What current (or fairly new) cars and light trucks still have pushrod engines? All that comes to mind are GM products with LS/LT series V8's.

Chrysler's HEMI and Hellcat do.

GMs 4.3L v6 does.

All of the 3/4 ton diesels have pushrods I think. But those are probably not a "light truck" by most standards.

Dodge HEMI engine, Cummins, and Fords 6.4(?) V8 found in the 3/4 ton up trucks.

 

That's all I can think of at this time.

That is, without hyperbole, the worst car I've ever seen.

It may be the worst, but that doesn't mean it doesn't look like it's as fun as a barrel of monkeys.

Really, a barrel of monkeys would also be a terrible idea when you think about it.

How did I forgot about Chrysler V8s? Embarrassing for sure.

By DOT standards, the boundary between light trucks and medium trucks is 14,000 pounds.

 

On the original topic, I think a number of the Bentleys they make right now are still using the old 6.75L RR pushrod V8.
