A visit to your local Subaru used car dealership can turn up all sorts of unexpected surprises. From rugged, best-selling crossovers like the Outback and Forester to the roomy, three-row Ascent, there’s bound to be something for everyone. Known for their practicality, fuel-efficient continuously variable transmissions, and standard all-wheel drive, Subaru’s vehicles have become the […]
Going shopping for a used car can be a taxing experience. Some people know before they even leave the house exactly what they are looking for. Some people don’t even know where the nearest used car dealerships to their house are. Fortunately, modern technology has afforded us all a means to do some virtual shopping […]
Attempting to figure out the buying patterns of US citizens can be one of two things. It is either 1) an enjoyable game or 2) a dangerous game. Lay folk like us think of it as the former, but there are very highly paid people that treat the latter as a career. Lay folk […]
Are you one of the growing number of people looking at a pickup truck as an everyday vehicle? If so, you have quite the market to choose from. Most every automaker out there has at least one pickup truck in its lineup, and some have multiple. Some are known for their pickup trucks and […]
What do the Jeep Wrangler, the Volkswagen Beetle, and the Kia Soul have in common? Mechanically, not much. You are not likely to see a Beetle doing any off-roading, and there were probably not many Wranglers at Woodstock in 1969. One is American, one German and one Korean. So what, if anything, do they […]
If we had told you a year ago at this time that we would be comparing the Ford Ranger and the Jeep Gladiator, you might have thought you were about to read a thirty-year-old article. Yet, here we are, in 2019 looking at the 2019 Ford Ranger vs 2020 Jeep Gladiator. This isn’t some […]
Sport Utility Vehicles have taken over sedans and other cars as the most popular vehicles on the road. More than half of the automobile market is now SUVs, and that number is about to climb substantially higher. The major American automakers are discontinuing many of their car lines and focusing their time and money […]
Ford Escape vs Mazda CX-5 Compact crossovers are just so darn cute. They must be, because they are everywhere. And pretty much every automaker on the planet has rolled at least one of them out over the past several years. These diminutive vehicles may not have the physical pull of one of their larger brethren, […]
So, your credit has taken a hit. Or maybe, like a lot of us, it was never that great, to begin with. Perhaps you are just starting out, and you have little to no credit. That does not mean that you cannot get a car loan. There are options out there for bad credit […]
Here we are again, pitting yet another middle of the road mid-size SUV against another middle of the road mid-size SUV. In this case, it is the 2019 GMC Acadia vs 2019 Nissan Pathfinder. In most lists of the best mid-size SUVs, you won’t see either of these vehicles anywhere near the top. While […]
There a handful of words in the automotive lingo that get a gearhead’s blood running faster than low viscosity engine oil. One of those words is Corvette. For more than 60 years, the Chevrolet Corvette has been an icon of the sports car industry. The 2019 Chevrolet Corvette looks to continue this tradition and uphold […]
In case you were wondering, the “HD” stands for “Heavy Duty,” not “High Definition.” In a high tech world dominated by high definition televisions, monitors and smartphones, it is an easy connection to make. But in the world of heavy-duty trucks, the 2019 Chevy Silverado HD is the heaviest of heavy hitters. What exactly makes […]
Pickup truck lovers around the world, Rejoice! The 2019 Ford Ranger is coming! This icon of the truck world has been missing since 2012, but it will make a resurgence in 2019. And it will be unrecognizable. The Ford Ranger was one of the best-selling trucks in the compact truck market for years but […]
Lots of pickup trucks claim “best in class this” and “best in class that.” While these claims are technically (and legally) true, the term is so overused it sometimes loses its meaning. After all, there are more than a few classes of vehicles. Furthermore, when automakers break it down to “best in class,” they […]
The Sport Utility Vehicle market can be a funny place sometimes. Like most things, it is cyclical. When SUVs first shot to popularity in the 1990s, size was king. The bigger the SUV, the more impressive it was. It didn’t matter that many were heavy and didn’t handle well at all. Size mattered. Recently, […]
Perhaps no other automobile manufacturer in the world is as synonymous with the pickup truck as Ford. Interestingly, it was the public that first pushed Ford into the truck market. By the time Ford introduced its first pickup in 1925, people had been self-modifying the Model T into a pickup truck. Due to the […]
Japanese auto giant Toyota is well known for their sedans, but in the U.S. Ford and Chevy often top the charts. Toyota looks to make waves in the status quo with the 2019 lineup of Toyota trucks. While they only offer two pickup trucks in the North American market: the Tacoma and the Tundra. […]
The 2018 Ford Edge vs 2018 Nissan Murano are both popular mid-sized SUVs, capable of delivering a variety of options to drivers. Each has desirable qualities. Each has some amenities and features better than the other. However, you can’t drive both at the same time. Which one is a better choice? That all depends on […]
