    2024 Toyota Prius Prime XSE Premium Review: Less practical than before but so much better for it

    The Toyota Prius has long been the poster child for putting function over form, its lineage of awkward designs (especially that of the fourth generation car) and associated quirkiness seemingly overshadowing the ability of the vehicle to do its intended job. Yet the fifth generation car is a legitimate looker, something you don’t immediately loathe…

    As with last year, some of the press vehicles I drove this year went without a written review (though we did cover them on The Off the Road Again Podcast). Yet these cars, trucks, and SUVs are still worth mentioning, so this post covers them in short format. In chronological order from least to most…

    GM seems to be all-in on off-roader pickups these days. Its Colorado ZR2 trim spilled over to the Silverado ZR2, then to the 2500HD models, and over to GMC’s Canyon and Sierra trucks. But it’s getting to be absolute overkill: GM’s flagship off-road-focused pickup truck, the 2024 Sierra 2500HD AT4X AEV, has a hood that…

    The new generation of Chevy Colorado and GMC Canyon debuted to much applause, if not for being a solid midsize pickup in of itself than for being a huge step forward from the outgoing generation which had been on sale in North America since the 2015 model year. As a fan of the class in…

    The Chevrolet Suburban is a staple of the American road trip. Usually seen packed to the gills with both people and luggage, Chevy’s full-size, long wheelbase SUV is a go-to for families looking to go places or even just carry their kids. The brand and model have come a long way, and the High Country…

    Many of us would go so far as to call Cadillac’s Blackwing cars heroic, iconic, and legendary sports sedans. GM’s luxury brand might not lead the realm in the world’s fancy department but it sure knows how to build chassis and a saloon that drives like a much smaller car. But not everyone wants or…

    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. With a big, Aussie-style metal bumper fitted up front, the next step was to ditch the stock running boards…

    The 2024 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon 392 is the perfect example of something that makes no sense whatsoever somehow making all the sense in the world. As if Hellcat-powered Durangos weren’t proof enough, Stellantis putting the biggest naturally-aspirated engine in its toolbox into its vehicle worst-suited to controlling the big ‘ol V8 6.4L Hemi beast…

    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. Seeing as Jeep was cashing in on this by selling more of its iconic four-by-four effectively every subsequent year, Ford decided it was time to crash the party and revive the Wrangler’s main…
