Considering the reputation they have for getting poor fuel economy, it makes sense that pickup truck owners have to worry about new laws and taxes eventually making them impossible to own. Forget gas prices. If states started taxing drivers based on road wear, your super-heavy truck just got much, much more expensive to keep on …

Complain all you will about Tesla and the problems it has with build-quality, but there’s no denying that it’s the electric automaker. At least in the U.S. Not only did the Tesla Model S show mainstream consumers that an EV could be a real car, it also continues to be one of the most influential …

In the past, we’ve cautioned against taking a brand’s general reputation for reliability or resale value as a guarantee that all the cars it sells will be the same. A lot of them will be within a normal range, but some will do better, and others will do worse. So be careful using this list …

We’d like to think that we do a solid job of staying on top of all the most important automotive news. At least if it has consumer value or will probably interest even casual car enthusiasts. After all, we love reviewing cars and giving buying advice, but it’s also important to make sure our readers …

Even though Mercedes never sold the G63 AMG 6×6 in the U.S., the six-wheel pickup truck is an icon over here. After all, as cool as the G-Wagen already is, a pickup truck version looks even cooler. With an extra two wheels on top of that, it might not be possible for the G-Wagen to …

Typically, people think of pickup trucks as a solid buy. Like all motor vehicles outside of the occasional ultra-collectible exotic, trucks lose value over time. But compared to a lot of those vehicles, pickup trucks have a history of holding their value pretty well. If you buy a Toyota Tacoma, that advice holds true. Over …

There are several SUVs you can buy that hold their value incredibly well. Even the Honda CR-V, the lowest SUV on the list, retains about 55% of its value after five years. The best? That would be the four-door Jeep Wrangler, which somewhat surprisingly holds its value even better than the two-door Wrangler. It’ll only …

If you’re on the hunt for a great deal on a used car, it can almost make sense on paper to buy something that’s been hit hard by depreciation. At least until you get stuck with the first repair bill. If you plan to buy new, though, that depreciation comes right out of your pocket …

Much like pickup trucks, some SUVs depreciate faster than others. If you buy one that holds its value, you’re less likely to end up upside down on your loan, and you’ll get more money back when you sell it. That may sound a little obvious to some, but buyers who don’t pay attention to resale …

In part, because new cars are incredibly expensive these days, it can come as a shock when you go to sell your car and realize it’s worse less than you thought it would be. Especially if it’s actually worth way, way less. In the past, you could generally expect a new car to be worth …

OK, so let’s say you’ve decided to buy a new car. Well, new to you at least. Used car dealers have a reputation for being shady that’s often well-earned, too, so we understand why a lot of customers find used car shopping so stressful. That’s why it also makes sense why people find the idea …

It’s hard to overstate just how big a deal the 2021 Ford Bronco is. Chevrolet recently brought back the Blazer nameplate as a somewhat-sporty crossover, but it’s far from the legendary off-roader fans were hoping for. The Bronco, meanwhile, is arguably the only actual competitor for the Jeep Wrangler. Oh, and it looks ridiculously cool. …

When you watch the commercials on your TV, you get the impression that CarMax is a friendly, professional car dealer. The actors are all dressed cleanly, and they’ve got big smiles on their faces. Oh, and unlike local car dealers, the commercials actually look like they were shot by a professional. And while it may …

Even with saddlebags, a tank bag, and a backpack, it’s hard to carry much cargo on a motorcycle. So when you see someone ride by pulling a trailer, of course, it’s going to look tempting. Hooking up a trailer to your motorcycle for your next road trip would be so convenient. But is it safe? …

No one needs the 2021 Ram 1500 TRX. In fact, there aren’t many people who actually need a full-size pickup truck. Or a pickup truck at all. But you know what? Who cares? People buy things they don’t necessarily need all the time, and in a world where people only drive what they need the …

For years, Fiat-Chrysler (now called Stellantis after its merger with PSA) has played a game we can only assume enrages other domestic automakers. Outside of the popular Pacifica minivan, which rides on a new platform, its general approach to new models has been to stuff a bigger engine into a car it already sells. For …

If you’re in the market for one of the smaller Jeeps and like the Cherokee, you’ve got more than a few options. The base version is called the Latitude, but there’s also the Latitude Plus, as well as the Altitude, Trailhawk, Limited … well, you get the point. There are seven different trim levels to …

It’s hard to overstate just how big of a hit the Telluride has been for Kia. Since it was introduced for the 2020 model year, the Telluride was not only named MotorTrend’s SUV of the Year, but it also won the 2019 NACTOY Utility Vehicle of the Year award and made Car and Driver’s 10Best …

If you don’t drive your car for several years, it shouldn’t be much of a surprise when you try to turn it on, and it won’t start. It’s normal for car batteries to lose their charge over time. But sadly, driving your car regularly still doesn’t guarantee your battery won’t ever die. So if your …

So far, we have yet to see a pickup truck offered with an MSRP above $100,000 (although a loaded Ram 1500 TRX comes close), but there’s no denying that trucks are expensive these days. That’s partly due to inflation, but all the latest safety, driver-assist, and luxury features also help jack up the price of …
