Most dealership lots look the same until you spot the outlier. It could be a dusty Cadillac parked between two vanilla SUVs, a coupe with yellow Brembos hiding in the back row, or a short-run Ford wearing factory 20s, each with a “for sale” tag nobody’s noticed yet. That’s the split-second enthusiasts live for, spotting […]
The title of “world’s fastest production car” just changed hands, and it could signal a massive shift in the automotive landscape. The YANGWANG U9 Xtreme left a little burnt rubber all over the history books in mid-September when it posted a top speed of 308.4 mph at Germany’s Automotive Testing Papenburg (ATP) track. The newly […]
Every so often, a new automotive brand emerges that captures the imagination and interest of the car-buying public, gaining attention due to unique aesthetics, unmatched performance, or state-of-the-art technology that immediately distinguishes it from the crowd. At present, the INEOS Grenadier is precisely such a vehicle. For the upstart all-terrain-capable INEOS Grenadier, all three descriptors […]
Few trucks are primed for adventure quite like the GMC Canyon. The midsize pickup is best known as a more premium version of the Chevy Colorado. While it certainly boasts a long list of luxury credentials, few realize that the Canyon is also one of the most off-road-ready models on the market. It’s not unusual […]
As the automotive world continues its relentless march toward electrification, blistering horsepower, and tech-laden cabins, it’s easy to lose sight of what truly makes for an enjoyable driving experience. But hidden behind all the headlines about cutting-edge EVs, towering trucks, and monstrous supercars, there are still a few models that capture what really matters to […]
In an era of increasingly electrified models, there have been some notable holdouts. Ford has become a leader in the hybrid and EV segment, but one of the brand’s most storied badges has managed to resist the current electric trend. Ford invented the pony car segment with the debut of the Mustang back in 1965. […]
The Jeep Wrangler 4xe has been nothing short of an electrifying triumph since its introduction in 2021. The plug-in hybrid (PHEV) version of Jeep’s midsize SUV combines a turbocharged I-4 engine with two electric motors and a 17.3-kWh battery to provide the Wrangler 4xe with 375 hp. The PHEV version not only delivers 90 hp […]
The 2026 Toyota RAV4 Woodland trim looks every bit the part as an adventure rig, both inside and out. First introduced in 2023, the Woodland enhances Toyota’s best-selling model with a range of upgrades that enable the SUV to excel both on and off-road. The Woodland trim survived the RAV4’s switch to an all-hybrid lineup […]
The Chevy Tahoe is one of the best-known SUVs of the 21st century. Introduced in 1995 as a successor to the Blazer and a slightly shorter version of the legendary Suburban, it’s known as a vehicle that can be just about anything: if you need a family vehicle, a heavy-duty tow vehicle, or an off-roader, […]
Nissan has held a very special place in my heart for as long as I can remember. In my childhood years of gaming, I was always drawn to the Nissan Silvia, the Z-cars, and that iconic Calsonic R32 Skyline. My first car was an S13, and now, almost 20 years later, I still can’t seem […]
Although not as popular as they were in the mid-to-late 20th century, street trucks remain a beloved subset of the massive pickup truck market. Many automakers released street truck versions of their most famous nameplates well into the 2000s, including the Ford F-150 SVT Lightning, Dodge Ram SRT-10, and Chevrolet SSR. However, these straight-from-the-factory street […]
A unique kind of magic happens when a car surprises you, when you drop the accelerator and feel something raw, mechanical, and emotional connect straight to your gut. That feeling used to belong exclusively to combustion engines: the roar of the revs, the slight vibrations in the shifter, and the tactile rush of a perfectly […]
With the 2026 Corvette ZR1X, an absolutely marvelous piece of machinery, Chevrolet has introduced what can effectively be called a new and true American hypercar. It’s one of the most advanced vehicles from the company, maybe the most advanced Chevy ever. Never mind the hybrid electric all-wheel drive, which is impressive enough—the performance is out […]
For decades, the Z71 was the undisputed king of Chevy off-roading. Now, there’s a new model atop the throne. Originally an option package for midsize trucks and SUVs, the ZR2 came to the Colorado in 2017. Then, for 2022, the ZR2 graduated to full-size status, officially being added to the Silverado lineup as its flagship […]
Look closely the next time a Jeep vehicle pulls up to you at a red light. In addition to the seven-slot grille and timeless utilitarian design, you may notice a badge that sets these models apart from the rest: Trail Rated. It isn’t something that’s printed and slapped onto every Jeep that rolls off the […]
There are many different reasons to look for a used Jeep Wrangler for sale, including a desire to get into the Jeep lifestyle (wave and all) or an interest in an impressive off-road machine. Let’s go with the second option, and say someone is interested in a pre-owned Wrangler to get an SUV they can […]
There’s something in our soul that craves speed and competition. The Romans were racing chariots around the Colosseum in the first century BC. In 1875, horses began thundering down the track at Churchill Downs. NASCAR’s roots were planted in the 1940s among thrill seekers and moonshiners. Add in countless other examples, and it’s clear that […]
The 2000s were a golden era of automotive engineering, when fuel efficiency took a backseat to raw power and symphonic exhaust notes drew sighs of appreciation and anticipation, automakers pushed the boundaries of cylinder counts. It was an era of excess in the engine realm, with brands like Lamborghini, Porsche, Lexus, Audi, and others, teasing […]
For decades, conventional wisdom about trucks has been simple: if you want a pickup truck that delivers all-around capability for job sites, off-roading, and on-roading alike, you get a light-duty full-size truck. Commonly referred to as 1500 series trucks (or the F-150 in the case of Ford), these trucks are the standard for versatility among […]
Rumors of the HEMI’s demise have been greatly exaggerated, but can it compete with the Ram 1500’s new Hurricane engine? Fans of the iconic V8 mourned when Ram announced the HEMI’s retirement after the 2024 model year, but a combination of factors has brought the engine back as an optional upgrade for the 2026 Ram […]
