Although the capabilities of an off-road SUV like the Jeep Wrangler or Ford Bronco can be impressive, I’ve always been a fan of powerful trucks for hitting the trail. There’s just something about a truck that feels at home beyond where the pavement ends, although we all know that not every pickup is built for […]
Shared vehicle platforms have become all the rage in the automotive industry. It makes sense from a business perspective. Multiple cars, trucks, or SUVs based on the same underpinnings enable manufacturers to develop new models faster and more efficiently. However, this makes it more challenging for drivers to decide which vehicle is right for them. […]
From fax machines and typewriters to pagers, floppy disks, and cassette tapes, plenty of examples of outdated technology have rapidly disappeared from the modern market. While there’s always going to be nostalgia for antiquated tech and a few flannel-clad hipsters eager to preach the lo-fi warmth of a cassette or old-world charm of a typewritten […]
While the auto industry is prone to hyperbole, it’s hard to overstate the Jeep Wrangler’s off-road ability. The midsize SUV has long been one of the best models in the adventure-ready segment, with the 2024 Wrangler packing its trophy case with awards from AutoTrader, Cars.com, and What Car? Jeep now looks to cement its reputation […]
There’s something about pointing your tires toward the unknown that stirs up the soul. Whether you’re blazing a trail through the backwoods, kicking up dust in the desert, or crawling over rocky ridges like a mountain goat, off-road adventures deliver the kind of freedom most people only daydream about. Lucky for all of us, you […]
Some off-roaders are content exploring local parks and woods. In some areas, that’s enough for years of great outings. If you’re like me, though, you believe the best thing about off-roading is discovering new parts of this great nation. Planning a weekend, a week-long vacation, or even a whole summer around far-flung off-road destinations is […]
Land Rover is one of the OG off-road automakers. Maurice Wilks conceived the company’s first 4×4 in 1947, and the Land Rover Defender is a big part of that history. This SUV debuted in 1983 with the Land Rover One Ten and enjoyed a three-decade-plus run before the recently formed Jaguar Land Rover sent it […]
When it comes to off-roading, Nissan might not be the first name that comes to some people’s minds. But since the Nissan Frontier for sale was inflated from a compact to a midsize pickup in 2005, it has established itself as a dependable truck that can do a little of everything, including driving over the […]
Limited edition vehicles give automakers the perfect excuse to honor a legendary model, celebrate an anniversary, or recognize an important historical figure. The last approach is particularly popular with companies naming their cars after former racing champs (McLaren Senna, GMA T.50s Niki Lauda), a pioneering patriarch (Ferrari Enzo), family members (Lotus Elise, Ferrari Dino), and, […]
Swing by your local Ford dealer today, and it’s hard to miss the fact that the automaker is courting the off-road enthusiast demographic. There are rugged SUVs and pickups of all shapes and sizes in the lineup already, and if Ford CEO Jim Farley is to be believed, this trend won’t be dying down any […]
They say everything that’s old is new again, and as we kick off 2025, that certainly seems hard to deny. From prequels and reboots to retro fashion and more, today’s pop culture is firmly infused with a sense of nostalgia. Whether it comes down to a matter of familiarity and comfort or an effort to […]
Off-road trims have become an increasingly popular way for automakers to spice up an existing SUV or pickup, but few brands can match the sheer scope of the GMC lineup. This comes as little surprise when you consider GMC’s unique approach to the market, with the automaker eschewing the typical sedans, coupes, and hatchbacks in […]
It’s no secret that the Bronco rolls with the big boys. From the Wrangler to the Land Cruiser, the Bronco has been known to compete with the best of the best on unruly terrain. If you happen to see a Ford Bronco for sale, you may be wondering just what tricks Ford had up its […]
When it comes to off-roaders, you don’t typically think of full-size SUVs. For me, I tend to envision midsize SUVs like the Wrangler and trucks like the Colorado ZR2 kicking up dust on the trails, not the family-friendly Armada. Well, for its latest year on the scene, the full-size Armada can be armed with adventuring […]
Off-roading gives drivers the opportunity to test their vehicle’s limits while exploring exciting new environments, but it’s not without its risks. From boulders and mud pits to logs, steep inclines, and other obstacles, off-roading is a far cry from your average Sunday drive. While most rides go off without a hitch, accidents do happen. That […]
Debuting for the 2026 model year, the new, fourth-generation Passport seems to have all the makings of a true off-road contender. Honda has outfitted the midsize SUV with all the gear you’ll need to explore the road less traveled, including an upgraded suspension and all-wheel drive system, a powerful new version of the existing V6 […]
If you’re looking for a rugged truck ready to kick the pavement to the curb, there’s never been a better time to shop. While getting trucks ready for treacherous off-road trails used to require costly custom jobs, you can now find a variety of options at your local Ford dealer that are ready to conquer […]
There are far too many self-professed truck enthusiasts who roll their eyes whenever they see a Honda Ridgeline for sale. Since the Ridgeline is made with unibody construction, there are plenty of people who don’t think it’s a “real truck” but rather a car in truck’s clothing. This perceived sin is especially weighty for drivers […]
The EV segment has proved to be a fertile hunting ground for ambitious startups and established brands looking to expand their market share. Volkswagen certainly hasn’t been a slouch when it comes to EVs, rolling out new electrified models like the ID.7 sedan, ID.4 SUV, and reviving the beloved VW Bus as the all-electric ID. […]
So, you’ve had a dilemma in the past: you have wanted the undeniable rugged capabilities of the Bronco, but you haven’t needed the hefty frame that comes with that. Whether you like it or not (and you probably don’t), a lot of your life still exists in the concrete jungle rather than the real one. […]
