Do you believe the future is predictable? In 2016, a research group called McKinsey & Company predicted the automotive industry would face a significant revolution by 2030, shifting transportation toward mobility, connectivity, and feature-rich upgrades. While the study also anticipated more car-sharing in urban areas and the onslaught of fully autonomous vehicles, we’re looking at […]
Ever since its formation in 1946, Honda has been on the cutting edge of innovation and has continually displayed the ability to adapt to any situation that the constantly evolving marketplace presents. Most recently, an industry-wide revolution has spread far and wide. Because necessity is often what dictates invention, the need to reduce the emissions […]
When you think about weekend getaways and sightseeing trips, you probably think of a rugged SUV carrying an overhead kayak. While SUVs are great for this type of wanderlust, midsize trucks are also great options for this lifestyle. The plus to driving a truck over an SUV is that you get bed space while still […]
We’ve all heard the jokes about the “Zupra,” and there are few car enthusiasts left who don’t know that the new Toyota Supra is really a BMW Z4 at its heart. Rather than rehash the debate over whether the A90 is a “real” Supra, it might be worth embracing the controversy and asking which of […]
Normally the terms “fuel-efficient” and “pickup truck” don’t mesh well with one another. After all, trucks have usually been powered by large engines that are necessary to move weight and carry sizable workloads. Most recently, gas prices have been doing what they’ve always done best and are unpredictable. While this has led to many consumers […]
There are some wacky driving laws in the United States. For example, in Little Rock, Arkansas, it’s illegal to honk your horn after 9 PM at a site that serves cold drinks or sandwiches. Drivers in Oklahoma are legally encouraged to tether their vehicles when parked outside public buildings. Massachusetts forbids drivers to go anywhere […]
If you’re the sort of driver who enjoys the little luxuries, you’re not interested in just any old pickup truck. You’re used to a refined interior, a smooth ride, and plenty of power to get you where you’re going in style. Many might say that it isn’t possible for a pickup to be luxurious, but […]
The Wagoneer made its debut for the 2022 model year, so any version of this large SUV is already fairly modern. However, the 2023 Wagoneer L model is even newer, so it’s hard to know what to expect from it. If you’re wondering what hot new features are in store—features added to distinguish it from […]
It’s a little hard to believe that the company responsible for the Prius—and with it, almost the entire market of hybrid electric vehicles—is this late to the battery electric vehicle (BEV) game, but it’s true. The year is 2022 and the world is finally seeing the first mass-market Toyota BEV—the 2023 Toyota bZ4X. (Please don’t […]
Sport utility vehicles have been around for as long as we can remember, and as their popularity is at an all-time high, it just makes sense that drivers are intrigued by their origins. For many, owning a piece of history, in the form of an automobile, is always exciting, and if you’ve ever found yourself […]
There are two kinds of people: Jedi who do not deal in absolutes and Sith lords with access to unlimited power. In a similar manner, there are two kinds of BEV (battery-powered electric vehicle), those from established legacy automakers and start-ups. Beyond that oversimplification, EVs are taking on increasingly diverse forms––though they started as super […]
If we were to take a bird’s eye view of the automotive industry as a whole and examine it year by year, we would bear witness to a timeline with many peaks and valleys. We would also take notice of trends coming and going and new technologies appearing and becoming a part of the industry. […]
The engine is the heart of a truck, and when you are searching for “used truck sales near me,” it is twice as important to get an engine that is as reliable as it is powerful. A used truck can be a more affordable option, but only if the engine is designed for a long […]
Although fairly commonplace now, there was a time when a luxury SUV would’ve seemed like an oxymoron. With the Wagoneer, Jeep breathed new life into the world of rugged, 4WD types. They took them off the trail, parking them comfortably in garages until they were ready to answer the call of the wild—or the call […]
As a kid who grew up in the 1980s and ‘90s, I’d say that the coolest car ever made was the Lamborghini Countach. Everything about it was pure aesthetic delight, and it was absolutely dripping with the over-the-top veneer and style of that era. You’re not exactly going to find a Countach at an online […]
What is it you look for in an off-road truck? Is it pedigree or performance? Do you like that feeling of knowing that, if you wanted to, you could turn right off the highway and head into the wild? We know there’s lots to choose from in this department—and you’re picky. So, can we make […]
Compact SUVs are becoming more and more common on the road, and they offer drivers an excellent offer for those who need a little bit more than a car and a little bit less than a truck. There are a lot of different options out there when it comes to a compact SUV, and it […]
When it comes to cars, model names are often just a lot of hot air—something Volkswagen knows better than most. A vehicle’s name can go a long way toward helping it to carve out its identity, but too often brands opt for whatever they think sounds the most modern, sleek, or imposing. Some manufacturers know […]
The worldwide microchip shortage has changed the way that car shopping is being done, at least for now. Today’s automobiles are more complex than ever before, and the shortage means that production numbers for new vehicles will be much smaller than in years prior. What this means for consumers is that the search for new […]
Let’s say that you have a need for speed. You’re attracted to acceleration, and you have a penchant for punishing the pavement with power and burnt rubber. You live to hear the explosions of a classic combustion engine and dine on the sounds of an exciting exhaust. You’re a junkie for jalopies, muscle cars, imports, […]
