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From fax machines and typewriters to pagers, floppy disks, and cassette tapes, plenty of examples of outdated technology have rapidly disappeared from the modern market.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 […]
When the 2025 Ford Explorer made its debut, there were plenty of new features to get excited about, most of them related to tech. Behind the (surprise, surprise) bigger screens, the new Ford Digital Experience software lets gamers connect to the screen with a Bluetooth controller and play games (while the SUV is parked, we […]
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 […]
Serious off-roaders need more than a run-of-the-mill SUV or tricked-out crossover. They demand the best combination of power, suspension, body design, and tech to get them across rough terrain. This is especially true of rock crawlers, dune bashers, and competitive off-roaders who constantly face the worst Mother Nature and course designers can offer. To this […]
While many early hybrid models prized efficiency above all else, the segment has come a long way over the last two decades. Today’s hybrids can match or even exceed their gas-powered counterparts in terms of performance. That’s certainly the case when it comes to the new Honda Civic Hybrid for sale, which joins the lineup […]
Drivers are always drawn to the latest models on the streets, but what about the old geezers of the automotive industry? After all, vehicles that are even just a year old are considered used goods, but that doesn’t make them any less capable of completing challenging tasks. In fact, they can often do it better […]
The GMC Acadia’s AT4 trim turns the already-capable SUV into a competent off-road contender. While it might not be able to achieve some of the rock-crawling, dune-bashing feats of off-road strength one might experience behind the wheel of a dedicated body-on-frame adventure rig, it’s still a standout in the crossover class. The advantages of the […]
