Full Review

2017 Ram 1500 Quad Cab

I owned a Dodge Ram 2500 back in 2003 and it had a Cummins Turbo Diesel engine, at the time unavailable in the 1500 version. Now Dodge differentiates itself from the competition by offering it in the light duty model. Shame then that our 2017 Ram 1500 Quad Cab tester

The 2026 Toyota RAV4 Woodland Plug-in Hybrid isn't just about looking adventurous — it can actually handle some serious dirt. 🌲💨 Watch the RAV4 Woodland tackle loose, dusty terrain and show what its off-road-focused setup can do. With Trail and Snow modes, all-wheel drive, and up to 80% of the available power sent to the rear wheels, the RAV4 Woodland is surprisingly capable when the pavement disappears. Is this the most capable RAV4 ever? #ToyotaRAV4 #RAV4Woodland #RAV4WoodlandPHEV #ToyotaRAV4Woodland #OffRoad #OffRoadSUV #PHEV #Toyota #SUV #2026RAV4 #CarReview 1:51

2 COOL things about the 2026 Toyota RAV 4 Woodland

August 21st

The 2026 Toyota RAV4 Woodland Plug-in Hybrid looks like it was built to conquer the wilderness. Chunky tires, blacked-out trim, roof rails, tow hitch, and orange accents all suggest that this RAV4 spends its weekends crossing rivers and climbing mountains. But here's the funny thing: it probably spends most of its life outside Costco. Underneath all the outdoor adventure styling is something rather surprising — a 324-horsepower plug-in hybrid capable of hitting 60 mph in just 5.2 seconds, delivering nearly 50 miles of electric driving, and still returning around 35 mpg once the battery is depleted. And on the road, the Woodland may actually be the **best-driving RAV4 Toyota has ever built**. Its taller-sidewall tires and suspension make a huge difference on potholes, broken pavement, and rough back roads, while the steering and handling are surprisingly good. It's comfortable without becoming a rolling sofa. But is the Woodland really an off-roader, or is it mostly an excellent road-going SUV wearing hiking boots? In this review, we look at the exterior, interior, performance, ride and handling, cargo space, practicality, plug-in hybrid system, and whether the Woodland PHEV is worth its nearly $48,000 price tag. **2026 Toyota RAV4 Woodland PHEV** • 324 hp • 2.5-liter 4-cylinder plug-in hybrid • 0–60 mph: 5.2 seconds • Nearly 50 miles of electric range • Around 35 mpg with a depleted battery • Cargo space: 37.8 cu. ft. / 70.4 cu. ft. seats folded So, is this the ultimate RAV4 — or just a Costco cruiser dressed for an expedition?

2026 Toyota RAV4 Woodland PHEV Review: The Best RAV4 Ever?

August 21st

The gas-powered 2026 Dodge Charger R/T is back, but there's one rather enormous problem: the Hemi is gone. Instead, Dodge has fitted the new Charger R/T with its 3.0-liter twin-turbo Hurricane inline-six, producing 420 horsepower and 468 lb-ft of torque. With all-wheel drive, an 8-speed automatic transmission, and a claimed 0–60 mph time of 4.7 seconds, it's quick—but can the Sixpack really replace the Hemi that made the Charger famous? In this review, I take the 2026 Dodge Charger R/T for a real-world test drive to find out. We look at the new Charger's styling, size, weight, interior, technology, performance, handling, ride comfort, AWD system, Sport mode, pricing, and practicality—and, most importantly, whether this new gas-powered Charger still feels like a proper muscle car. The R/T tested here also has the Performance Package, adding performance suspension, Brembo brakes, launch control, line lock and 20-inch wheels. In this review: 2026 Dodge Charger R/T walkaround 3.0L Hurricane Sixpack engine 420 horsepower / 468 lb-ft 0–60 mph performance AWD and rear-wheel-drive Sport mode Performance Package Brembo brakes Handling and steering Ride comfort Interior and technology Rear-seat space Hatchback cargo space Pricing and options Sixpack vs. Hemi Final verdict The new Charger is big, heavy, and missing the V8 soundtrack, but it also has plenty of torque, surprisingly good throttle response, a comfortable ride, and more practicality than the old Charger. So is the 2026 Dodge Charger R/T a worthy replacement for the Hemi-powered Charger—or has Dodge taken the muscle out of the muscle car? Watch the full review to find out.

How do you improve on something that already weighs nearly 10,000 pounds and produces 1,160 horsepower? GMC's answer is simple: add carbon fiber. The 2026 GMC Hummer EV Pickup is one of the most ridiculous vehicles you can buy today. This 1,160-horsepower electric truck weighs nearly 9,000 pounds and can accelerate from 0–60 mph in a claimed 2.8 seconds. In this review, I drive the 2026 Hummer EV Pickup and test its acceleration, handling, ride, technology, off-road capability, practicality, and sheer absurdity. This is the Carbon Fiber Edition, the quickest Hummer EV yet.

The 2026 Volkswagen Taos SE Black isn't the fastest, flashiest, or most exciting SUV you can buy. But after spending time behind the wheel, I came away with one surprising conclusion—it might just be one of Volkswagen's most underrated vehicles. In this in-depth review and test drive, I take a close look at the updated 2026 VW Taos to see whether it deserves a place on your shopping list. We cover performance, ride quality, cargo space, interior technology, pricing, fuel economy, and whether the optional SE Black Package is actually worth the extra money. Powered by a 174-horsepower turbocharged 1.5-liter engine paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission, the Taos won't win many drag races, but it delivers solid handling, a comfortable highway ride, and more practicality than you might expect from Volkswagen's smallest SUV. In this review: Exterior walkaround SE Black Package features Interior and technology Cargo space and rear seat room 0–60 acceleration Real-world driving impressions Highway comfort Pricing and value Is AWD worth it? Final verdict If you're considering a compact SUV, this review compares the Taos with rivals like the Honda HR-V, Toyota Corolla Cross, Mazda CX-30, Subaru Crosstrek, Hyundai Kona, Kia Seltos, and even Volkswagen's own Tiguan to help you decide which is the better buy. 👍 If you enjoy honest, independent automotive reviews with a bit of British humor, don't forget to Like, Subscribe, and hit the notification bell for more new car reviews every week. #VWTaos #VolkswagenTaos #VWReview #CompactSUV #CarReview #RoadTestReviews #Volkswagen 11:14
