Heads-up displays (HUDs) used to be a fighter jet thing. Now you can find them in a Mazda CX-5. That’s how far the technology has come. A HUD projects key driving info — speed, navigation, safety alerts — directly onto your windshield or a small screen in front of you. Your eyes stay on the…
Buying a midsize SUV for towing comes down to one number: towing capacity. Get that wrong, and no amount of nice interior or good fuel economy is going to save you on a steep hill with a loaded trailer behind you. The good news? Midsize SUVs have gotten much more capable in recent years. Several…
Truck prices have gotten out of hand. The average new pickup truck now costs around $55,000 — more than most people expected to spend on a house payment, let alone a vehicle. But there’s a bright side: if you’re willing to skip the chrome trim and the sunroof, there are still some solid trucks you…
Seven seats sound like the obvious choice when you’re shopping for a family SUV. More seats, more flexibility, right? But six-passenger SUVs have a real argument that often gets overlooked. When you swap the second-row bench seat for a pair of captain’s chairs, each of those middle-row passengers actually gets a proper seat with armrests,…
Ask most car shoppers what they look for in an SUV, and you’ll hear the usual answers — reliability, fuel economy, cargo space. Visibility rarely makes the list. But spend a few months driving a vehicle with thick roof pillars or a high beltline, and you’ll start to understand why it matters. Blind spots aren’t…
Getting older doesn’t mean slowing down — and it certainly doesn’t mean settling for a car that makes driving harder than it needs to be. If anything, reaching your 60s or 70s is the perfect time to be intentional about what you drive. The right SUV can make a genuine difference: easier to get in…
Sport utility vehicles have come a long way. What once meant a heavy, sluggish box built purely for hauling has evolved into one of the most exciting segments in automotive history. Today, you can walk into a dealership, spend less than $50,000, and drive home in something that hits 60 mph in well under six…
The United States has long had a love affair with big, heavy vehicles — and SUVs are at the center of that relationship. Some of the heaviest ones on the road today tip the scales at well over 8,000 pounds, which is roughly the same as three full-grown horses. And that weight doesn’t come from…
One primary reason to buy a 3rd-row SUV when choosing your next vehicle is simple: you need the space. These spacious vehicles offer versatility for school runs, road trips, and everything in between. You can keep the 3rd row folded down for extra cargo room, or raise it when the whole crew comes along. Third-row…
A car is not only a vehicle for some people, especially for a single man. It is not only a vehicle for them. Some men are keen on their cars because they become their identity. Their car represents their style and taste. Thus, it is understandable that some men have their dream cars. When a…
