube bumpers, a WARN winch, rock rails, skid plates and a roof rack, on the production Pathfinder Rock Creek's 295-horsepower V6. Nissan hasn't said whether any of the parts will be sold.

Rain Saturday night, heavier than forecast, and cooler weather slowed the Wild River Fire near Gorham, New Hampshire, which had burned about 821 acres and is expected to stay within an 856-acre footprint, the Boston Globe reported Sunday, November 8. The White Mountain National Forest put containment at 29 percent on Sunday, up from 20 percent Friday, Connecticut Public reports, and crews expect full containment by Thursday, November 12.

The fire was still burning overnight, "when fire activity is usually tempered due to higher relative humidity," the Forest Service said, and the soil remains dry well below the surface. The agency says the fire will not be declared out until a season-ending event, such as several inches of rain or snow. The forest closure around the fire remains in effect. A public meeting is set for Tuesday, November 10, from 6 to 7 p.m. at Shelburne Town Hall, 74 Village Road, and online.
