Review: 2020 Ford Everest 2.0L Bi-Turbo Titanium 4WD
By and large, the Ford Everest re-wrote the mid-sized SUV rules. It didn’t become the segment’s best-seller, but it was, the best balanced of the lot. Not only did it offer looks, but it also offered performance, capability, comfort, and refinement in equal measure. That’s why it comes as a surprise that despite facing some stiff competition, Ford has opted to keep things well enough alone. Are they confident in having developed a “future-proof” SUV some five years back, or is this a case of them running out of fresh new ideas?

Toyota Just Came Out with a 283-Horsepower Gazoo Racing Tweaked Hilux
In 2018, Toyota unveiled a Hilux tweaked by their go-fast department, Gazoo Racing.
