Modifications and accessories are an inexorable part of Jeep culture. Sure, every automaker offers their cars, trucks, and SUVs in a variety of trims and colors, not to mention marketing a healthy dose of optional equipment, but at the end of the day, you’re left with a vehicle that’s largely identical to every other model […]
There are more and more people flocking to the city. After all, there’s always something to do amongst the city lights, and when it comes to career opportunities, a fast-paced lifestyle, and a packed social calendar, the city is where it’s at.

I spent several years driving a full-size truck with a double-stack trailer loaded with rescue boats in tow, navigating major highways across the United States and congested city streets that forced a white-knuckled grip. Trailering a rig that size wasn’t for the faint of heart and was nerve-inducing, especially considering the best technology available was […]
Since joining the Jeep lineup in 2020, the Gladiator has quickly made a name for itself as one of the hardest-working midsize models on the market. The truck’s best-in-class payload capacity and unbeatable towing capacity are two notable highlights, but they’re not the only features that have made so many drivers consider a Jeep Gladiator […]
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 […]
Much of the full-size truck and SUV world—and the automotive world in general—is moving towards putting turbocharged engines under the hood. According to data from the Office of Energy Efficiency & Renewable Energy and Research Nester, the percentage of new US light-duty vehicles with turbochargers has gone from 1% in 2000 to about 50% today. […]
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 […]

General Motors has been at the forefront of North American automakers in the transition to all-electric vehicles. In addition to their oft-stated goal of only producing electric light-duty vehicles by 2035, they have motored headlong into the EV truck market, with the 2020s seeing electric versions of their Chevy Silverado pickup truck and its cousin […]
As far as I’m concerned, a full-size truck is only as good as its ability to get stuff done—and I mean for both work and play. I know there are plenty of people who like a truck for just getting around town and using it like any other passenger vehicle, but that’s not my style; […]
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 […]
The reports of the Charger’s demise were greatly exaggerated. While the iconic muscle car did take a brief hiatus from Dodge dealers for 2024, it’s back and better than ever. What a difference a year makes. Dodge has redesigned nearly every aspect of the Charger while folding in some classic features that are sure to […]
Towing and trailering is a trucker’s game… right? Not necessarily. Plenty of SUVs have extremely remarkable towing capacity, with some of the best having higher ratings than many midsize pickup trucks. It’s an area that doesn’t get talked about a whole lot when it comes to discussing SUV capabilities and feature sets, but it is […]
Are heated seats worth it? Do rain-sensing windshield wipers and driver-assist tools like adaptive cruise control significantly impact your experience in the driver’s seat? If you’d asked me a decade ago, I would’ve laughed because I drove a four-wheel drive, two-door SUV with an AM/FM radio. The doors and roof were usually off because another […]
Among the various factors that make the Chevy Suburban so impactful, like being the oldest nameplate in automotive history and being the only vehicle with its own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, the Suburban is also known for its power. This full-size Chevy favorite is a top pick for families everywhere with its […]
The Ford Explorer has long been a leader in the ultra-competitive three-row SUV segment, blazing a new path and setting a high bar that can be difficult for some of its competitors to match. The Explorer can be largely credited with the modern SUV craze, bringing the format to the masses when it first hit […]
Full-size trucks steal the spotlight because they’re versatile workhorses that can tow heavy loads and comfortably accommodate passengers and cargo. As a full-size truck owner, I can attest to their versatility and appeal firsthand, relying on my truck to handle loads of mulch, rock, and lumber for DIY projects around the house. Yet, trucks like […]
Among the many choices drivers get with the Chevy Silverado 1500 are trims that appeal to any type of driver you can envision. You’ve got simple work trucks designed to get the job done with a no-frills attitude, upscale travelers that wrap their occupants in high-end appointments, and then there are rugged off-road-oriented trims that […]
Does it seem like everyone is driving an SUV these days? SUV sales have skyrocketed in recent years due to the fact that these everyday travelers are just so versatile, and when it comes to different types of drivers, there’s an SUV in the mix for everyone.

Those who think that hybrid powertrains can’t compete with their traditional gasoline counterparts simply haven’t been paying attention. While early hybrids put the emphasis on fuel efficiency, automotive engineers have been steadily uncovering the performance potential of a little electrification. From the ability to increase horsepower and torque to the sort of advanced equipment that’s […]
