Sadly the 2024 Lexus IS 500 is the rarest of the rare,  a rear-wheel drive BMW 3 Series-sized sedan with a naturally-aspirated 5.0-liter V8. Since the demise of the Dodge Charger and the Chrysler 300 C last year, the compact IS 500 has become something of a unicorn. Think of

The 2024 Jeep Wrangler 4xe Rubicon is a beast of a vehicle and comes with all the charm, ruggedness, and unpredictability you’d expect from an off-road legend.  If the 2024 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon were a person, it would be that friend who convinces you to go camping in a thunderstorm

This is the 2024 Jeep Compass Trailhawk, which is a small crossover SUV positioned between the smaller Renegade and the larger Grand Cherokee in Jeep’s lineup. The Trailhawk trim has some pretty impressive off-road chops so we decided to skip on-road testing and head straight to the mountains for some

This is the 2024 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 ZR2, a truck GM has designed around the Silverado’s existing Trail Boss trim level with the addition of some impressive off-road hardware. You can see that Chevrolet designed the ZR2 to be a weapon for any trail kind of trail since they haven’t

The 2024 Subaru WRX TR pays homage to the original WRX TR launched in 2006 as a stripped-down, basic trim offering.  TR back then stood for Tuner Ready but this new one is not so stripped down, so today I’m going to test it and see if it’s worth it. 

This is the 2024 GMC Sierra Denali Ultimate and it’s GMCs most expensive and most luxurious offering but is it a recipe that people are going to want to buy? Today I’m going to test it and find out. The Denali badge has always been sufficient to distinguish GMC’s fanciest
