comments
Technology in cars is an interesting thing. It’s a bit like boiling the frog by gently turning up the heat little by little. If you go back to a car pre-2005, you’ll see that the tech didn’t change that much between then and the early ’90s. Somewhere around that 2005 time frame, manufacturers started tossing…

While most of the automotive industry’s shift into crossovers and sport utility vehicles have gone with a car-based unibody, General Motors is getting it done with an old-school, full-frame, truck-based chassis on the Chevrolet Suburban, GMC Yukon, and the Cadillac Escalade. Having sampled the Escalade in long wheelbase form several months ago, I was interested…

Both wear Roush TVS 2650 superchargers. The Mustang has an active exhaust system, while the F-150 gets a two-inch lift and the…
