In the market for a new truck but looking for something a little different? Consider the Tesla Cybertruck. Unveiled just a few months ago, the uniquely designed pickup will be available in 2021 and 2022 (depending on the model). The good news is that buyers can reserve one now with very little money down. Tesla’s …
Although it doesn’t sell in massive numbers, the Toyota Land Cruiser is an amazingly reliable and well-regarded SUV. The rugged 70-Series, first introduced in 1984—and never in the US—has been so popular, brand-new ones are still sold in Australia. It comes loaded with off-road features, is less prone to rollovers than the Jeep Wrangler, and …
Since the first inkling that Ford might make a modern Bronco the internet has been flooded with images of how enthusiasts think it should look. In every case the desire to have it look a lot like the beloved first-generation Bronco is undeniable. But has Ford gotten the message? From spy-shot images of mules and …
When it comes to tough and reliable off-roaders, Toyota’s Tacoma pickup and 4Runner SUV are common choices. Although Jeep’s Gladiator and Wrangler can edge them out in rock-crawling, the Tacoma and 4Runner are better daily-drivers. That’s why, despite their age, they’re still popular, new and used. Used 4Runners hold their value better than almost any …
This is it, you have your new three-row SUV, with all sorts of room for activities. You get it home, and try to park it in the garage—but, oh no, it doesn’t fit. With how big SUVs and trucks have gotten, it’s not uncommon to find owners of F-150s and Silverados who can’t park their …
There are some pretty amazing vehicles in other parts of the world that the U.S. has never had the chance to buy. As automakers create lines specific to the various needs of geographic regions and foreign markets, there isn’t a need to make them for everyone. So, there are some you can’t buy in certain …
Right off the bat, we’re grateful to GMC that it didn’t take on the styling aspects of its sibling Silverado for the all-new Yukon. Without the mish-mosh of zig-zagged styling exhibited by the Silverado the all-new 2021 GMC Yukon looks like a new generation of the short-wheelbase SUVs. Without the distraction of the overly busy …
General Motors currently offers two different pickup truck models. The GMC Sierra 1500 is a powerful full-size truck that’s also available in heavy-duty versions. For lighter towing jobs or just daily driving, the midsize GMC Canyon may be the better option. Despite its smaller size, Consumer Reports still gave it a favorable review. It’s also …
While reliability (strangely) doesn’t appear in the top list of brand loyalty factors, it’s undeniably important to consumers. SUV owners wouldn’t hold onto their vehicles for so long if they couldn’t stand up to daily abuse. 3rd row SUVs especially need to be reliable, as they’re often used to transport families, although minivans are arguably …
Mercedes has made some fairly wild pickups. Engineers took a last-gen G-Class, added a pickup bed and an extra axle, and created the G 63 AMG 6×6. Customizers created the closest thing to a factory E-Class pickup. And it’s still possible elsewhere in the world to buy a stripped-down G-Class pickup. But when it comes …
Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) is a huge player in the ongoing truck wars along with fellow top contenders Ford and General Motors. FCA’s Ram models have been among the top-selling trucks in the U.S. along with the Ford F-Series and the Chevrolet Silverado. Will widespread tailgate issues hurt Ram in this crucial competition? Ram recalls In …
The Ford F-150 is a fan favorite, and we often feature stories and reviews about just how popular this pickup is with consumers. It’s a competitive truck among the “Big Three” and is routinely considered the best-selling truck in America. However, reviews and ratings don’t necessarily represent the opinions of everyone. Even the most popular …
The Bronco always gets the credit as the first four-wheel-drive SUV. But in reality, it was the International-Harvester Scout that actually was the first. And while those first-generation Scouts were good off-roaders, the second-gen is an exceptional example. Manufactured from 1971-1980 the Scout II was offered in different configurations with a multitude of interior and …
Subaru has been building quality vehicles for many years now, and impressed critics with its 2019 lineup. Each model received rave reviews for its performance, safety ratings, and stylish looks. What many consumers love about Subaru is the fact that each model comes standard with all-wheel drive. So why does Subaru choose to go with …
Ford really messed around with the F-150 SVT Lightning. Never meant as a “numbers” truck, it was a halo pickup to compete with Chevy’s 454 SS truck. But, it was not a “sticker” model. Though it shared most of its components with a garden-variety F-150, there was way more to them than that. The first-gen …
Modern pickup trucks are quite luxurious. And while that makes them more usable day-to-day, more features also means more things that can fail. Today, it’s hard to find even a base Ford F-150 work truck that doesn’t have Android Auto or Apple CarPlay. That’s one reason why the demand for classic trucks is growing, and …
There once was another Mustang. Way before the Ford Mustang we know and love. It, too, was an SUV just like the recently revealed Mustang Mach E. And it started in 1948, over 15 years before the Ford version. In fact, Ford was sued over the name because of this car. Back in 1948 a …
Some of the most extreme versions of the Mercedes G-Wagon, like the G 63 AMG 6×6 and the G550 4×4 Squared, can seem more like Transformers than actual usable vehicles. When even a base G-Wagen offers more capability than many will tap into, it can turn these luxury SUVs into symbolic toys. But the G-Class …
The GMC Canyon midsize pickup is still a great truck after all these years. But seven years with virtually no exterior changes, we finally get to see a refresh. A new front end and some other changes make for a better pickup for 2021. There’s also the new AT4 off-road package. For the 2021 Canyon, …
