The Ford F-150 is a true automotive success story. Since its debut in 1948, Ford’s marquee pickup has risen through the ranks to become not only America’s best-selling truck but the best-selling vehicle of any kind. With strong sales and an even stronger reputation, Ford has been able to take some risks with the F-150 […]
The Chevy Colorado has been around since 2004. Whether we choose to accept it or not, that was almost 20 years ago.

Any successful individual will tell you that in order to make a handful of hits, you have to make a lot of misses. For every great song by The Rolling Stones, there are 20 that never made it out of Keith Richards’ notebook. Even Michelangelo probably has some sketches piled up in a basement that […]
There are plenty of people who will argue that a “real” work truck needs to be a full-size model. Plenty of others get pretty heated about the merits of domestic brands like Ford and Chevy. I get all of that, but I think it pays to expand one’s thoughts about what makes a real workhorse […]
It’s been more than half a century since the Chevy Camaro burst onto the scene with all the swagger, bravado, and ill intent of the villain in a superhero blockbuster. Ford had spoiled Chevy’s prevailing industry dominance with the revolutionary Mustang in 1964, but Chevy couldn’t let the blue oval have an entire market niche […]
The Ford Mustang made its debut on April 17, 1964 at the New York World’s Fair. I was just over two weeks old, so I guess I can be forgiven for not remembering the event. Even so, the great Wilson Pickett immortalized the Mustang in the song “Mustang Sally.” For those who don’t remember, the […]
To the casual observer, off-roading might seem like a leisurely activity that attracts those people who never quite grew past the stage of playing in the dirt and slinging mud around with reckless abandon.

Not too long ago, gasoline and diesel powertrains, and maybe the occasional FlexFuel option, were pretty much the only game in town for pickups. But looking at trucks for sale these days, you’ll find plenty of models that have electric components, whether they’re hybrids or full-on EVs. This exciting shift in technology expands demand for […]
From traditional hybrids that get their extra fuel efficiency from regenerative braking to plug-in hybrids to full-on electric vehicles, cars powered by electricity are getting increasingly popular these days. Despite the trends overall going in their favor, there are several hybrids that you can only find on the used car lot because, for one reason […]
If you’re going to take your truck off the flat, predictable roads and venture out into the wilderness, there are plenty of things you’ll want to make sure are up to the task, from your suspension system and shocks to your underbody and bumpers. But beyond skid plates and tow hooks, don’t forget to check […]
The year is 2023. Inventories are fluctuating. Prices are high. Wyoming wants to ban electric vehicles at the same time that California wants to ban internal combustion engines. The future is as muddled as that statement implies, but any BMW iX dealer might tell you otherwise. They’re selling the car of the future and that […]
I grew up with a family of truck lovers. My dad has always had big, heavy-duty farm trucks and work trucks. Mom refuses to drive a car, owning two trucks throughout my entire 27 years of life—a blue/green 1992 Chevy Silverado and a maroon 2004 GMC Sierra that she still drives today. Naturally, when I […]

In 1951, the Japanese National Police Reserve, the forerunner of the modern Japanese Ground Self-Defense Force, was expanding rapidly and needed a light 4×4 vehicle. Several car manufacturers responded, with Nissan developing the Patrol as its entry into the competition. Although it lost to Mitsubishi’s license-built Willys Jeep, Nissan realized the Patrol had potential on […]
I don’t really like the term “sports car”––it lacks much in the way of nuance and attempts to encapsulate a massive range of different vehicles under a single umbrella. It works, I suppose, but it fails to really get at the heart of the variety of cars it describes since so many models can fall […]
One of the most affordable midsize SUVs on the market is back for the 2023 model year. Nissan fine-tuned the Murano for 2023, and it’s time to explore what’s in store for this year.
