Gas is becoming more expensive, and drivers across the board are becoming more fuel-conscious. What’s missed among many automakers is that you don’t […]

Keeping up with current auto news isn’t always easy – just keeping up with general current events can be quite demanding these days. I know that at a certain point, for me, some of that news simply becomes white noise as information overload sets in and I have to spend some time watching videos of […]
Beyond the various nameplate options, prospective pickup buyers will have to consider the many variations of these models as they’re doing their shopping. If you’ve already begun your research, then we’re sure you’ve already started debating the 2019 Ford Raptor vs 2019 Ram Rebel. These two “special edition” pickups appear to be relatively comparable. However, […]
We have been conditioned to believe that the word “capability” can only lend itself to certain things. This is especially true in the automotive world. Big trucks would have you believe that they are the only vehicles that fit this specific definition of utility. And it tends to work, for the most part. “Capable” and […]
Picture this. You’re driving down the highway, an hour away from your destination. You’re tired and just wish there was a shortcut you can take. All of a sudden, you see a dirt road up ahead on the right. A sign says “road not maintained” and you can see that the road is rough and […]
Whether we’re window shoppers, truck lifters, gear haulers, or mud enthusiasts, we’re all lifted truck lovers. And no matter how sleek, fast, and powerful a stock truck may look, we’ll never agree. Because for us, something’s always missing. A stock build can’t satisfy our vision of having any obstacle out there get in the way […]
What makes a great pickup truck? There are plenty of factors to consider, from the engine tucked beneath the hood to the number of features packed under the dash.

Kia is relatively new to the United States. They opened their first stateside dealership in Oregon in 1994, even though they were founded fifty years before that. Even today, there are fewer than 800 Kia dealership locations spread out across the US. There are some upsides to that low number, though. Many larger cities see a saturation […]
When a lot of people think “off-road,” the first thing that probably pops into their heads is “Jeep.” That’s understandable; Jeeps have always been designed and marketed toward people that want to leave the road behind. However, that’s no reason to ignore other amazing off-road vehicles that are on the market, especially if a Jeep […]
One of the things I find most fascinating about the auto industry is the stories that make up its history. These stories only ever go back about a hundred years at most – so you don’t have to memorize the names of a bunch of kings or remember dozens of different dates (you can if […]
