For decades, conventional wisdom about trucks has been simple: if you want a pickup truck that delivers all-around capability for job sites, off-roading, and on-roading alike, you get a light-duty full-size truck. Commonly referred to as 1500 series trucks (or the F-150 in the case of Ford), these trucks are the standard for versatility among […]

Rumors of the HEMI’s demise have been greatly exaggerated, but can it compete with the Ram 1500’s new Hurricane engine?

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 […]
When an automaker includes the word “ultimate” in a vehicle’s name, they’re setting the bar high. Such is the case with the 2025 GMC Sierra 1500 Denali Ultimate. As the highest trim of this long-running pickup truck, the Denali Ultimate aims to take the Sierra 1500 Denali that has been available for many years and […]
Today’s pickup trucks have come a long way from their workaday roots. While originally designed to help farmers and tradespeople haul heavy cargo and bulky equipment, the humble pickup has grown into a very different beast since the first Ford Model TT made its debut in 1917. From luxurious pickups with plush leather cabins and […]
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 […]
There’s nothing like hopping into a truck and exploring the farthest-flung parts of North America. The rugged frames, big engines, high towing capacity, and tall ground clearance of trucks produce an unforgettable adrenaline rush when you head off-road and hit the highways. By looking at used trucks for sale, you can get an amazing value […]
When the Ford Bronco ceased production in favor of the Ford Explorer, the Jeep Wrangler was left alone and seen by many as the quintessential off-road-ready SUV. This is certainly not hyperbole on my end, as even those who aren’t particularly interested in off-road adventuring can attest to Jeep being the brand that’s synonymous with […]

The Toyota Tacoma is famous for having many trims and packages to choose from. The current lineup includes eight standalone trims, many of which are geared toward off-roaders or branded with the TRD (Toyota Racing Development) moniker. A trim that shares both traits is the TRD PreRunner, which was introduced as part of the Tacoma’s […]
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 […]
Chevy has built its reputation as a brand by offering a series of vehicles that are built to last, providing drivers with an affordable way to get the task done.

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 […]
After seeing sales numbers for its Ram truck brand drop three years running, Stellantis decided the time had come to revamp its 2500 and 3500 series pickup trucks. On January 7, they unveiled the first major facelift to the Ram Heavy Duty since the fifth generation launched in 2019. Although officially still part of the […]
Chevy didn’t rush into the fledgling electric vehicle (EV) pickup segment but rather bided its time and let some of its closest competitors take the lead. This might sound like an overly cautious approach and was probably hard for longtime Silverado fans who were waiting to experience the new all-electric version of the popular pickup, […]
There are plenty of reasons half-ton trucks like the Chevy Silverado 1500 are so popular. These pickups offer excellent power, hauling, and off-road ability for everyday drivers and even some commercial applications while still being road-friendly. You can do a lot with a half-ton—and they don’t require a commercial driver’s license nor massive arm muscles […]
