GMC applies its famous Professional Grade ethos to every corner of the Sierra 1500. While the truck’s 420-hp 6.2L V8 is a perfect example of this approach, it’s certainly not alone. From the tires and trailer hitch to its available skid plates and lifted suspension, the Sierra 1500 represents one of the most well-rounded pickups […]

The list of U.S. states where vehicles driven on public roads must be inspected is shrinking. This past January 1, Texas House Bill HB3297 (originally passed in 2023) officially took effect, repealing mandatory state inspections on non-commercial vehicles.

The auto industry can be a harsh mistress; one moment, you’re watching companies innovate and deliver all sorts of new things, and the next moment, they’re gone. Considering the Ford Explorer has been around since 1991, I wouldn’t exactly call it transitory, but certain things it has offered could certainly be described that way. Anyone […]
When I traded in my Jeep Wrangler for a more family-friendly SUV, I assumed I was saying goodbye to weekend trail runs and spontaneous off-road adventures.

Something infinite is supposed to go on forever, but Nissan’s luxury vehicle nameplate is on the ropes. INFINITI has gone from a big name in automotive luxury to an afterthought. In 2017, INFINITI set a U.S. high mark by delivering 153,415 vehicles. But by 2024, the number had dropped to 58,070, a decline of over […]
Tariffs have been all over the news recently. As part of efforts toward a larger trade deal, the U.S. and U.K. reached a tentative agreement establishing tariff rates on imported British vehicles. To summarize, the first 100,000 vehicles imported from the U.K. to the U.S. each year, regardless of automaker, will be taxed at a […]
Midsize trucks, full-size trucks, compact trucks, off-road trucks, commercial trucks… I thought I had a grasp on it all until this concept of the “supertruck” rose to fame.

Anyone who has chronically had to watch their finances knows this little maxim to be true: If you wait long enough, what was once only available to the elite will become affordable to the masses.

Few automakers have rivaled the drive towards electric technology that Mercedes-Benz is on. From all-electric vehicles like the EQS sedan and SUV to an assortment of mild hybrids and PHEVs, this German luxury automaker has a commanding presence in the ever-expanding market.
