Ford's North American President Out, Kumar Galhotra Named As Replacement On Wednesday the automotive world was abuzz after Ford announced North American President Raj Nair was out immediately due to reports of inappropriate behavior. While rumors immediately surfaced, and people began asking if this is related to the "Me Too" movement, Ford did not release details. However, the Associated Press reported...

2018 Chevrolet Tahoe Review: A Whole Lot of Comfort & Technology I have owned two GMC Yukons in the past twenty years and loved them both. Somehow, I had thought the GMC iteration of General Motors full-size would offer more than the Chevrolet model. After driving the 2018 Chevrolet Tahoe RST Edition, I can’t imagine what more it could possibly...

Don't Forget Mazda When Shopping For A CUV Readers will not remember seeing many articles by me recounting experiences with Mazda’s over the years. Every time I do drive one, like the 2018 Mazda CX-5, I leave my week with it impressed with its features and understated elegance. Sometimes it is little things, like the push button lift-back closing, which...

2018 Kia Rio LX Review I may have found the perfect vehicle for someone just starting out in the auto market. When someone wants a first car that doesn’t flash “Hey, I’m Unique” like the Kia Soul, they need to visit their Kia dealer anyway. While there, they will find the baby in the Kia stable, the Rio. It is...

FCA Broadens Lead with 2019 Ram 1500 At the fall 2017 Texas Truck Rodeo I completely fell in love with the 2018 Ram 1500 Southfork. So much so, that I asked Ram Vice President of North America, Jim Morrison, serious details on pricing. Who knew the 2019 Ram 1500 would blow me away? Now, after reviewing the press conference for the...

2018 GMC Acadia Review Seat warmers may not be the first thing most people write about when discussing their vehicle test drive. However, I was so impressed with the near-instant heat that greeted me when I “fired up” my 2018 GMC Acadia I just can’t resist. Every day I had the Acadia to test drive, the outside weather was simply dreadful...

2018 Jeep Wrangler Review There is nothing like the original. The first four-wheel-drive vehicle created specifically to be able to go anywhere and do anything was the Jeep, created in 1941 for the United States to help during combat in World War II. Veterans loved the vehicle so much, Willys-Overland began producing models for civilian use at war’s end in...

Rugged Adventures In the Can-Am Defender Lone Star Edition I have spent a great deal of time riding off-road in pick-up trucks and SUVs, but very little in any type of ATV. Thanks to our friends at Can-Am, that all changed when I was invited with my best friend to the Ox Ranch in Uvalde, Texas. Kristin Barclay and I...
