Both the 2024 Canyon AT4X AEV Edition and 2023 Canyon AT4X off-road pickups are well suited to unpaved fun right off the lot.

Ford updated the 2024 F-150 with a new face that looks rather Ram-ish, a tailgate like Ram’s Multi-Function unit and a standard engine that puts out more power than the Chevrolet Silverado’s.

The 2024 Gladiator sports a lot of the same tasty upgrades as the 2024 Wrangler, with a few key omissions and a sad discontinuation from the prior model year.

We looked at the latest state of tailgate tech among Ford, GM and Ram to determine if Ford’s new Pro Access Tailgate is likely to be a deciding factor in bringing new buyers.

For 2024, the Gladiator receives nearly identical enhancements to its in-car technology and safety that proved to be significant additions to the new Wrangler.

The new Pro Access Tailgate available on the 2024 F-150 appears to improve its utility by eliminating the need to reach over a lowered tailgate or awkwardly tilt around a corner to get access to the bed.

Despite being designed for off-road performance, the 2023 Toyota Tacoma TRD Pro’s towing capacity is a respectable 6,400 pounds.

Our staff racked up nearly 16,000 miles on the 2022 Maverick hybrid’s odometer in the year we owned it, and our ownership experience was mostly issue-free.

After weighing whether to spend $386.73 to repair the active air dam, we decided instead to remove it entirely, which is a common solution other F-150 owners have taken.

The Maverick hybrid has unladen ride quality that’s a bit bumpy, but putting some additional weight over the rear wheels with the attached trailer — along with some supplies in the cargo box — helped make for a smoother, more comfortable ride.
