Ford F-150 vs. GMC Sierra | The Best Model Year For Every Budget
Not only are pickup trucks a big deal for Detroit, but they’re a significant part of the lives of millions of Americans.

GMC Yukon vs. Ford Expedition | The Best Model Year For Every Budget
Full-sized SUVs like the GMC Yukon and Ford Expedition represent a small percentage of all utility vehicles sold annually.

A few vehicles deserve credit for laying the groundwork for SUVs’ popularity.

Nissan Pathfinder vs. Toyota Highlander | The Best Model Year For Every Budget
Although the Nissan Pathfinder was one of the first vehicles to popularize the SUV segment, it has suffered a bit of an identity crisis since debuting in America in 1987.

Toyota 4Runner vs. Jeep Wrangler | The Best Model Year For Every Budget
While ‘SUV’ describes almost every five-door car made these days, it has a more authentic meaning: a body-on-frame utility vehicle.

The 4Runner has been part of Toyota’s […]
Nissan Pathfinder vs. Toyota 4Runner | The Best Model Year For Every Budget
In a car market saturated with SUVs, two pioneering vehicles helped launch this trend. The Toyota 4Runner hit U.S. shores in 1984, followed in 1987 by the Nissan Pathfinder, years before anyone heard of a Ford Explorer or Honda CR-V.
