If you are searching for a fun, compact four wheel drive vehicle that will keep you out of trouble on the occasional foray off the road, then the Land Rover Freelander may be worth a close inspection. While the Freelander has the famous Land Rover name, it is not in the same league as the Discovery, Defender or Range Rover when it comes to its off road abilities. For starters, it does not have a low-high range transfer case. However, on the plus side for off road driving, it does include... more...

It's a gasoline-electric hybrid car and driving in the HOV lane is just one of the benefits of ownership in many states. But what is a hybrid? How does it work? Is it the right car for you and your family? A hybrid car has a both a gasoline engine and a battery.

With the rising gas prices, many people who own SUVs are feeling their bank accounts shrink every time they hit the gas pump. Last year at this time an SUV that held 25 gallons of gas cost $50 to fill up. This year the price to fill up that same tank has jumped to $75 and higher. This typically computes to $100-$125 per month more in gas expenses. For this reason, we are seeing more used SUVs on the market than ever before as people are trying to get better gas mileage out of their vehicles.<... more...

The SUV continues to b... more...

The 2006 Toyota highlander is an SUV but with super smooth riding even when you are off road you will not want to call it an SUV at all. When you get into your 2006 Toyota highlander you will know that you are going for the ride of your life. When you are looking at any SUV you would ultimately like to purchase one that c... more...

The jeep was originally a military vehicle built for the United States Army during World War II, and later produced in a line of civilian models.
