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 […]
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, […]
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 […]
The compact Maverick pickup truck appeals to a variety of drivers, mainly those who want the best of both worlds—power mixed with everyday practicality and pickup truck capabilities blended with daily commute requirements. You get the picture. Just because this particular Ford truck isn’t exactly geared toward hard-working construction or industrial workers, it doesn’t mean […]
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 […]
