Test

A lot of superlatives here on the latest GMC Yukon with "Denali" and "Ultimate" as upgrades. There's really not much to add on this glorious beast of a vehicle that can fit up to 8 people.

When you think of Cadillac you may associate the brand with luxury, elegance, and price. You are correct on two of those, at least with the XT4. This is the lowest-priced Caddy in the lineup and the compact CUV is packed with nice features including a futurist 33" display capable of 9K viewing.

Mercedes once again partners with AMG but this time they didn't perk up the engine, per se. This is due to the EQE being an all-electric vehicle and there is no gas-powered engine to play with. They did find a way to tweak with the motor to give it super speedy acceleration and creature comforts of a luxury vehicle. But the price may cause you to hit the brakes.

You want to drive a BIG BOY truck? I mean a massive truck that can haul a small home? Oh, make sure it's luxurious, too. Listen to my review of the GMC Sierra 2500 ATX. Made for comfort. Full of luxury. Ready to off-road.

Loud and proud. That's how I can describe my week in the Dodge Charger Super Bee Special Edition. 475hp and your neighbors will definitely know when you start it each morning. Dodge made only 1,000 of these models to celebrate (or rather mourn) the final year of the gas engine version as it will electrify its future productions.

Easily one of the largest vehicles on the road, the Cadillac Escalade is a monster of an SUV yet rides smooth as silk thanks to its magnetic ride control and suspension. That's just the start to describe this beast with more comfort than my home and certainly more screens. It isn't cheap but if you have the means it is tough to find a bigger and better truck.

Jeep is always a solid brand. My first SUV was a Grand Cherokee and I had a great experience. The Compass is a smaller SUV and good vehicle for those looking for a roomy, drivable Jeep.

Is there a better way to end 2023 than by test driving a pickup truck? The RAM 1500 Limited Elite helped me ring in the new year by riding high and in comfort. RAM continues to produce a powerful beast (this one can tow up to 12,750 lbs) while still looking stylish and providing creature comforts like quilted leather seats, a jeweled rotary shifter, and the tops-in-class Uconnect 5 infotainment system.

I actually prefer mid-size trucks vs larger ones. Much easier to park. Plus I don't have the need to schlep things around on a regular basis. But when I do a mid-size works quite well. Chevy's Colorado has always been a solid truck and the Trailboss version gets you off the pavement with ease featuring some accessories to make dirt, gravel, and hills easy to maneuver over.

I think Kia continues to do a fabulous job of making vehicles that have value along with styling and comfort. That includes the SUV category and the Telluride continues to be one of my faves. The 2024 version with several upgraded options in the SX model proved to handle well, fit many passengers, had a comfy ride and is packed with nice creature comforts.

We like trucks here in Texas and I like luxurious things. Boom. Here ya go. A luxurious truck from GMC and it packs a wallop when it comes to comfort, towing and also paying for it. The GMC Sierra 1500 AT4X certainly can conquer most outdoor and mountainous terrain.

Who knew Buick has a new model that is sleek and looks like it could cost $60,000 or more? Not me until I test drove the new Envista. This sub-compact vehicle may be a bit plastic inside and have not-so-sexy engine specs, but it drives well, handles great, looks incredibly awesome and costs under $30,000.

I've been test driving Jeeps (and almost every other brand of vehicles) for over 15 years. I seriously think the new Wrangler Rubicon is the best Jeep I've ever driven, Wow. Tall. Capable. Comfy. Techy. Fun. I could go on but you should just hear the rest.

The Mazda Miata is one of the most iconic sports cars and the newest version - complete with an automatic hard top - continues the tradition of a fun vehicle. It's not the largest car on the road but it definitely puts a smile on your face if you can fit behind the wheel.
