Vanpackers SUV Camping Kit: Unboxing
/
/
comments
I have a little secret: I love camping, but I absolutely hate tents. I have an intense aversion to tenting between the poles, the tarps, and everything else. It’s just not worth it, especially if it rains. What I do like is sleeping inside of a vehicle. I have driven most of the way across…

Questions & Answers with the 2025 Chevy Silverado 2500 HD Trail Boss
/
/
comments
You’re looking at a large truck that can do large truck things. That would mean towing, heading off the beaten path, and possibly towing stuff off the beaten path. I have nothing to tow, and my off-road trails are currently closed. So, what can I do with this 2025 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD Trail Boss?…

2024 Land Rover Defender 110 X-Dynamic SE Review
/
/
comments
The so-called new Land Rover Defender isn’t so new any more. And yet, it’s still one of the most controversial vehicles on the road; the styling alone usually places it into a love-it-or-hate-it bucket for most. The interior is more of the same: Attractive to some, unfathomably odd to others. What’s not controversial is the…

The 2025 Porsche 911 Carrera is a Perfect “Base” Car… But It’s Not Cheap
/
/
comments
The Porsche 911 enters its 992.2 phase of life, and with it comes subtle exterior updates, minor interior tweaks, and a massive jump in its starting price. It now costs at least $120k+ to walk into the world of a new 911. That’s wild, but I’m curious about what a base-model Porsche 911 can deliver.…

2025 Nissan Kicks SR AWD – One Take Review
/
/
comments
The Nissan Kicks is all new for 2025, and it may also be the most pleasant surprise of the year. It starts with its original looks. While original, those looks draw inspirations from previous generation Kicks and the Juke. Finally, at least to me, the design seems like it couldn’t be anything other than a…

2024 Subaru BRZ tS Quick Review
/
/
comments
The Subaru BRZ is a fantastic driver’s car both in its native mechanical flavor and dressed as the Toyota GR86. Auto enthusiasts love to wax poetic about how the duo needs more power, yet for most mortals “slow car fast” is the fun (and more responsible) way to drive, after all. Instead of giving it…

The 2025 Ram RHO is TRX Light… But Maybe Also Bettter
/
/
comments
I always enjoyed any time I spent with the Ram TRX. It’s a 702-hp monster truck you can buy with a factory warranty and the out-of-box ability to go run Baja. Ram is downsizing some of its engine offerings, however, so the TRX had to go away. Stepping up to take its place as the…

2025 Hyundai Tucson – One Take Review
/
/
comments
The Tucson is Hyundai’s bestselling vehicle. In order not to mess with success, the year-over-year changes for this model are modest at best. But, for 2025, the Tucson did get one huge change, even if it’s not immediately visible. That change is to the interior, and that change is quite amazing. Gone is an awkward…

2024 Kia Sorento X-Pro SX-Prestige 2.5T AWD: Review
/
/
comments
October 6th, 2015, I remember it like it was yesterday. That date, a little over nine years ago, was when I published my very first press loan review. It featured a 2016 Kia Sorento, and I even made a video. I also backed it into a jersey barrier, but that’s unimportant. Whenever Kia’s midsize crossover…

One Take Review: Land Rover Defender 110
/
/
comments
Codenamed L663, the current Land Rover Defender is very different from its iconic predecessor. There is no ladder frame and there are no live axles. In place of the frame, the L663 uses two strengthened Range Rover sub-frames that are attached to a stout unibody. All four wheels are suspended individually. Double wish-bone front suspension…
