When it comes to popular off-road SUVs, it’s hard to top the Toyota 4Runner and Jeep Wrangler. Their designs and rugged features make them the #2 and #1, respectively, least-depreciating vehicles in the US. Muscle cars get traded in for Wranglers, and the Jeep is now available with a diesel; soon, a plug-in hybrid version …
Ever since Tesla showed its Cybertruck pulling an F-150 uphill, towing tug-of-war videos have surged in popularity. One YouTube team even attempted a Tesla-Ford rematch and highlighted how difficult it is to compare ICE trucks with electric ones. But are tests like this actually useful, or pure publicity stunts? Recently, Edmunds.com took two popular off-road …
Jeep’s on a mission to improve its green credentials. The brand’s planning on going electric, for one. And the Wrangler now has a diesel that will likely come to the Gladiator. But the Wrangler isn’t done with efficiency improvements quite yet. We’ve known about plug-in hybrid Jeep SUVs for some time—FCA has been retooling its …
Although the Ford Ranger may not offer a V6 or a manual, the mid-size truck does have other things to offer. Especially for off-roading. Overlanders can breathe easier with an ARB winch-ready bumper, for instance. And, while we can’t get the official Ranger Raptor in the US (yet), Texas tuner PaxPower can get you the …
When it finally comes time to trade-in your truck or SUV, you want to get as much for your wheels as possible. Some models, like the Toyota 4Runner and Mercedes G-Class, hold out well against depreciation. Others, though, don’t. But making sure your specific vehicle has a high trade-in value can be tricky where features …
People often think off-roading requires specialty vehicles. So, they put up a Jeep Wrangler’s or Land Rover Defender’s drawbacks to be able to crawl over rocks. Or they shell out large sums for Mercedes G-Wagons or Rolls-Royce Cullinans. But then they worry about damaging their expensive SUVs. And while inexpensive off-roaders like the Suzuki Jimny …
The merger between Fiat-Chrysler and PSA Group is finalized with both parties signing the paperwork. It will take a while to absorb the impact of 14 brands across the world now housed within one company. With this much coming together you know some will be killed off from overlap or lack of significant sales. We …
While the Jeep Wrangler’s off-road design does compromise somewhat on safety, it’s also what makes the SUV so popular. While the Gladiator pickup truck may provide more utility and on-road refinement, the Wrangler is still the one to get when it comes to rock-crawling and other technical kinds of off-roading. But is the Wrangler good …
Full-size Jeep Cherokees are white-hot in the collector market right now. At least that’s what our friends at Hagerty Insurance tell us. Why do they know? Because they insure classic and collector vehicles. Once new policies start rolling into their offices, they can track the volume. They also see the cost of the vehicles and …
Mitsubishi has made its fair share of icons, especially when it comes to SUVs. The Mitsubishi Pajero/Montero has been a seasoned rally competitor, and it’s an affordable off-roader, too. But there’s one classic SUV that Mitsubishi made that’s little-known in the US. Which is a little surprising, considering it’s based on the Wrangler’s descendant. Before …
Shocked and skeptical is the best way to describe what Jeep global president Christian Meunier told a group of journalists in New Zealand yesterday. Aiming to be the “greenest SUV brand in the world” he said all Jeep models will become electric by 2022. We are at the precipice of 2020 and nothing in the …
