Some vehicles are courting a pretty specific market, be it driving enthusiasts, families, or off-road adventurers. But others cast a wide net, looking to scoop up as many demographics as they can.

The 2025 Corvette ZR1: Supercar Status Quo Destroyer
The Corvette has always hit well above its weight class, but the new ZR1 takes this to a completely unprecedented level. With a whopping 1064 hp from its new LT7 V8, the new ZR1 is an apex predator whose diet will certainly consist of many Italian horses and bulls. GM performance was seemingly given the […]
Tesla Model 3 Performance: How Does It Stack Up?
The Tesla Model 3 is still in its infancy. It made its debut back in 2017, and it’s still in its first generation. The Model 3 Performance was introduced a year later, living up to its name as the higher-output version of the four-door sedan, sacrificing range for power. But how does that help this […]
The 2024 Dodge Durango Is An Old-School Bruiser
In an era when the label “SUV” often denotes an all-too-civilized family hauler reminiscent of a previous generation’s station wagons, the Dodge Durango stands out as a robust exception. It combines the brawn of an old-school SUV with the performance and attitude of a muscle car. If you’re planning to shop at a Dodge dealer […]
An Electric Pickup Truck With a Pike’s Peak Victory
Ford is no stranger to outlandish electric race cars. In 2022, it unveiled an ultra-high-performance version of the Ford Transit EV at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, humbling supercars from Porsche, Ferrari, and McLaren at the British hill climb. The year after that, the improved SuperVan 4.2 made its appearance on the slopes of Pikes […]
The Ram 1500 RHO Is an F-150 Raptor Fighter
Looking at the new 2025 lineup that will soon start showing up at your Ram dealer, you might notice a conspicuous absence, especially if you’re an avid off-roader.

From Military Commission to Luxury Icon: The Surprising History of the Mercedes-Benz G-Wagon
When most people think of Mercedes-Benz, they picture the brand’s sleek sedans and low-slung performance models. While luxury SUVs have made their way into the automaker’s lineup in recent years, one Mercedes-Benz model stands out from the crowd with its boxy design, off-road chops, and luxuriously appointed interior. Introduced in 1979, the Mercedes-Benz G-Class, commonly […]
Battle of the Broncos: Comparing the Badlands, Everglades, and Wildtrak Trims
Ford turned a lot of heads when it brought back the famous Bronco for the 2021 model year. There hadn’t been a new Bronco sighting since 1996, which was the last year for the original model. The 25-year break worked out well, and rather than simply bringing back the Bronco as a standard midsize SUV, […]

Four Levels of HOSS Suspension Make the Ford Bronco an Off-Road Boss
There are a few prerequisites for any vehicle that’s looking to try its luck on challenging off-road terrain. A little extra ground clearance is essential, as are specialized off-road tires that maximize traction on uneven or loose surfaces, but if there was just one area to focus on, it would have to be the suspension. […]
X Marks the Spot: Taking a Closer Look at the 2024 Jeep Gladiator Rubicon X and Mojave X
Off-roading is a hobby that exists for the bold and daring. The Jeep is the brand trusted above all others for those needing a vehicle to facilitate adventures on the less traveled path.

What Performance Upgrades Has Ford Given the 2024 Mach-E?
As a huge fan of the Mustang’s entire glorious history, from the original 1964-½ fastback to the seventh-gen Dark Horse, I’ve been eagerly following along with the Mustang Mach-E’s ongoing development. I must say, when Ford announced the EV in 2019, my curiosity was piqued by the decision to attach the Mustang name to a […]
Are the New Tech Upgrades for the 2025 Toyota 4RUNNER Worth the Hype?
With the newest sixth-generation Toyota 4Runner making the media rounds and getting a lot of hype and attention for the updates and overhauls that Toyota is bringing to the midsize off-road focused SUV, sometimes it’s good to slam on the brakes and take a critical look at the offerings to see what’s really changed and […]
What’s New on the 2024 F-150 Raptor
Since it burst on the scene in 2010, the F-150 Raptor has turned heads with its brash performance and devil-may-care attitude. In their original review, MotorTrend described it as what happens when hot rodders decide to go off-road racing. For my money, it’s the vehicle that truly spawned the “mainstream super-truck” category of souped-up trucks […]
The 2025 BMW M5 Proves More Isn’t Always Better
BMW has a hard-won reputation for being the most performance-focused of the luxury brands, but these days, it seems to be rapidly losing the plot. Odd aesthetic choices such as the pig snouts on the M3 and M4 can be accepted if the car performs well, but when the M cars start resembling pigs in […]
The Wrangler Rubicon 392 Final Edition Marks the End of Jeep’s V8 Era
When it first hit the market in 2021, the Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 392 was unlike any model the off-road giant had ever produced.

2025 Ram 1500 RHO: Everything You Need to Know
Some people fear change, others embrace it. I, on the other hand, am somewhere in between. If something is changing, it better have a decent reason to do so, or at the least, provide an outcome that makes you understand the change more than question it further. Innovation is something that constantly raises its head […]
The F-150 Lightning Strikes Fear Into Slower Sports Cars
Those in the market for a thrilling ride have no shortage of stylish, curve-hugging sports cars to choose from. Names like Porsche, Mercedes, BMW, and Mazda tend to dominate this high-speed market sector, but those seeking a decidedly different way to burn a little rubber have an inciting new option, courtesy of Ford. While the […]
What’s Faster, the Porsche Taycan or the Tesla Model S?
Admittedly, this is not a question that keeps me up at night, but it’s a point of interest for those who are into high-performance electric sedans.
