Let’s face it: SUVs are hot, and the bigger the better. If a sprawling, seven-passenger SUV is what you’re after, GMC certainly has you covered. However, some buyers want something practical and efficient without sacrificing the conveniences of a crossover, such as the ease of loading and unloading the cargo area or the ability to…
If you’re in the market for a new full-size pickup truck and haven’t quite come around to the idea that a turbocharged V6 can pile on the mileage the same way an old-fashioned V6 or V8 can, consider this truck. It appeared on a dealer lot in October of 2024 sporting more than 200,000 miles…
Shortly after the redesign of the Tundra in 2022 came the redesigned Sequoia, built off the Tundra platform.

Though the Crown Signia technically debuted as a 2024 model, it reached the inventory of Sharp Automotive and other Toyota dealers well after it could contend for MotorTrend’s 2024 SUV of the Year Award.
