With SUVs continuing on their upward trajectory in immense popularity and appeal, it only makes sense that one of the forebears of the vehicle class would return to the fold and reclaim its […]
I grew up with a family of truck lovers. My dad has always had big, heavy-duty farm trucks and work trucks. Mom refuses to drive a car, owning two trucks throughout my entire 27 years of life—a blue/green 1992 Chevy Silverado and a maroon 2004 GMC Sierra that she still drives today. Naturally, when I […]

In 1951, the Japanese National Police Reserve, the forerunner of the modern Japanese Ground Self-Defense Force, was expanding rapidly and needed a light 4×4 vehicle.

The Jeep Wrangler is made to traverse places that most vehicles could never reach. That said, some off-roading ventures are too unpredictable for a brand-new ride. While the Jeep Wrangler is getting more and more capable with every new model, you may not want to deal with all those dents, knicks, and scratches right off […]
Back in November, Ford announced that the EcoSport had finally met its timely and unlamented end. Ford’s smallest SUV never had much going for it beyond its low price, as its decidedly unsporty engine options weren’t even that eco-friendly. However, the discontinuation of the EcoSport means more to car enthusiasts than the chance to say […]
The last half-decade of updates to the Nissan Pathfinder has been a wild roller coaster ride. The Pathfinder has undergone so many changes and updates in such a short time that you might think the current model is an entirely new nameplate that was recently released by Nissan. However, the truth is that Nissan is […]
The legacy of the Jeep Cherokee is a rich one. The nameplate dates back to the mid-1970s, but it was during the XJ era of the 1980s where the SUV really took off.

Few vehicles can match the legendary status of the Ford Bronco. The iconic SUV is one of the most recognizable vehicles to ever roll off an American assembly line, with the original version sporting a boxy, two-tone design that made the Bronco an instant classic upon its debut in 1965. Originally hitting the streets as […]
The Ford Bronco wasn’t the original off-road SUV, but it has gained a certain reputation since it joined the Ford lineup in 1966. The early Bronco was something to be reckoned with, with no doors, no roof, and a windshield that could be folded flat against the hood. It held a wide stance on a […]
Looking at the Ford Escape, you can understand why compact crossover SUVs have become such a force to be reckoned with in the American auto market. The Escape is just as sleek and stylish as the average sedan but with more room for cargo and passengers, and Ford makes a point to keep it stocked […]
With a dog named Jango Fett and enough Star Wars memorabilia to sink a Star Destroyer, the George Lucas franchise is undeniably a staple in our home. Even our toddler knows that “F” is for “Force,” “J” for “Jedi,” and his favourite, “W” for “Wookie.” We’re not alone either, as the vast impact of Star […]

It’s equipped with “just right” levels of technology, comfort and convenience features, power, and performance to have made millions of […]
First introduced for the 2010 model year, the “Raptor” name was initially applied only to the Ford F-150 and designated a trim developed with high performance and incredible power in mind. Since then, it has primarily remained an F-150 exclusive designation, at least here in the US, but with this coming model year, that’s all […]
