If you live in Sweden or in conditions like those in Sweden, then you know about certain wild animals that must be avoided but sometimes can’t be. When a moose crosses your right-of-way you only have two choices. You can hit it which is definitely not recommended under any circumstances. Or, you can swerve to …
Why can’t German manufacturers build decent pickups? If you thought the Mercedes X-Class was a good pickup you can thank Nissan. The X-Class pickup was just a thinly disguised Navara. That’s in Nissan Navara. Mercedes odd decisions surrounding the X-Class didn’t help, either. Like leaving the largest market for pickups out of any distribution plans. …
If you’ve ever wanted a contemporary version of the 1970s hippie van your time ran out a few years ago. Ford’s Transit Vanwagon and the regular wheelbase of Chevy’s Express van are as close as you can get, which isn’t very much. They’re not like those tall Euro-Sprinter vans that are now sold in the …
After months of speculation, we now know that GM is bringing Hummer back. Not as its own brand, but a high-end GMC all-electric truck. However, when the news first leaked, details were fairly slim.

Could this be the first sports car-like SUV? Let’s be honest; the Porsche Cayenne or Jaguar E-Pace SUVs are, well, they’re SUVs. They’re bulky, big, and are more station wagon than sports cars. But their origins come from true sports car DNA. So does Lamborghini’s Urus SUV come from sports car heritage. But this widebody …
Sometimes, older vehicles can still keep up with their newer counterparts. Even off-roaders: a used 4Runner is just as capable as a new one, for example. However, while used off-road SUVs can be bargains, their technology is also dated. This even applies to the Mercedes G-Wagon: the luxury off-roader has really only seen two significant …
If you’re in the market for a used pickup truck, you may want to think twice before you invest in a 2015 Chevy Colorado. The Chevy Colorado is a midsized pickup truck that was marketed to have a towing capacity of 3,500 pounds while still achieving an impressive mileage of up to 20 MPG in …
When it comes to reliable off-road SUVs, the Toyota 4Runner has a lot to offer. New or used, the body-on-frame SUV, especially in Toyota TRD Pro trim, can keep up with icons like the Jeep Wrangler and Land Cruiser.

Why does Nissan do things the Nissan way? That way is to create a better midsize pickup than the one available to the largest pickup market in the world. That would be the US in case you can’t follow along. We get the Frontier, and everyone else gets the Navara. And because they get the …
*We honestly have no idea what the Karma pickup will be like but if it continues sending us silly teasers we’ll speculate like crazy* Those folks at Karma are very sneaky.

As pickup trucks have grown, there’s been a demand resurgence for trucks that scale closer to cars. Car-based trucks, aka ‘utes’, like Chevy’s El Camino, once formed a popular segment, though it’s been dormant for some time. Chevy first attempted to bring it back with the SSR. Honda and BMW then made some functional one-offs …
OK, all of you Chevy haters pile on. While this isn’t a factory-built performance truck like the Ford Raptor, it looks and performs like it.

The Ford F-150 has been the best-selling vehicle in the United States for over 40 years, and it’s thanks to statistics like this that make auto manufacturers strive so hard for customer loyalty.

The original Willys Jeep inspired the creation of quite a few iconic off-roaders. Not just the Jeep Wrangler and its CJ predecessors, but the Toyota FJ40 Land Cruiser, the original Land Rover, and Nissan Patrol.
