Toyota made history in the late 1990s when it debuted the Prius in Japan, introducing the world to the first mass-produced hybrid.

A True Maverick: 2025 Ford Maverick Updates
The Maverick is a cool, smaller truck. I’ll just come right and say that I like it a lot. Somehow, it finds a way of capturing the appeal of a full-size truck in a compact truck’s body.

How Sporty Are Ford Escape’s ST-Line Trims?
It’s interesting how trim packages have evolved. Perhaps there was once a time when there were “luxury cars” and “budget cars”, but now so many vehicles cast their nets widely so as to cover the whole gambit (from budget to luxury) under one nameplate. Most vehicles have a baseline trim, which provides enough nice features […]
The Rise and Fall of the DCT
It wasn’t too long ago that the dual-clutch transmission (DCT) was the darling of the automotive industry.

Venturing Beyond the Pavement With Chevy’s ACTIV Lineup
I ventured into the off-roading realm years ago, taking my place as a newb among a caravan of veterans in vehicles adorned with skid plates, snorkels, suspension lifts, rock rails, massive tires, and a host of gear, from air compressors and extra fuel to recovery tools. These vehicles were nothing like the models sitting on […]

The Evolution of the Fourth-Gen Silverado
Like anything, vehicles must evolve throughout the years to meet the changing demands of drivers.

The pressure is on for pickup trucks, more so than […]
Automotive In Memoriam: Taking One Last Lap With 16 Models That Won’t Make It to 2025
As another year passes, another crop of vehicles ceases production and heads for the great highway in the sky. It’s the circle of automotive life, and while it can be hard to let go of some of our favorite cars, trucks, and SUVs, there’s no room for outdated, slow-selling models in today’s ultra-competitive market.

Why the 2025 Equinox EV Is the Best Deal for an EV
Last weekend, I walked through one of my local dealerships to explore new options out of curiosity rather than necessity.
