For many people, full-size trucks are all about full-size power and performance; they focus on engine sizes, horsepower and torque, and capability in terms of payload and towing capacities.

With a BA in English and a love of all things riding on four wheels (or six wheels if we’re talking about a dually, and you know we are), Greg Wiesen took the automotive journalism field by storm thanks to his dynamic writing style and ability to articulate the unintelligible. For more than a decade, Greg has lent his skills to writing about a wide range of topics, but exploring the latest cars, trucks, and SUVs has become his true passion.

Jeep Chooses to Play It Safe With BEVs
Some days, it feels like it’s never been harder to know what’s going on with the auto industry.

What Is Push-Button Start and How Does It Work?
For decades, all cars started the same way: inserting a key into the ignition, twisting it, and starting the engine.

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.

With the 2025 Equinox, Should Chevy Sunset the Blazer?
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 Toyota Tundra Takes Terrific Towing Tech to the Top
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; […]
What Does Jeep’s Electric Future Look Like?
Ready or not, the electrified future of the auto industry is on its way—each year is making this clearer, though there are still plenty of infrastructure issues that need to be figured out to make electric vehicle (EV) ownership everything it should be.

Should Chevy Go High-End With the Colorado?
Right now, Chevy offers five different trims for the midsize Colorado pickup, giving drivers plenty of options to choose from.

If someone’s interested in a Chevy Colorado for […]
Do You Really Need to Check Your Brake Fluid?
That’s a great question with a simple answer: Yes. Beyond this reductive point, however, are a few more things that you should consider when it comes to your brake fluid and making sure your vehicle can safely slow down and stop.

My Favorite Controversial and Hilarious Car Model Names
Car model names are an interesting thing. They don’t happen by accident, and these days, there are almost certainly entire teams of people working on choosing a name for each model. The results can vary in terms of impact and quality because this kind of marketing and brand labeling isn’t an exact science. Sometimes, the […]
Can I Tow a Trailer With My SUV?
Many people have no interest in towing and look at used SUVs for sale with an eye toward passenger space, cargo capacity, and interior comfort. That’s a valid way to shop for a vehicle, and these are all important considerations. But that leaves them without really thinking about the full potential of an SUV and […]
9 Benefits and Drawbacks of Choosing an Older Car
If one thing’s become clear in recent years, it’s that simply existing is becoming more expensive with each passing day.

Is Chevy Trying to Outdo the Mustang Mach-E?
As I’ve looked at the EV market right now, what’s on the horizon, and Chevy’s offerings in particular, this is the question I’ve been left with.

Kia’s Hybrid SUV Lineup
Gone are the days when driving an SUV meant sacrificing fuel efficiency in favor of cargo space, extra rows of passenger seating, or go-anywhere capability. Modern hybrid drivetrains make it possible for a vehicle to offer all the space, seating, and power that you could want while still achieving decent mileage. If you visit your […]
What Does the Mustang Mach-E Get Right?
For more than a century, Ford has been making some of the most popular vehicles on the road. That’s a legacy you can’t buy or find a shortcut to; it has to be earned. This kind of reputation does two things: it tells us what Ford has focused on in the past and creates a […]

At this point, you could safely call the Chevy Malibu “America’s midsize sedan” for a couple of reasons. For one, it’s one of the most popular and impressive sedans on the market.

Chrysler Is Committed to an Electric Future
This is a time of upheaval and change for the auto industry, one that will impact the vehicles we drive for decades to come in much the same way the oil crisis of the 1970s did. Although there are some people not in favour of it, there’s no denying that car manufacturers are looking at […]
Why It’s So Hard to Figure Out Which Vehicles Are Best
A friend of mine recently asked me which car companies I would recommend—he wants to get a used vehicle, but he’s not sure where to start. I started to give him my usual answer about checking out how different brands are ranked at the moment, but then I realized I had a problem. I wasn’t […]
