Kia’s Truck History and Future
Kia has never had much of a presence in the pickup segment, at least in the US. But when it comes to the South Korean brand’s home soil, it’s a whole different story. From an early T-600 “sambari” or “ three-footed vehicle” to the K-Series trucks that are a part of everyday life in Southeast […]
Four Must-Have Options for the Jeep Gladiator
Modifications and accessories are an inexorable part of Jeep culture.

More recently, technology has developed to make starting a car as easy as pressing a button. The key is no longer physical but electronic and wireless, enabling it to stay in your pocket so you […]
The Differences Between the Silverado 1500 and Silverado EV
It’s obvious that the Silverado 1500 and the Silverado EV are different trucks due to the fact that one is powered by a selection of all-electric powertrains, and one is powered by gas and diesel engines. But what else is different about these trucks? Is the Silverado EV just the same old Silverado with a […]
Five of the Best Used Sedans
There’s no denying that the auto industry has gone wild for SUVs over the last couple of decades while trucks have become increasingly popular for many drivers. This has left sedans, once the foundation of the auto industry, largely overlooked and even outright abandoned by many companies. This gives someone looking at used cars for […]

Much of the full-size truck and SUV world—and the automotive world in general—is moving towards putting turbocharged engines under the hood. According to data from the Office of Energy Efficiency & Renewable Energy and Research Nester, the percentage of new US light-duty vehicles with turbochargers has gone from 1% in 2000 to about 50% today.
