We often tend to limit our perception of a vehicle to one or two specific roles, narrowing our appreciation for how versatile any given vehicle can be. Even as somebody who writes about cars, it can be tempting to think of three-row SUVs as family vehicles that live in the suburbs and never see much […]

As Nissan’s current midsize offering, the Frontier is one such pickup, featuring a range of trim options that allow drivers to create the ideal ride for any application. Debuting for […]
The Nissan Rogue is a great family vehicle. It’s the go-to solution for those who want a compact SUV that offers respectable styling and great fuel economy. It comes with an all-wheel drive, has a modest turbocharged three-cylinder, and isn’t particularly known for its compatibility with engine or transmission swaps. But what if you wanted […]
A lot has been made of the 2022 Ford F-150 Raptor’s power, and for a good reason. The veritable off-road beast is one of the most powerful pickups on the market, with a massive twin-turbo V6 that wouldn’t be out of place in the desert racing circuits that gave birth to this breed of off-road […]
Since its original release in 1999, the Chevy Silverado has seen quite the evolution.

In fact, 2022 marks a milestone for the bowtie brand, with […]
The great outdoors––almost everyone says they love it, but who’s actually got the nerve to go there? And I don’t mean glamping in Grandpa’s backyard in the Catskills. I’m talking deep woods, into-the-wild, find-the-gaps-in-T-Mobile’s-coverage great outdoors, man. There’s nothing like the serenity of a truly silent landscape totally devoid of human influence. The trouble for […]

It’s not uncommon for automakers to either turn a consumer production vehicle into a racing edition, like the Ford Escort or the Toyota Corolla. Likewise, it’s not uncommon to take a vehicle built for racing and homologate them into consumer production versions, like the Ford GT or WRX STI. Interestingly enough, the Chevy Colorado ZR2 […]
Ahh, 2013. No war in Ukraine. No COVID. No fake news, no Brexit, we still had Kobe and Betty White, and I’m pretty sure Lance Armstrong was still cool, too, but don’t quote me on it. But you, dear reader, I know that you suffered. You adored Ford’s badass F-150 Raptor, then a 4-year-old model […]

Drivers seeking off-road-ready vehicles now have more choices than ever. While the pursuit was previously reserved for those with off-road specific rigs or four-wheel drive vehicles souped up to handle off-road fun, a new breed of SUV has entered the fray.

The trend has been especially prevalent in the powersports industry, with ATV brands like Polaris reporting a sales boom of more than 40 percent.

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 […]
The worldwide microchip shortage has changed the way that car shopping is being done, at least for now. Today’s automobiles are more complex than ever before, and the shortage means that production numbers for new vehicles will be much smaller than in years prior.

Most people don’t want to beat up their brand-new SUV on the trails––at least, not on rough ones. Finding a good, older, off-roading model is a great reason to type “used car dealer near me” into your preferred search engine.
