2024 GMC Sierra 2500HD AT4X AEV Quick Review: Big, bad, overkill
/
/
comments
GM seems to be all-in on off-roader pickups these days. Its Colorado ZR2 trim spilled over to the Silverado ZR2, then to the 2500HD models, and over to GMC’s Canyon and Sierra trucks. But it’s getting to be absolute overkill: GM’s flagship off-road-focused pickup truck, the 2024 Sierra 2500HD AT4X AEV, has a hood that…

2023 Chevrolet Colorado ZR2 Quick Review: decent truck, mediocre tow rig
/
/
comments
The new generation of Chevy Colorado and GMC Canyon debuted to much applause, if not for being a solid midsize pickup in of itself than for being a huge step forward from the outgoing generation which had been on sale in North America since the 2015 model year. As a fan of the class in…

/
/
comments
The Chevrolet Suburban is a staple of the American road trip. Usually seen packed to the gills with both people and luggage, Chevy’s full-size, long wheelbase SUV is a go-to for families looking to go places or even just carry their kids.

The 2024 Cadillac CT5-V is no Blackwing but it’s still pretty dang good
/
/
comments
Many of us would go so far as to call Cadillac’s Blackwing cars heroic, iconic, and legendary sports sedans. GM’s luxury brand might not lead the realm in the world’s fancy department but it sure knows how to build chassis and a saloon that drives like a much smaller car. But not everyone wants or…

2018 Lexus GX460 Build: Armoring up with White Knuckle Off-Road Rock Sliders
/

comments
One major aspect of the quest to make a properly capable off-road rig out of my 2018 Lexus GX460 has been improving and increasing protection from the things that try to damage it on the trail. With a big, Aussie-style metal bumper fitted up front, the next step was to ditch the stock running boards…

The 2024 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon 392 is a lovable monster and the best Wrangler by a Country Mile (REVIEW)
/
/
comments
The 2024 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon 392 is the perfect example of something that makes no sense whatsoever somehow making all the sense in the world. As if Hellcat-powered Durangos weren’t proof enough, Stellantis putting the biggest naturally-aspirated engine in its toolbox into its vehicle worst-suited to controlling the big ‘ol V8 6.4L Hemi beast…

The Ford Bronco is easy to like but hard to love (REVIEW)

comments
Up until 2021, if you wanted a modern four-seat convertible vehicle with four-wheel-drive it meant buying a Jeep Wrangler, simple as that. Seeing as Jeep was cashing in on this by selling more of its iconic four-by-four effectively every subsequent year, Ford decided it was time to crash the party and revive the Wrangler’s main…

2023 Challenger R/T Scat Pack Swinger Special Edition Quick Review

comments
“The more things change, the more they stay the same” – Some proverb who might have forecasted the trajectory of the still-current, outgoing Dodge Challenger. Aside from tinkering with cosmetics, changing transmissions, adding a boatload of power, and ramping up the special trims offered, the car has stayed true to its roots as a big,…

The 2023 Toyota Tundra TRD Pro is a solid yet imperfect ATV hauler (REVIEW)
/
/
comments
Toyota tried to outdo the American trucks at their own game when the brand debuted the second generation of the Tundra for the 2007 model year. Burly styling and a beefy optional 5.7L V8 paired with Toyota’s famous reliability and durability, which was prioritized over cutting-edge tech over the vehicle’s run through 2021, meant it…

Road-tripping the 2023 Toyota GR86 846 miles in 105-degree heat
/

comments
Small cars generally aren’t seen as ideal for long road trips, but I stand firmly in the camp of supporting small, light sports cars as the right tool for effectively any task they can reasonably handle. And so, I found myself road-tripping a 2023 Toyota GR86 Premium from Connecticut to Virginia Beach and back through…
