This revamp of the Ford Super Duty takes place 12 years into this truck franchise, and while there have been previous remakes and three engine changes, this time around it all changes forever. With the debut of the 2011 model, we see not only a new 6.2L gasoline base engine but also an all-new diesel motor...

Two years ago, when the all-new BMW M3 was unleashed into the press fleet, I naturally planned a road trip into the mountains to enjoy its near race car-like abilities. The M3 marries seriously stiff handling and a 418-horsepower, high-revving V8, sending power to very wide tires designed for the warmth of summer. Being May, the threat of snow while...

The mid-life upgrade of Mazda’s CX7 fits nicely with the interests of most Canadians, particularly at this moment in time. First there is the addition of a new base engine which is always of interest to fuel conscious Canadians. And while this new smallish 2010 SUV already offered decent fuel economy...

It may be called the Dakar Rally, but the event is back in Chile and Argentina, with Buenos Aires providing both the start and finish lines. 2009 was not kind to car manufacturers, as the global recession saw many factory racing teams fold to financial pressures. The biggest casualty was the dominating Mitsubishi...

Ahead of purchase, you should consider two things - what terrain you plan on travelling and how many more vehicles in your party you may have to pull out. If you are a serious off-roader, you should add at least 2,000 lb. more to your selection and consider carrying a snatch block. A snatch block is a pulley that attaches...

In Canada, where snow is the norm in the winter, Chrysler decided recently to re-acquaint us with the winter capability of much of its product. So, at a Canadian-only 4x4 program at CFB Borden, near Barrie, Ontario, I had the chance to have a little adventure and, as luck would have it, it snowed all day long...

The sticking throttle issue that has been plaguing Toyota for the last several months doesn’t seem to be going away. In fact, it just keeps growing into a larger headache for the Japanese manufacturer. The hits keep coming even as the company’s American-built trucks are also part of the massive recall concerning sticking throttles...

Like so many enthusiasts, I have had a long love affair with the pickup truck. My first memory of riding in a truck was in 1972, when I rode in the box of my stepfather’s 1963 Chevy stepside pickup. I remember my brother and I having huge grins on our faces as the wind blew in them, causing our eyes to water...

The 99 percent-new 2010 Polaris Sportsman XP EPS is the latest addition to the long-standing Polaris sportsman line-up. What is the 1-percent old part, you ask? Everything on this ATV was redesigned or changed except for the shift knob, which has been borrowed from the previous generation...

The new Honda 420FM is a small machine packed into a large ATV’s body. First impressions of it might leave the rider thinking the under-500cc machine will be underpowered, but much to the contrary, the 420 motor and attached transmission give the bike ample power...
