Ford is making leisurely chess moves when it comes to bringing the Transit Trail to the U.S. The automaker’s European branch launched the rugged van in June 2020, two months after Ford applied to the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office for a design patent for the Transit Trail’s finer features. More than a year later, […] May 01, 2022 at 01:30AM

Anyone who wants a 2022 Ford Bronco needs to get their order in before March 8, when Ford will tell everyone in the reservation line outside the Bronco club to go home. According to Ford, demand has been high enough to absorb 2022 production, and the move helps ensure anyone with an order for this […] March 01, 2022 at 07:01AM

Bronco fever hasn’t abated; buyers are still clamoring for the world’s most recent hardcore off-roader. We’d normally consider this a good problem for Ford to have, but these aren’t normal times and the Bronco isn’t a normal vehicle. Two years of industry disruptions have dropped continuous bombs on delivery times, on top of Bronco-specific ailments […] February 21, 2022 at 07:00AM

The Toyota Land Cruiser is dead. Long live the Toyota Land Cruiser 2022 Lexus LX 600 — the flagship SUV brought kicking and screaming into the 21st century with a much-needed overhaul. Back with a new powertrain, new shell and new possibilities, the LX is aimed at the top of the luxury SUV segment, taking […] February 18, 2022 at 06:10AM

TOKYO (AP) — Toyota is working with Japan’s space agency on a vehicle to explore the lunar surface, with ambitions to help people live on the moon by 2040 and then go live on Mars, company officials said Friday. The vehicle being developed with the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency is called Lunar Cruiser, whose name […] January 30, 2022 at 06:15AM

The all-new 2023 Toyota Sequoia has a lot of work to do if it has any chance of catching up with the sales leaders in the full-size SUV segment. As is the case with the 2022 Toyota Tundra upon which it’s based, the Japanese automaker’s biggest vehicles just don’t come close to the sales figures […] January 27, 2022 at 06:16AM

Back in the summer of 2019, which seems like so much longer than two and a half years ago at this point, Lamborghini showed an interesting concept called the Huracán Sterrato. It was a lifted, widebody version of the mid-engine supercar, and its name literally translated to dirt. It was quite cool, and surprisingly grounded. […] January 20, 2022 at 06:21AM

There probably isn’t a Suspension Deep Dive vehicle I’ve anticipated more than the 2021 Ford F-150 Raptor. But I tend to say that every time I get my hands on an all-new vehicle. It was true before I laid hands on the 2022 Ford Bronco I looked at recently, and I had the same thought […] January 12, 2022 at 07:01AM

American Motors began selling cars that could be driven in four-wheel-drive all the time (even on dry pavement) in the 1980 model year, and Audi followed up with the Quattro system during the following year. Those cars had true all-wheel-drive powertrains (the AWD term didn’t come into widespread use until much later), but Toyota didn’t […] January 10, 2022 at 06:20AM

A couple months ago, Ford finally confirmed what we had all assumed was coming: a Ford Bronco Raptor. Now, thanks to Bronco Nation, we get a real glimpse of the burly beast in thin camouflage instead of just some up-close teasers. A lot of it is expected, but there are some interesting surprise details. Just […] November 10, 2021 at 07:02AM

Turns out that complaining can make a difference. It also turns out that Chevy customers are just as astute at identifying a half-hearted, uncompetitive attempt at creating a truck interior as we car reviewers are. After only three years, GM went to the very unusual step of going back to the drawing board and giving […] November 10, 2021 at 06:48AM

It has been over a year since I pieced together a Ford Bronco speculative suspension deep dive using preliminary specifications, comparisons to the overseas-market Ranger Raptor, and teaser photos of a naked chassis. Today the specs are more complete, and I’ve been able to lay my hands on the real thing for a closer look […] November 04, 2021 at 07:03AM

Like Ford and Mopar, Chevrolet is bringing an array of custom vehicles to SEMA this year. The most noteworthy have been the Chevy Beast off-road truck and the electrified “Project X” hot rod. But the bow-tie brand is also showing some more lightly customized versions of its full-size trucks and SUVs at the show that […] November 03, 2021 at 06:48AM

Giving a car a name like “Beast” typically means it’s going to be outrageous, or at least it should be. And that’s exactly what the Chevy Beast concept truck is. It started as a Silverado pickup truck, and then Chevy engineers were let loose to build the monster desert buggy you see above. Yes, you […] November 03, 2021 at 06:48AM

Joining in with the big American automakers with some wild SEMA concepts is Toyota. Its custom rides this year are all trucks, including the new 2022 Toyota Tundra full-size truck. The two most impressive were built in-house at Toyota Motorsports Garage, including the showstopping Tacoma “Tacozilla” camper you see above. Let’s dig into them, shall […] November 03, 2021 at 06:18AM
