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, […]
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 […]
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 […]
SUVs are inherently American vehicles, with steeds like the Chevrolet Suburban and Jeep CJ 4×4 pioneering the concept, followed by the International Scout and Ford Bronco taking it to even greater heights. However, as knowledgeable off-roaders know, the SUV concept isn’t off-limits to the rest of the world. Land Rover, Toyota, Subaru, and even Honda […]
Automotive manufacturers have been making special and limited-edition models since the beginning of mass production. Sometimes, these deluxe models exceed expectations and stick around longer than anticipated. The Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 392, for example, has taken the Rolling Stones’ advice about retirement, though we’re assured the 2025 final edition really is the end of the […]
One of the most famous off-road SUVs in the world is from an automaker Americans wouldn’t expect. Introduced in 1951, the Nissan Patrol flourishes in markets from Japan to South America, conquering some of the toughest terrain the world can offer. It’s also one of the longest-running vehicle nameplates, now celebrating 75 non-stop years of […]
From fax machines and typewriters to pagers, floppy disks, and cassette tapes, plenty of examples of outdated technology have rapidly disappeared from the modern market.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 […]
If you’re like me, your brain probably conjures up images of a behemoth cruising down the highway with authority when you hear the word “Hummer.” It’s the automotive equivalent of a rock concert: loud, proud, and unapologetically bold. Now three years removed from its decade-plus production hiatus, the 2025 Hummer SUV is proving that it’s […]
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 […]
The fifth-generation GMC Yukon has earned plenty of praise since it first hit the market in 2021. Lauded for its spacious design, luxurious interior, and off-road ability, the Yukon has quickly become a favorite amongst drivers and critics alike. It’s easy to understand the SUV’s wide appeal, but there has always been one notable shortcoming […]
The day you receive the keys to your new off-road vehicle might seem momentous, but it’s really just the start of the journey. While many of today’s adventure-ready trucks and SUVs are equipped with a wide range of heavy-duty components right out of the box, further upgrades and customizations are an inherent part of off-road […]
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 […]
One of the reasons for buying a large SUV has long been the ability to tow trailers, small campers, and other equipment. Even if someone is trying to get away from it all, they usually have toys they want to bring with them. The 2025 Jeep Grand Cherokee has found its way to North American […]
In today’s car market, $32,000 doesn’t amount to much. That sort of cash would cover the closing costs, repairs, and moving fees for a new house, a minor heart surgery, or the Princess Diana-themed “Crowning a Lady” package at The Drake luxury hotel in Chicago, but it’s a pretty modest budget when you’re shopping for […]
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, […]
I remember the first time I ventured off the pavement in my Jeep Wrangler and the sense of adventure that overwhelmed me as I followed a caravan of Tacomas and 4Runners blazing the trail ahead. I thought I was hooked then, but that feeling intensified when Ford announced the Bronco’s return. As an adventurer and […]
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 […]
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 I traded my two-door Wrangler with its beefy all-terrains for a more practical, family-friendly SUV, I also paused my passion for venturing off the pavement. My options were limited at the time because I never thought to expand my search and shop for alternatives like a Chevy Tahoe for sale. Today, one look at […]
