The 2023 Toyota Tundra TRD Pro is a solid yet imperfect ATV hauler (REVIEW)
|
Toyota tried to outdo the American trucks at their own game when the brand debuted the second generation of the Tundra for the 2007 model year. Burly styling and a beefy optional 5.7L V8 paired with Toyota’s famous reliability and durability, which was prioritized over cutting-edge tech over the vehicle’s run through 2021, meant it…

The Polaris Scrambler XP 1000 S takes sport-4×4 ATVs to the extreme
|
We’re getting acquainted with our long-term Polaris Scrambler XP 1000 S, a machine that exists primarily to bring about smile-inducing fun and to conquer anything and everything in its path.

The 2024 GMC Sierra 2500 Denali Ultimate is an epic ATV hauler
|
Hauling a big-bore ATV is no small feat for a light-duty pickup, especially when that four-wheeler is the monster Polaris Scrambler XP 1000 S. Payload ratings and springs suited for people moving as much as they are for moving mountains makes for a hit-or-miss experience in terms of how well the truck does with nearly…

Thanks to Garrett’s help, Bultakenstein might get some new parts fast-tracked. Things remain too cold in Eric’s Michigan garage, so he’s working on vintage audio equipment…

Last Call: Did Škoda Blow Da' Ocatvia? Edition
|
Here’s the 2017 Škoda Octavia sedan showing off its new nose. The Octavia is the Czechoslovakian company’s mainstream entrant and as such needs to be aesthetically engaging without being polarizing. I’m thinking that the car’s new nose somewhat misses the mark. What do you think? Last Call indicates the end of Hooniverse’s broadcast day. It’s…

Diecast Delights: The RAF-2203 Latvija, in 1:43 Scale
|
I’ve been accumulating (Collecting is what connoisseurs and people with selective tastes do, and I’m nowhere near as discriminating as I should be) Diecast model cars since just before I learnt that putting them in my mouth was a bad idea. Like anybody else I have owned countless dozen models and toys over the years,…

Armor, specifically in the form of skid plates and rock sliders, are vital pieces of protection for the vehicle’s drivetrain and running gear.

Can-Am Showdown, Part 1: 2023 Outlander XT 700 vs 2016 Maverick 1000R XC
|
The debate is constant. Riders adamantly stick to their sides. Simply put: side-by-side versus ATV. Steering wheel versus handlebars. Straddle seat versus bucket seat. Roll cage versus full exposure. We understood the assignment this debate necessitates; and while this is far too nuanced to ever conclude one is definitively the better machine, our goal is…
