2023 Toyota Sequoia TRD PRO – Surprisingly Good, Shockingly Expensive
/
The 2023 Toyota Sequoia TRD Pro is a pretty sweet machine in that it’s nicely built for off-road adventure, but can pack plenty of people and things on the inside. It looks the business and even offers up decent noise, just ignore that it’s mostly piped in via the speakers. But it’s also colossally expensive……

2018 Lexus GX460 Build: Armoring up with White Knuckle Off-Road Rock Sliders
/
One major aspect of the quest to make a properly capable off-road rig out of my 2018 Lexus GX460 has been improving and increasing protection from the things that try to damage it on the trail.

The Ford Bronco is easy to like but hard to love (REVIEW)
/
Up until 2021, if you wanted a modern four-seat convertible vehicle with four-wheel-drive it meant buying a Jeep Wrangler, simple as that.

2023 Challenger R/T Scat Pack Swinger Special Edition Quick Review
/
“The more things change, the more they stay the same” – Some proverb who might have forecasted the trajectory of the still-current, outgoing Dodge Challenger. Aside from tinkering with cosmetics, changing transmissions, adding a boatload of power, and ramping up the special trims offered, the car has stayed true to its roots as a big,…

What is Rennsport? A look into the celebration of all things Porsche
/
Over the course of my weekend at Porsche Rennsport Reunion 7, I heard a common refrain that no other brand in the world could bring people together in the same way.

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…

ZR2 Bison: Off-Road in the new 2024 Chevrolet Colorado and HD

The ZR2 package first debuted in showrooms almost 30 years ago (insert shocked emoji face). Specifically, the ZR2 “Regular Production Option” (the 3-digit standardized code used by GM to designate specific options and modifications) first debuted on the 1994 Chevrolet S-10 and the GMC Sonoma pickup trucks.

Two Cars for Team Hooniverse at the 24 hrs of Lemons Buttonwillow
/
Running a car at a 24 Hours of Lemons race never goes perfectly to plan. But we’re inching closer to seeing what that might be like for us. This was our second race running a two-car team, and we turned a whole lot of laps. In the end, one car was driven on the trailer,…

This is my second time with the third generation Sequoia in the last year, I previously spent a lovely week with a 2023 Platinum back in September.

2023 Volkswagen Jetta GLI Autobahn: Review

The Volkswagen Jetta is now in its seventh generation. Seven! I don’t really remember the first gen Jetta (A1) but it was actually the best selling European car in North America. I guess that was relevant based on what was available at the time, but I can say for certain that I remember the second…

2023 GR Corolla vs. 2023 Corolla Cross: Which Non-Corolla Corolla is Best?
/
I know what you’re probably saying “have you gone mad?”. Comparing Toyota’s “Gazoo Racing” (GR) Corolla with their Corolla Cross compact crossover makes absolutely no sense. However, there is a method to my madness. Which of these $35,000 Corollas, neither of which is actually a Corolla, is best? I’ll run them through a comparison test…
