When looking at the full-size truck landscape, there are several excellent options out there. Realistically you can’t go wrong with any of the American made pickups. In fact, the Ford F-150, Chevy Silverado 1500, and the Ram 1500 are the three top-selling vehicles (not just trucks) in the United States. It says something when customers […]
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. Nowadays, it’s difficult to have a standout SUV, and it is so easy to become lost in the ‘noise’ of SUVs being released. Two […]
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. Crossover SUVs, such as the 2019 Ford Edge and the 2019 Nissan Murano, are really only SUVs in name. They are much closer in size […]
GMC’s Canyon and Chevy’s Colorado admittedly share some similarities, as they are both midsize pickups manufactured by General Motors.

Both are capable vehicles for truck […]

These two SUVs are currently going head-to-head in the market, meaning customers are naturally weighing the merits of the two brands. 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 […]
Luxury, space, and versatility are some of the major factors that buyers of full-size SUVs are looking for. Buick’s Enclave and Ford’s Explorer deliver on all three and then some.

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. These updated people movers have all the modern conveniences, without nearly any of the downfalls of the fallen truck-based SUV of yore. They move America from place to place in style and comfort […]
There is no shortage of mid-size SUVs on the road – it’s a popular market with a lot of buyers out there so it makes sense that manufacturers are clamoring to be noticed in it. With so many options to choose from, however, it can get a bit overwhelming. While more choices are always a […]

The mid-size truck market has exploded in the past couple of years. Nearly all of the mid-size truck manufacturers have either revamped, brought back to life, or completely redesigned their trucks. This market is extremely hot right now and continues to grow still as more manufacturers plan to rejoin the race for the best-in-class mid-size […]
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 […]

With practically every major car manufacturer on the planet offering their own take on this popular design, it can be a little overwhelming deciding which one is the right […]
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. I hear it and I picture some sort of tiny man, dressed in overalls and wearing a straw hat, exploring a distant countryside – perhaps riding a friendly mouse companion […]
When pitting two crossover Sport Utility Vehicles against one another, such as the 2019 Chevy Traverse vs 2019 Ford Explorer, the first thing that comes to mind is “Really? Is the Traverse really in the same league as the Ford Explorer?” As concerns full-sized SUVs and class assignment, turns out, yes it is. The Traverse […]
