Whether analog or digital, instrument clusters have historically been mounted on the driver’s side dashboard above and/or behind the steering wheel. It was as close to a universal feature as […]
If you were born after 1990 or so, you may not remember the halcyon days of the manual transmission. These were not the swift mechanisms that eagerly pop into position with a flick of the wrists. Instead, you might find yourself standing with all of your weight on the clutch while trying to put hardly […]
There’s no question that when it comes to pickup trucks, drivers have a heck of a lot of options. In some cases, the only real difference between trucks is the brand name.

As the automotive world keeps moving towards an all-electric future, affordability remains the elephant in the room. The downside of all the recent innovations is that many consumers still feel priced out of the green transition.

That’s rapidly becoming science fact as cutting-edge tech finds its way into a new generation of cars, trucks, and SUVs. Automated driver-assistance systems (ADAS) like adaptive cruise control, […]
Everyone knows that Toyotas last well beyond other models on the road. My own Corolla was stranded under a tree once after a hurricane, and it still purred like a kitten when I started it back up. Nonetheless, anyone interested in a used vehicle may be apprehensive about quality. This also applies to Toyotas, even […]
While massive infotainment screens, off-road trims, and luxury features have become increasingly important considerations for drivers searching for a new vehicle, advanced safety tech represents the real arms race in today’s auto industry.

Imagine if you could buy a car the same way you buy presents for your in-laws. Hop onto Amazon, type in a few search cues, click a few buttons, scroll, “add to cart,” go through the checkout, click to confirm the purchase, and you have a car. For some drivers, this is a reality as […]
For more than 20 years, the BMW X3 has proudly waved the flag as the compact entry of BMW’s famed X series. Introduced just a few years after the X5, which marked the automaker’s foray into the SUV market, the X3 eventually surpassed its big brother, regularly topping all other BMW vehicles on the annual […]
When you’re shopping for a used vehicle, it makes sense to stick with a brand you trust. Used models can require more upkeep than new ones, so you want to make sure you’re getting something that was constructed well in the first place and won’t need a bunch of extra maintenance as it ages. If […]

If you’re browsing at your local dealership and see a Honda Passport and a Honda Pilot for sale side by side, you’d be forgiven for not knowing the differences between the two models. While the latest redesign of the Passport has helped make it more visually distinct from the Pilot, they are both still midsize […]
In a perfect world, every EV would use the same type of charger in every situation, much like you use the same gas pump for every ICE vehicle. But much like there are USB-C cables for Android phones and Lightning cables for Apple phones, EV operators have several charging port options, and they must know […]
Every driver appreciates a vehicle that’s filled with all the latest tech, and the pickup truck industry showcases this perfectly in certain models. The midsize Canyon is a fan favorite for many travelers, especially those who desire better capabilities than what sedans and SUVs can offer yet don’t want to drive a cumbersome vehicle around […]
The world of electric vehicles is brimming with acronyms, and it’s not always easy to keep them all straight. While “EV” itself is pretty well established at this point, there are plenty of people who aren’t familiar with terms like BEV, HEV, and PHEV—and now a new member has joined the club: EREV.
