What’s in a name? That which we call a Trail Boss would, by any other name, still be the boss of the trails. Still, other trucks deny their purpose and refuse their trim name, leaving themselves open to the slings and arrows of vicious mockery from enthusiasts. But where does the Silverado 1500 RST fall? […]
If you’re in the market for your next truck, your top priorities are probably going to be practical. You likely want a model that’s dependable, capable, within your price range…all that good stuff. But let’s face it: a good name doesn’t hurt. While it’s not enough to keep an unimpressive truck afloat (remember the Chevrolet […]
For well over 40 years now, the Ram pickup has been one of the leading full-size trucks in the US; that’s a lot of years for a model to do its thing, making it older than the Chevy Silverado nameplate and almost as old as the Ford F-150. When it comes to the kinds of […]
Ever since bursting onto the scene 10 years ago, the Ram 1500 Rebel has set a new bar for performance in the full-size segment. Off-road-ready pickups have now become par for the course in the decade since the Rebel’s debut, but Ram’s own offering was well ahead of the curve, combining the company’s reputation for […]
When you’re shopping for a Ford F-150 these days, you have seemingly countless options available. From high-value options like the XL, STX, and XLT to premium trims like the Lariat, King Ranch, and Platinum to off-road models like the Tremor, Raptor, and Raptor R, there is an F-150 model for everyone. But it wasn’t always […]
Looking at a lineup of full-size trucks for sale, you’re going to find a wide range of models filling a variety of niches. Some are affordable work trucks that are focused solely on tackling tough jobs. Others are loaded to the teeth with specialized equipment to make them capable off-road. And then there are the […]
Ford is no stranger to outlandish electric race cars. In 2022, it unveiled an ultra-high-performance version of the Ford Transit EV at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, humbling supercars from Porsche, Ferrari, and McLaren at the British hill climb. The year after that, the improved SuperVan 4.2 made its appearance on the slopes of Pikes […]
Looking at the new 2025 lineup that will soon start showing up at your Ram dealer, you might notice a conspicuous absence, especially if you’re an avid off-roader. The Ram 1500 TRX made its debut for the 2021 model year, and it sang its swan song during the 2024 model year. But just because it’s […]
Off-roading is a hobby that exists for the bold and daring. The Jeep is the brand trusted above all others for those needing a vehicle to facilitate adventures on the less traveled path. Most off-roaders use one of two primary vehicles to undertake the impossible: the Jeep Wrangler and various pickup trucks. The Jeep Gladiator […]
Since it burst on the scene in 2010, the F-150 Raptor has turned heads with its brash performance and devil-may-care attitude. In their original review, MotorTrend described it as what happens when hot rodders decide to go off-road racing. For my money, it’s the vehicle that truly spawned the “mainstream super-truck” category of souped-up trucks […]
Some people fear change, others embrace it. I, on the other hand, am somewhere in between. If something is changing, it better have a decent reason to do so, or at the least, provide an outcome that makes you understand the change more than question it further. Innovation is something that constantly raises its head […]
Can you find a truck at your local Honda dealer? Depends on your definition. For some, body-on-frame construction is what separates the trucks from the cars. But if you’re not a purist, you might be willing to admit that for most practical purposes, it’s the presence of an open cargo bed that defines the category. […]
For more than 35 years, the Z71—whether as an optional package or a trim level—has given Chevy trucks and SUVs an off-roading shot in the arm. By tweaking the suspension, adding underbody production, and even giving the driver advanced assistance features, Chevy makes it easier for drivers to tackle the terrain that gets their adrenaline […]
Who would want to drive on a nice, paved road when you could be carving through muddy ruts, bouncing in your seat, and learning the meaning of “center of gravity” first-hand? As long as there have been cars, there have been drivers who will find any excuse to test their limits with off-road driving. While […]
The Ford F-150 Raptor R is a feat of modern pickup design. Built with high-speed off-road antics in mind, the full-size truck comes packed with a full suite of heavy-duty gear that allows drivers to overcome rocks, mud, sand, and whatever else the trail might throw at them. While the pickup’s 37-inches tires, Fox Dual […]
Though electric trucks are still an emerging segment in the automotive market, the fact remains that the electric future is here. Ford has been touting the F-150 Lightning as equal to the standard gasoline-powered F-150, which is fantastic news for drivers who rely on pickup trucks for towing, stowing, and going. However, there hasn’t been […]
The redesigned 2024 Toyota Tacoma has taken this iconic midsize pickup to all-new heights, especially when it comes to its already-impressive off-road capabilities. In fact, no fewer than five of the eight available trims are performance-focused, catering to a broad spectrum of truck enthusiasts. While the 2023 Tacoma offered the TRD Sport, TRD Off-Road, and […]
When you’re browsing your local Chevy dealer for a dedicated off-road partner, it’s hard to do better than the Chevy Colorado. This midsize pickup combines the raw power of Chevy’s award-winning Silverado 1500 with the practicality of a smaller truck—a formula that’s perfect for any driver looking to explore the road less paved. The Colorado’s […]
If you’ve seen any Chevy trucks for sale near you lately, you may have noticed the Multi-Flex tailgate, which was released on the 2021 Silverado 1500.

Pilots don’t make their first flight in a Boeing 737, and even the world’s greatest off-roaders didn’t start out in the most advanced truck that money can buy. The Chevrolet Colorado recently celebrated its 20th anniversary as the midsize truck people turn to when they want to get their feet wet in the off-roading world—but […]
