For years now, the Chevy Colorado has been one of my favorite trucks for sale to take off-road; its solid engineering and midsize design have made it an equally perfect choice for wide expanses and tight quarters. And yet, in recent years, Chevy has gone above and beyond to make it even better with more […]

Level Up: The Most Popular Cadillacs in Video Games
From the outside, it’s easy to look at players of video games and assume we’re all quite similar, with the same tastes and preferences for our games. In reality, however, that’s far from the case—for every player who prefers stomping on turtles as an Italian plumber or jumping into a virtual warzone, there’s a player […]
Where Have All the Muscle Cars Gone?
Once upon a time, cars were the heart and soul of the auto industry. Trucks were for farmers and getting work done, and models that would today be called SUVs were a rarity, so most people drove cars. In that misty age, so long ago, standard four-door sedans were quite popular. However, for drivers looking […]

The Ford Bronco Makes Jeep Wake Up
Until recently, I felt like Jeep was asleep at the wheel—so to speak—when it came to the Wrangler. For a long time, the Wrangler had been arguably the undisputed king in the auto industry when it came to off-road SUVs, with little in the way of real competition beyond other Jeep models. With the release […]
The Best Pre-Owned Chevy Models for Hitting the Trail
I was eight years old the first time someone got annoyed with me enough to turn to me and, in exasperation, simply exclaim, “Would you get lost!?” It was a rhetorical question, of course, but on one level, I took it to heart; rather than continuing to play with them, I went off on my […]
Chevy Silverado and Ram 1500: Two Amazing Work Trucks
A great truck can be many things to different people: a way to get to work each day, relax and enjoy yourself on the weekend, and a never-ending commitment to help friends and family move furniture. For many of us, however, a great truck isn’t just a vehicle that transports us to work; it’s a […]

Attention, Ford Bronco owners: please go get your vehicle dirty. There are enough mall crawlers out there without adding to it, and the Ford Bronco is undoubtedly one of the best off-road SUVs on the market. I’d go so far as to say it’s the best. It certainly has my vote, at least when it […]
Chevy and Ford Take Off-Road Adventures to the Next Level
There’s something to be said for relaxing, hitting the open road, and just going for a drive at night or early in the morning on the highway with few other vehicles around, just you and the pavement. But that’s not always the best way to unwind. Sometimes, you need to leave the road behind and […]
The Jeep Wrangler: Past, Present, and Future
Full disclosure: despite certain similarities of beard, I am not, nor have I ever been, the famed 16th-century French astrologer and prognosticator Nostradamus. That being said, I will make a few predictions today about what the future might hold for the Jeep Wrangler, which will most likely not come true, but if they do, then […]

For the 2024 model year, Jeep is giving its iconic Wrangler a makeover and updates for its tech systems—but is it enough to keep up with the competition?

Seven of the Best Used Sports Cars by Price
No matter how you look at it, sports cars cost more than their tamer siblings. That’s the bad news; the good news is that there are still plenty of different options out there at a relatively wide range of prices, which means there is a used sports car that can meet almost any budget. Whether […]
Full-Size Trucks With Copious Cameras for Safety and Easy Maneuvering
Trucks these days offer tremendous power and capability that surpasses anything we’ve seen before, and they’ve recently been getting luxurious interiors and innovative technology that can outclass most SUVs. It’s a great time to be a truck fan, and one of my favorite pieces of tech on pickups these days is the multitude of cameras […]
The BMW X1 Goes Beyond Luxury
Calling a BMW “luxurious” is a bit silly; it’s repetitive and a lot like calling a sedan a “car” or saying an SUV has a rear hatch. Simply by virtue of being a BMW, we already know a model will deliver impeccable luxury; what their vehicles do beyond that point truly defines them. There’s a […]
What Kind of Future Do PHEVs Have?
If someone could predict the future of the auto industry with perfect accuracy, then they’d stand to make a generous fortune on the stock market. No one really has that kind of clairvoyance, however, and anyone who tells you they do is trying to sell you something or get you to subscribe to their podcast. […]
Are We Hearing a Last Call For HEMI Engines?
HEMI fans, I’ve got bad news for you. The engine you love is dead, sorry ‘bout it. Last year, Stellantis—the parent company of Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, Ram, Wagoneer, and many more—finally unveiled the Hurricane engine that had been in the works for a long time. Whether or not it has lived up to the hype […]
Where Do They Get Those Model Names?
If you are anything like me, then you tend to have just enough free time to sit around and wonder things like, “Where do car companies get the names of their models?” That is a great question, and there is no overarching answer because it all depends on the vehicle and the name. Sometimes they […]
The IONIQ 6 Is a Car Enthusiast’s Dream
I was talking to a friend of mine about electric vehicles, what’s out there right now, and what’s hitting the scene, and he asked me, “Is the IONIQ 6 the best EV on the market?” My immediate thought and reaction was to say, “No, it’s good, but it’s not the best EV out there.” And […]
