Modifications and accessories are an inexorable part of Jeep culture. Sure, every automaker offers their cars, trucks, and SUVs in a variety of trims and colors, not to mention marketing a healthy dose of optional equipment, but at the end of the day, you’re left with a vehicle that’s largely identical to every other model […]
There are more and more people flocking to the city. After all, there’s always something to do amongst the city lights, and when it comes to career opportunities, a fast-paced lifestyle, and a packed social calendar, the city is where it’s at. Unfortunately, the city can pose a unique set of travel challenges, including dodging […]
I spent several years driving a full-size truck with a double-stack trailer loaded with rescue boats in tow, navigating major highways across the United States and congested city streets that forced a white-knuckled grip. Trailering a rig that size wasn’t for the faint of heart and was nerve-inducing, especially considering the best technology available was […]
Since joining the Jeep lineup in 2020, the Gladiator has quickly made a name for itself as one of the hardest-working midsize models on the market. The truck’s best-in-class payload capacity and unbeatable towing capacity are two notable highlights, but they’re not the only features that have made so many drivers consider a Jeep Gladiator […]
For decades, all cars started the same way: inserting a key into the ignition, twisting it, and starting the engine. 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 […]
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 […]
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. […]
You can use your turn signals, check your blind spots, and stay within the speed limit, but no matter how much you might prioritize safety when you’re behind the wheel, sooner or later you’re bound to end up in a traffic accident. We’re not trying to be pessimistic, but the numbers don’t lie. Every year, […]
Looking at the Chevy lineup these days, it’s getting harder to tell if it’s varied and offers great options for a wide range of drivers or if it’s a bit bloated and in need of some streamlining. The selection of SUVs, in particular, that you’ll find at a Chevy dealer these days could certainly be […]
Are you looking for a fun-to-drive, energetic, and technology-packed subcompact SUV? Then add a Jeep Compass for sale to your list of models to check out. In fact, add it to the very top.

Choosing the right set of tires at your local tire shop can make all the difference when it comes to outfitting your vehicle for certain applications. Are you looking to conquer your local off-road trails? A good set of all-terrain or mud-terrain tires will go a long way toward ensuring consistent traction when you need […]
General Motors has been at the forefront of North American automakers in the transition to all-electric vehicles. In addition to their oft-stated goal of only producing electric light-duty vehicles by 2035, they have motored headlong into the EV truck market, with the 2020s seeing electric versions of their Chevy Silverado pickup truck and its cousin […]
As far as I’m concerned, a full-size truck is only as good as its ability to get stuff done—and I mean for both work and play. I know there are plenty of people who like a truck for just getting around town and using it like any other passenger vehicle, but that’s not my style; […]
If you’re ever looking to fall into a particularly fun internet rabbit hole, just do a quick search for “chindōgu.” Literally translated as “strange device,” chindōgu is the Japanese art of creating impractical inventions that no one asked for. Classic examples of chindōgu include a tie that doubles as an umbrella, a small broom and […]
For more than 20 years, drivers in South America and elsewhere have gotten to experience the compact power of the Chevy Montana. Named for the 41st state, this small unibody pickup has acquired a legion of fans, and it’s widely considered the godfather of compact trucks, leading to vehicles like the Fiat Toro and Renault […]
The reports of the Charger’s demise were greatly exaggerated. While the iconic muscle car did take a brief hiatus from Dodge dealers for 2024, it’s back and better than ever. What a difference a year makes. Dodge has redesigned nearly every aspect of the Charger while folding in some classic features that are sure to […]
Towing and trailering is a trucker’s game… right? Not necessarily. Plenty of SUVs have extremely remarkable towing capacity, with some of the best having higher ratings than many midsize pickup trucks. It’s an area that doesn’t get talked about a whole lot when it comes to discussing SUV capabilities and feature sets, but it is […]
Are heated seats worth it? Do rain-sensing windshield wipers and driver-assist tools like adaptive cruise control significantly impact your experience in the driver’s seat? If you’d asked me a decade ago, I would’ve laughed because I drove a four-wheel drive, two-door SUV with an AM/FM radio. The doors and roof were usually off because another […]
Among the various factors that make the Chevy Suburban so impactful, like being the oldest nameplate in automotive history and being the only vehicle with its own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, the Suburban is also known for its power. This full-size Chevy favorite is a top pick for families everywhere with its […]
