    Hauling a big-bore ATV is no small feat for a light-duty pickup, especially when that four-wheeler is the monster Polaris Scrambler XP 1000 S. Payload ratings and springs suited for people moving as much as they are for moving mountains makes for a hit-or-miss experience in terms of how well the truck does with nearly…

It’s equipped with Walker Evans 3-Way adjustable suspension, has 14.5 inches of ground clearance, and looks like something designed to be ridden in the Baja…

    Nowadays, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are commonplace in production passenger vehicles. I always enjoy the former when driving new press cars, an appreciation that came about sometime after I had already purchased my 2018 Lexus GX460 which didn’t come with this tech. Thankfully, the automotive aftermarket is flush with ingenuity. To bring my GX’s…

    Luxury SUVs are nothing if not excellent road trip vehicles. The plush ride, quiet cabin, copious amenities, and plentiful space make for the best way to cover distance when confined to land. BMW’s X7 should be a natural winner on this front, and we tested out its cred on a recent adventure. How’d it do?…

    It’s not just BMW filling niches these days. Ram’s 2500 Rebel further expands on the brand’s Heavy Duty lineup, combining choice components from other Rams to create a truck that lives between the workhorse, street-oriented standard 2500 and Power Wagon off-roader. We recently spent a week daily driving a 2500 Rebel, which created with a…

    We love the Toyota Land Cruiser. From the 80-Series to the Heritage Edition to the Prado to the Prado-based GX460, we’re Land Cruiser die-hards here at Hooniverse. In any guise, the Cruiser is off-road capable, durable as durable gets, and built to the highest standard in the automotive industry (at least this side of high-end…

    So what if the 2023 Land Rover Defender’s identifying model numbers correspond less to their wheelbase lengths than they did in the original model? From the 90 to the 110 to the 130, there’s a spread offered for your taking. Should your usage case dictate that the two-door 90 is too tiny and even the…

    Standard vehicle equipment has come a long, long way. It wasn’t long ago that air bags and air conditioning became commonplace. Now the standard entry-level car can be equipped with countless niceties. Heated seats, adaptive cruise control, Apple CarPlay and so on are all commonplace. We’ve always been a little salty that our 2018 Lexus…

    More people stopped me to talk about the 2023 GMC Hummer EV than any other car I’ve driven, reviewed, or owned. For better or worse, that is; either side has a strong opinion, and they’ll let you know about it. I’ll be honest, though; my week with the Hummer EV didn’t go as planned. Life…
