In an era when the label “SUV” often denotes an all-too-civilized family hauler reminiscent of a previous generation’s station wagons, the Dodge Durango stands out as a robust exception. It combines the brawn of an old-school SUV with the performance and attitude of a muscle car. If you’re planning to shop at a Dodge dealer […]
For a country of just 10.5 million, Sweden has an outsized presence in the international auto market. This country’s vehicular offerings tend to concentrate on either performance or practicality, ranging from the safety-minded Volvo and its Polestar EV offshoot to the supercar specialists at Koenigsegg and defunct brands like the turbocharger-obsessed Saab. These brands have […]
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 […]
Everyone knows the sound of a V8 roaring, even if they’re not a car person. With their massive torque and horsepower figures, V8s are the only engines that can satisfy serious cravings for what can only be described as oomph. However, it’s no secret that administrations at every level have been putting pressure on vehicle […]
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 […]
When most people think of Mercedes-Benz, they picture the brand’s sleek sedans and low-slung performance models. While luxury SUVs have made their way into the automaker’s lineup in recent years, one Mercedes-Benz model stands out from the crowd with its boxy design, off-road chops, and luxuriously appointed interior. Introduced in 1979, the Mercedes-Benz G-Class, commonly […]
Ford turned a lot of heads when it brought back the famous Bronco for the 2021 model year. There hadn’t been a new Bronco sighting since 1996, which was the last year for the original model. The 25-year break worked out well, and rather than simply bringing back the Bronco as a standard midsize SUV, […]
When it comes to off-road vehicles, certain names have become legends: Jeep Wrangler, Land Rover, Ford Bronco, and Toyota’s TRD models. Up until about 45 years ago, there was another name often spoken alongside Jeep, which was the Harvester Scout. The Scout was first introduced in 1960, and for two decades, it offered impressive performance […]
This is the moment you’ve been waiting for: it’s time to find a Chevy Corvette for sale. The 2024 Corvette Stingray may have caught your eye, and for good reason. It’s quite simply a gorgeous car with a powerful motor, excellent tech specs, and exciting features. However, several packages can be added to further enhance […]
There are a few prerequisites for any vehicle that’s looking to try its luck on challenging off-road terrain. A little extra ground clearance is essential, as are specialized off-road tires that maximize traction on uneven or loose surfaces, but if there was just one area to focus on, it would have to be the suspension. […]
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 […]
As a huge fan of the Mustang’s entire glorious history, from the original 1964-½ fastback to the seventh-gen Dark Horse, I’ve been eagerly following along with the Mustang Mach-E’s ongoing development. I must say, when Ford announced the EV in 2019, my curiosity was piqued by the decision to attach the Mustang name to a […]
Although it’s widely considered the most popular form of motorsports in the world, Formula 1 frequently finds itself mired in controversy. From spying allegations between McLaren and Ferrari in 2007 to accusations of drivers deliberately crashing their competition to win the championship (perhaps most notably when Michael Schumacher and Damon Hill collided in the 1994 […]
With the newest sixth-generation Toyota 4Runner making the media rounds and getting a lot of hype and attention for the updates and overhauls that Toyota is bringing to the midsize off-road focused SUV, sometimes it’s good to slam on the brakes and take a critical look at the offerings to see what’s really changed and […]
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 […]
BMW has a hard-won reputation for being the most performance-focused of the luxury brands, but these days, it seems to be rapidly losing the plot. Odd aesthetic choices such as the pig snouts on the M3 and M4 can be accepted if the car performs well, but when the M cars start resembling pigs in […]
When it first hit the market in 2021, the Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 392 was unlike any model the off-road giant had ever produced. The Rubicon 392 boasted the off-road resume drivers had come to expect from the Jeep brand and was packed with a generous list of luxury features to boot, but it was the […]
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 […]
Those in the market for a thrilling ride have no shortage of stylish, curve-hugging sports cars to choose from. Names like Porsche, Mercedes, BMW, and Mazda tend to dominate this high-speed market sector, but those seeking a decidedly different way to burn a little rubber have an inciting new option, courtesy of Ford. While the […]
