Plugging In Your Mitsubishi Outlander SUV

For the most part, you don’t think of a plug-in hybrid as being a vehicle that is larger, offers you more space, and gives you the capacity and capability you need for a family. While we’ve already seen a minivan model that allows us to have the benefits of plug-in EV capability, we don’t often see this function in an SUV. That’s about to change as one model will make its way to the market in the US over the next few months to give us a vehicle that will become the right choice for us on our roads with the range we’re looking for.

Small Honda Bikes Could Return to the US Soon

We’ve seen the small Honda bikes that are used on the tight streets and alleys in Japan that are offered by Honda and other Japanese manufacturers, but we don’t normally see these little bikes make their way to the US market. With more city dwellers that want to be able to use their own mode of transportation than in the past, the call for these small motorized bikes are making a comeback in the US and Honda has a pair of them that will be offered for the future of driving around cities.

More Power Equals Faster Race Times in the Challenger

One of the most talked about cars on the market today is the Dodge Challenger. Ever since FCA put a supercharged 6.2-liter V8 engine under the hood of the Challenger and called it a Hellcat we’ve been in awe of this car. The first offering of this model is called the Hellcat and it’s able to offer us as much as 707 horsepower in order to give us the power we want for the ride at the track or on the road. This was the crown jewel of the Dodge lineup until it was improved upon and it is ready to race. (more…)

Ford Offers More Commercial Trucks for the Big Jobs

Even though the half-ton market of the pickup truck market is where you find the largest number of sales from Ford, but Ford has done a masterful job of capturing another area of the market as well, the commercial market. This brand is the one that has been building the bigger trucks that offer incredible power for the work that needs to get done. When you see a box truck or a dump truck on the job sites around the country, many times, the truck getting the work done is a Ford. (more…)

The Toyota RAV4 Loses its Diesel Engine Option

The European market has been the best-known for being supportive and a staunch admirer of the diesel models that can be driven on the road. As the continent where more of these models are sold than any other, it seems that this fuel option was to continue on and be a strong performer for many years, even after the waters had been muddied in the past few years. That prediction seems to be completely false with the sales of diesel models plummeting over the past several years. The models that use diesel for fuel used to be popular in Europe. (more…)

The GMC Sierra Denali is a More Comfortable Work Mate

The GMC Sierra has always been all of these things, but one thing you should ask of your truck that most don’t offer is comfort.
