Crossin’ The Line With The Ford Bronco Sport Free Wheeling 4×4

by Rich Taber One doesn't need a photo finish to recognize that Ford has a winner on its hands with the colorful 2024 Bronco Sport Free Wheeling Edition. Does it cross the line, though, with its retro styling? Apparently, yes it does! And, in a good way, too. Everywhere I went with this charming SUV during my weeklong testing, strangers either nodded approval, gave thumbs-up or called out "Nice car!" affirmations. Talk about ego boosts. All the attention couldn't help but slant my unbiased intentions and create good free-wheelin' vibrations about the five passenger SUV. I think it's the nostalgia…

2024 Ford Ranger XLT: A Just Right Mid-Size Pickup

A Splash of Chrome adds a Touch of Class to a Capable Middle of the Lineup Truck by Peter Ciani When the average Jane or Joe hunts for a new midsize pickup, chances are they'll aim for the middle of the lineup at their local dealership. More than likely, that will be a Ford dealership, and that's when the 2024 Ford Ranger XLT will come into their sights.

2024 Genesis G70 3.3T Sport Prestige

9-06-24 Featured Vehicle By Rich Taber If there's one word to capture the sublime combination of performance and luxury in the Genesis G70 3.3T Sport Prestige, it is 'authentic'. We here at RPM News Weekly had the opportunity to drive this vehicle for a week this summer, during which time we traveled from SouthCoast Massachusetts to Philadelphia and back, and concluded that it far exceeded the usual compliments for comfort, stability and driving satisfaction. If one can travel for six hours straight in a sedan (with a couple of short rest stop breaks) and not feel achey all over from…

2024 GMC Canyon AT4X AEV Edition

8-30-24 Featured Vehicle By Rich Taber The GMC Canyon AT4X is not for everybody, but that's okay. Not everyone needs (or wants) the prodigious off-road capabilities this mid-size pickup truck has to offer. For those that do, the special AEV Edition of the Canyon takes off-road performance and recreational adventure to totally rarefied heights. It's not just that the four-wheel drive truck's turbocharged 2.7-liter engine with 310 horsepower and 430 pound-feet of torque can muscle its way up the side of a mountain while towing a trailer or carrying a heavy load. What sets this workhorse apart from the herd…
