The Grand Cherokee has been one of the most popular SUVs on the road for quite some time now, and it’s only become better with each passing generation. The latest model is certainly an impressive piece of machinery, but as soon as you compare it to the Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe, a Plug-In Hybrid Electric […]

With a BA in English and a love of all things riding on four wheels (or six wheels if we’re talking about a dually, and you know we are), Greg Wiesen took the automotive journalism field by storm thanks to his dynamic writing style and ability to articulate the unintelligible. For more than a decade, Greg has lent his skills to writing about a wide range of topics, but exploring the latest cars, trucks, and SUVs has become his true passion. Now, if he could just convince Lamborghini to send him a Countach in exchange for a review, everything would be perfect.
What’s an “eTorque,” and Does it Really Matter?
If you’re looking for a full hybrid or even a plug-in hybrid version of the powerful Ram 1500, you’re out of luck. However, that doesn’t mean there aren’t any hybrid Ram trucks for sale.

Kia Might’ve Made the Perfect Midsize SUV for a Weekend Outdoors
First, I’m not going to try to convince you that the Kia Telluride is the ultimate off-road machine because it’s certainly not. If you like tackling challenging trails and splashing through riverbeds, then you’ll undoubtedly be served better by other options. That said, if you’re interested in spending a long weekend at your favorite campground, […]
Has GM Become the Leader in Full-Size SUVs?
The simple answer to that question is, yes, they pretty much have. The more detailed answer to that question requires a look into the lineups of several different car companies to see what they can offer and how GM demolishes the competition. For one thing, the large or full-size SUV market is surprisingly limited in […]
The Worst Car of the Nation 2022: Chevy Bolt EV
Folks, the auto industry is a harsh mistress–you never know for sure what will go over well and what will struggle. That said, the one thing I can pretty well guarantee is that if your vehicle decides to engage in spontaneous combustion, then you’re going to have a bad time. That’s exactly what Chevy learned […]
The 2023 F-150 Makes the 2023 Ram 1500 Feel Like a Relic
Truck fans out there, I know y’all like to argue over which truck is the most impressive and the most reliable. It’s understandable, considering how much you invest in these machines, and the manufacturers certainly put a lot into their pickups as they fight for the top. If you’re a Ram fan, then you’d probably […]
The King Ranch Holds Court in the Ford Explorer Lineup
It’s easy to think of the midsize SUV as a purely family-focused vehicle since it replaced the station wagons and minivans of old for so many people. However, they don’t have to be bare-bones people movers. One of the biggest reasons so many folks have switched to midsize SUVs is they can be loaded with […]
The Nissan Titan PRO-4X Can Go Where Others Can’t
I won’t try to argue that Nissan is the top name in full-size trucks here in the US. Obviously, the brand is behind domestic competitors like Ford, Chevy, Ram, and even Toyota pulls ahead of it. That being said, a growing number of people are flocking to their nearest Nissan Titan dealer for one simple […]

Truck fans have no shortage of options when it comes to different models out there.

The Chevy Traverse: A Family-Focused SUV
It’s easy to be passionate about things that are cool, like heading off-road in a flashy, open-air SUV or taking your muscle car out to spend a Saturday with your local car club. Those things are great, don’t get me wrong, but they’re not for everyone. Plenty of people find passion in other things: a […]
Do Chevy’s Sports Cars Have a Future?
As you may know, GM was built on a philosophy of multiple brands where each has a niche: Cadillac is the high-end luxury brand, Buick builds affordable premium cars, and Chevy has accessible vehicles for everyone. But in addition to creating vehicles that appeal to a wide range of drivers, Chevy is also the GM […]
The Nissan Titan Can’t Keep Up With the Chevy Silverado
There’s no denying that full-size, light-duty trucks are some of the most popular vehicles out there, and that means we see a ton of competition between different manufacturers to dominate the market.

How the Honda Accord Has Transformed Through the Years
If you quickly read that headline and thought this will be about the use of a Honda Accord in the Transformers universe, then I’m sorry to disappoint.

A Look at Mitsubishi’s Remarkable History
The history of Mitsubishi is a surprisingly complicated and lengthy tale that encompasses world history and the way in which Japan has developed and radically changed over the last 150 years.

Recently, the 2023 Chevy Corvette Z06 70th Anniversary Edition made its debut at the 2022 Indy 500––not only as an impressive show pony but as the official pace car for the race. This is far from the first time that a Corvette (let alone a Chevy) has had this honor, but it was a particularly […]
8 of the Coolest Cars That Are Actually “Affordable”
As a kid who grew up in the 1980s and ‘90s, I’d say that the coolest car ever made was the Lamborghini Countach. Everything about it was pure aesthetic delight, and it was absolutely dripping with the over-the-top veneer and style of that era. You’re not exactly going to find a Countach at an online […]
