Ford Confirms Sub-$30,000 Starting Price for Upcoming Fathom Electric Pickup
Ford has confirmed that its forthcoming midsize electric pickup will carry a starting manufacturer’s suggested retail price of $28,350, excluding a $1,595 destination charge.

Ram SUV to Launch in 2028
Ram has spent more than a decade building one of the strongest truck brands in North America, but one major gap has remained in its lineup. While Ford offers the Expedition, Chevrolet has the Tahoe and Suburban, GMC sells the Yukon, and Toyota fields the Sequoia, Ram has never had a full size SUV wearing…

Geotrek Flatiron Balances Compact Dimensions With Practical Off-Grid Capability
It is no secret that we are not a #vanlife kind of family. A while back, I wrote an article for my website that may have included an introduction comparing overlanding to Hendrix and #vanlife to Nickelback.

Fix Manufacturing Tools :: Field Tested
Long after my poor father gave up on trying to teach me anything mechanical, he did at least instill one important bit of wisdom: the whole “right tool for the job” thing is real. I spent $39 on a tool whose sole job is to hold my drivetrain in place so I can spin the…
2020 Mercedes Sprinter 4×4 :: Featured Classified

2021 Isuzu NPR Crew Cab 4×4 Expedition Truck :: Featured Classified
There’s no shortage of overland outfitters selling heavy-duty “expedition ready” trucks, but far fewer selling rigs built for around-the-world exploration. It’s one thing to build a vehicle fit for North America, but a very different challenge to curate a platform that will deliver consistent performance and reliability traversing every continent. EarthCruiser deliberated this very question…

BMW and Toyota Are Testing 100% Renewable Gasoline
The North American automotive industry has largely framed the future of vehicle propulsion as a choice between gasoline and electricity. Sadly, diesel sales for light- and medium-duty vehicles took a nosedive as a result of the VW “dieselgate” scandal of 2015 and have never recovered. Now BMW and Toyota are exploring an entirely new path,…
