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 […]
Like anything, vehicles must evolve throughout the years to meet the changing demands of drivers. After all, the last thing we want is to drive a vehicle that doesn’t offer the comfort, technology, and safety features we need in order to fully enjoy our ride. The pressure is on for pickup trucks, more so than […]
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automotive life, and while it can be hard to let go of some of our favorite cars, trucks, and SUVs, there’s no room for outdated, slow-selling models in today’s ultra-competitive market. Whether […]
Last weekend, I walked through one of my local dealerships to explore new options out of curiosity rather than necessity. The rising cost of new vehicles is undeniable, with customers seeing prices skyrocket on dealership lots. These higher costs sometimes reflect rising production costs and poorly executed sales strategies, but I believe there’s something else […]
Over the past two decades, we have seen drivers’ tastes shift from sedans to SUVs. So many different types of motorists have discovered the benefits of driving a larger vehicle with greater ground clearance. As a result, an increasing number of brands have been expanding their SUV lineups. Out of the industry leaders, Chevrolet may […]
Now that the Trax is back in Chevy’s inventory, many drivers are questioning whether or not the bowtie brand needs two subcompact SUVs in its arsenal. The Trailblazer has been in the Chevy family for decades, and it’s been recently redesigned into a subcompact SUV, re-emerging onto the streets in 2021. However, the Chevy SUV […]
Many all-new and redesigned vehicles have hit the market over the 2024 model year, but the vast majority of them have done little to move the automotive world forward. While options like the Buick Envista and Toyota Grand Highlander are certainly proving to be sales successes, they simply capitalize on a proven formula rather than […]
Pretty much every driver has seen a Tahoe rolling past them on the highway. This vehicle is normally carrying families back and forth from school functions to extracurricular activities, pediatrician appointments, and so forth. It’s a dedicated family hauler, but what you may not realize is how tough it actually is, no matter what situation […]
Take a stroll around your local Chevy dealer, and you’re bound to see some new EVs wearing familiar nameplates. Chevrolet’s 2024 electric lineup consists of the Silverado EV, Blazer EV, and Equinox EV. The Silverado EV is clearly unique as the only pickup truck in the batch, but the two SUVs have a lot in […]
Everybody wants to be the best. Unfortunately, that’s an honor that’s reserved strictly for a chosen few, the ones that outperform the competition, year after year, the ones that hold themselves to a higher standard, and the ones that stop at nothing to give the people what they want. In the pickup truck arena, there’s […]
There are SUVs that families can make do with, and then there are SUVs that were designed with families in mind—models that cater to the needs of those traveling with more people and cargo. That’s the Chevy Tahoe, and it is one of the main reasons why this is such a popular model in the […]
Trucks these days are filled with features that set them apart from the rest; just look at models like the Honda Ridgeline, built on a unibody frame with an iconic look, or the F-150, armed with features like an on-board generator to make it more accommodating than its peers. When it comes to cool features, […]
A 1,064-hp twin-turbocharged V8, 1,200 lbs of downforce at top speed, a zero-to-sixty-time of 2.5 seconds, a top speed of 215 mph, a wealth of carbon fiber, 828 lb-ft of torque (800 lb-ft of which is available at just 300 RPM), and a starting price of $180,000; these stats call to mind some of the […]
For decades, Ford has dominated the US small truck market—first with the Ranger and now with the Maverick. Since its introduction, sales of the Maverick have exploded. In the first seven months of 2024, more than 100,000 Mavericks left US dealerships—more than as many sold in the whole of 2023. Seeing this, along with solid […]
The astounding transformation that the SUV has gone under in the past two decades has been a miraculous one, to say the least. As someone who first started driving in the early 2000s, I remember when the guiding principle of wisdom for the vehicle class was “bigger is better.” An emphasis on size, particularly with […]
The demand for luxury vehicles continues to grow. Cox Automotive estimates that, in recent years, luxury vehicles have approached 20% of all US sales. Meanwhile, Fortune Business Insights is predicting the worldwide luxury car market will grow by more than 10% annually through 2032. Defined as a vehicle that has high-end quality, features, and comfort, […]
For many people, full-size trucks are all about full-size power and performance; they focus on engine sizes, horsepower and torque, and capability in terms of payload and towing capacities. Those are all incredibly important things to consider with a truck since half the reason to own a truck is being able to do those things. […]
It’s obvious that the Silverado 1500 and the Silverado EV are different trucks due to the fact that one is powered by a selection of all-electric powertrains, and one is powered by gas and diesel engines. But what else is different about these trucks? Is the Silverado EV just the same old Silverado with a […]
Looking at the Chevy lineup these days, it’s getting harder to tell if it’s varied and offers great options for a wide range of drivers or if it’s a bit bloated and in need of some streamlining. The selection of SUVs, in particular, that you’ll find at a Chevy dealer these days could certainly be […]
For more than 20 years, drivers in South America and elsewhere have gotten to experience the compact power of the Chevy Montana. Named for the 41st state, this small unibody pickup has acquired a legion of fans, and it’s widely considered the godfather of compact trucks, leading to vehicles like the Fiat Toro and Renault […]
