The crossover market is booming. Every car manufacturer has at least one, if not multiple, crossover SUVs in their lineup. Some have been an instant hit with consumers, while others still have room for improvement. Chevy has stood out in the SUV market for decades by producing rugged and reliable vehicles equipped with a variety […]
The 2023 Chevy Silverado 1500 comes from good stock. It’s a relatively young model, a truck that has not had the decades and pedigree that some of its competitors have enjoyed. However, its predecessor, the Chevy C/K series, built a legion of fans who soon learned the Silverado was every bit as good as the […]
While each year brings a fresh set of car, truck, and SUV models, there are always a few standouts. Whether it comes down to style, performance, tech features, or just pure novelty, some models simply know how to separate themselves from the pack. Higher-end performance sedans and good old-fashioned sports cars dominate our list of […]
With drivers’ increasing interest in off-roading, many manufacturers have attempted to throw their hats in the ring with cars that weren’t quite ready for the challenge of off-roading. In fact, some automakers have been accused of introducing faux off-roaders–vehicles that look like they’ll handle rough terrain but are only pretending and lack genuine trail-running capabilities. […]
Could we still get by with our daily lives on horseback? Ultimately, no, but let’s think about this for a second. If you needed to pull something heavy, would one horse suffice? Unless we’re talking about a steroid-riddled horse, more is better. A horseback rider requires one horse, but a wagon regularly requires more. The […]
One of the biggest news stories this year has been rising gas prices. It is all part of the unfortunate cycle of inflation this nation is currently experiencing. As a result, commuters and other frequent drivers are trying to find ways to save money by using less gas. If you look for a “Toyota Highlander […]
Purchasing a vehicle that aligns with your lifestyle isn’t just about body style and color––although those count, too. It’s about the vehicle’s essence and whether it speaks to your individuality. With millions of units sold, it may seem mystifying that Wrangler owners still consider their Jeep one-of-a-kind, created especially for them. But from 1970s-era two-door […]
Sometimes success is a double-edged sword. Very few manufacturers are held in as high regard as Chevy, and when you think of Chevy’s current lineup, you may not bat an eye at the history of each model—but every story has a beginning. Many do not realize this or have not known, but when you see […]
More and more, cars are becoming our homes away from home. With all the technology and comfort to be found behind the wheel, the journey truly can be just as exciting as the destination. Some automakers prioritize a cozy interior more than others, and that commitment is demonstrated by the thoughtfulness put into the cabin […]
Full disclosure: I’m a nerd. This is relevant because I like to learn about things like snow and winter tires or the differences between All-Wheel Drive and Four-Wheel Drive (there are some, but that’s not what we’re here for). Snow tires are essential for many drivers, but not everyone, and depending on where you grow […]
You’ve likely noticed that trucks are becoming increasingly fancy. It’s hard not to see it. Gone are the days when every pickup you saw looked like it just came off a long day at a construction site or ranch, rickety, dirty, and basic in design. Today, beautiful workhorses pull up that look like living rooms […]
The crossover has a number of advantages over other popular vehicle types. They’re more spacious and have more cargo volume than sedans, and they tend to go easier on fuel than large SUVs and pickup trucks. They hit a kind of sweet spot that ends up being just right for a lot of people. With […]
Some say, “a car is just a car.” Before any gearheads fly into a rage, remember that cars aren’t exactly everyone’s cup of tea. Just as knitting, painting, and playing the piano aren’t something we can all bond over, some folks are happy to purchase the least complicated, most user-friendly, and overall budget-appropriate vehicle that […]
If you’ve seen a car commercial lately for a truck or SUV, you might have noticed a tone shift. The vehicle approaches the camera almost from above, pushing boulders or waves of water out of its way, almost like some indestructible beast. Power, intimidation, control, conquer…you can practically see that these were the “tone” words […]
The internet is an interesting place, and among the plethora of knowledge it seems to include are commonly asked questions about many subjects. One of the most popular subjects resides within the automotive industry. The internet certainly delivers when you want to know everything from which car is the most expensive in the world to […]
Any business students, marketers, business owners, or social media influencers who may be reading this are likely familiar with the term brand identity. Of course, this term refers to the aesthetic, personality, and image through which a brand presents itself to customers and the public at large. Every leading vehicle brand has its own brand […]
GMC has long established itself as an automotive leader, creating some of the longest-lasting vehicles on the road today. Like in every family, there is the high achiever like the GMC Sierra pickup truck, which is one of GMC’s most wildly successful top-sellers year after year, and there is the black sheep of the family, […]
Towards the end of the 1800s, automotive technology was taking off. Maybe crawling off is better phrasing—these things were not fast. Even so, the first accident happened long before cars became a part of everyday life. An inventor from Ohio, John William Lambert, purchased a three-cylinder engine and tinkered with it until it was a […]
When looking at the auto industry, it’s easy to get excited about all of the upcoming options that are slated to hit the road next year. Whether you’re hoping to get your hands on the monstrous 2023 Ford Raptor R, looking forward to enjoying style and efficiency with the 2023 Toyota Prius, or watching the […]
For many drivers, Mazda is simply a Japanese car company with a long reputation for reliable vehicles that are also quite fun to drive.
