The 2023 Nissan Titan continues the tradition established by its predecessors when it was first launched in 2004. That original Titan was put on the market as an alternative full-size pickup truck. A potential disruption to the market that would hopefully let consumers see that alternatives to the familiar not only existed but thrived. Nissan […]
The Jeep Wrangler has long been recognized as one of the most dominant names in the world of four-wheel drive SUVs, with an impressive lineage that traces its roots back to the battlefields of World War II.

Although it doesn’t have a legacy going back as far as some of the other models you’ll find at a new or used Chevy dealer, the Equinox has quickly become one of the most popular SUVs on the road. There’s not just one thing that is done right to attain this position – it’s a […]
First thing first: there is no such model as a “Civic OG,” so don’t run to your local Civic dealer and ask to test drive one. We’re referring instead to the standard Civic model. Unlike its cousins, the Si and Type R, it doesn’t have a catchy nickname. It’s always just been “the Honda Civic.” […]
If you’re shopping for a serious off-road truck, you might be looking at the 2023 GMC Canyon vs 2023 Ford Ranger.

If you visit just about any used Ford dealership, you’re sure to find several Explorers on the lot.

You don’t get those kinds of numbers overnight, […]
“The Green Hell,” as Sir Jackie Stewart named it, may be the most demanding track on Earth. There are those which are older, more renowned, or drive faster, but no permanent circuit is longer nor features more varied topography. The Nurburgring is one of the most dangerous tracks in the world, so long and winding […]
Job sites and Chevy trucks go together perfectly. Few things seem so well matched, and that fact is certainly no mistake; it is very purposeful. Chevy has worked incredibly hard to make their brand synonymous with the challenges many face on the job site every day. That dedication to their brand culminated in the iconic […]
Last month, I wrote about a car that was being sold at auction on November 5th, 2022: a 2003 Enzo Ferrari. The car is one of the most special members of a now-dissolved club called the Gran Turismo Collection by RM Sotheby’s. This is a relatively small collection composed of 18 of the rarest and […]
In 1931, a Japanese company named Toyo Kogyo, which had been producing cork since 1920, launched a tricycle truck dubbed the “Mazda-Go.” A simple design that was affordable and practical, that little truck was named after Ahura Mazda, an ancient Persian god of harmony, intelligence, and wisdom. Hoping to bring a bit of those ideals […]
It was 1910, and William Durant was out as the President of General Motors. The big thinking and rapid acquisitions that were a hallmark of Durant’s tenure caught up with the company, and GM found itself overextended and looking for someone to blame. Durant was that someone. But Durant was not done with General Motors, […]
The automotive industry sees its fair share of ups and downs every year, but 2022 proved one for the record books in many ways.

The CX-5 is Mazda’s most popular and best-selling model, yet its future is a bit uncertain and could be on its way out. This is because Mazda is introducing an all-new model for the 2023 model year: the CX-50, which is built on the same platform as the smaller CX-30 but with a number of […]
Toyota has some interesting new developments for the Tundra line of trucks. The newest generation comes with a new powertrain line-up, new trims, and some exciting new features that appeal to a broad range of truck shoppers. However, what really makes the 2023 Toyota Tundra stand out from the competition is how it’s not pigeonholed […]
First, I’m not going to try to convince you that the Kia Telluride is the ultimate off-road machine because it’s certainly not. If you like tackling challenging trails and splashing through riverbeds, then you’ll undoubtedly be served better by other options. That said, if you’re interested in spending a long weekend at your favorite campground, […]
There is no denying that the roads and highways, freeways, and byways of America are chock full of pickup trucks. They come in all shapes and sizes. They also come in all manner of reliabilities, workloads, efficiencies, and more. There is no telling with some of these trucks. How reliable is it? How strong is […]
Unveiled in 2019, the Jeep Gladiator pickup might seem like something of a departure for the brand. The Gladiator made waves upon its debut, turning heads with its fusion of off-road capability and classic Jeep styling with the utility of a full-bed pickup. While the model seems like a bold new step for Jeep, which […]
In the wild, speed is everything. The ability to chase down prey or run from a predator can be the difference between life and death, giving the fleet of foot a marked advantage in the neverending contest that is natural selection. Survival of the fittest has been the governing law of nature since prehistoric times […]
Some cars come with a certain reputation. We’ve all heard of the “Jeep Guys” and “Minivan Moms,” and there are some specific traits that we tend to associate with specific cars.
