When it comes to full-sized pickups, three truck brands stand above all others. There’s the Ford F-150, the Chevy Silverado 1500, and the Ram 1500. Now, Ford recently made the switch over from a steel frame to aluminum. Aluminum, when damaged, almost always requires a replacement panel (steel has “material memory” where it can be […]
Right now, the SUV is king, dominating almost every manufacturer’s lineup. While this may seem like a good thing for utility lovers, it can be a demanding issue for car designers.

Crossover SUVs have become increasingly popular in today’s automotive market. They have the handling of a sedan or coupe, and the functionality of a sport utility vehicle. Well, sort of.

However, unlike the other rivalries we listed above, this one doesn’t prove […]
At some point, you would expect the mid-sized truck market to separate itself a little bit. You have a handful of trucks, most of which don’t have anything that makes them outstanding. It is a class full of “meh”, for the most part. If you were to take any two of these pickup trucks and […]
In one corner, you have the American brand Ford with the updated Ranger pickup that is sure to turn heads. In the other corner, the Japanese brand Honda is giving their best effort in the truck market. In the battle of the 2019 Ford Range vs 2019 Honda Ridgeline, you have a face-off against two […]

Large SUVs have become the new minivan. The modern SUV has become a different animal than its truck-based body-on-frame ancestors once were.

In the realm of mid-size SUVs, there are a lot of options to choose from – some could even argue too many options. When you have so many choices available, it can be hard to figure out where to start as you look from one to another and try to compare dozens of different specs […]

I’m not going to lie: the name “Mini Countryman” sounds like something out of a strange fairy tale or a Saturday morning cartoon to me.
