    Why Windshield Pillars On Modern Cars Got So Thick They're Now A Genuine Safety Risk - Jalopnik (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    If you're among the drivers complaining about outward visibility, perhaps your A-pillars are contributing to that conversation. From Chevy Bolts to Tesla Model Ys, there are countless debates online about how A-pillars in these cars are creating blind spots and near misses. Unlike cars from yesteryear, modern automobiles have much thicker A-pillars, which, if you didn't know, are the structural supports on either side of your car's front windshield. As you may have guessed already, a major reaso

    What Makes The Jeep Wrangler Rubicon So Capable Off Road? - Jalopnik (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone · English

    Read excerpt

    It's probably fair to say opinions of the Jeep Wrangler vary. Some consider it to be among the best off-roaders of all time, while others question whether the boxy Jeep actually deserves all the love it gets. Whichever camp you fall into, there's no arguing that the Wrangler has a personality of its own and an identity that's quite popular around the world. The Rubicon trim takes the Wrangler's off-road capability and dials it up a notch. While there was a V8 Rubicon 392 not too long ago, the li

    Chevy's New V8: Why Cars Will Have Engine Oil Dipsticks But Trucks Won't - Jalopnik (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Among the oldest engines still in production today is the small-block Chevy (SBC) V8, and you may have heard that GM recently took the covers off the latest entrants into the sixth-gen family — the 5.7-liter L76 and 6.6-liter L78. While the headline figures of more power and capability are all exciting news, the fact that these engines no longer feature the good 'ol dipstick might come as a bit of a letdown to ardent GM fans. Although GM is not the first company to drop dipsticks, many enthusias

    2005 Chevy SSR For Sale With 4,300 Miles May Seem Goofy And Expensive, But Counterpoint: Factory LS2 And 6-Speed Manual - Jalopnik (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    From an example with Americana written all over it to reporting on what is perhaps the worst possible Chevy SSR in existence, we've had quite a few Chevy SSR stories here on Jalopnik. For the uninitiated, it's a weird and, dare we say, goofy-looking truck from the mid-2000s that was a throwback to the 1947 to 1955 Advance Design pickups, albeit with a convertible hardtop. While the quirky little proposition may not be to everyone's taste, it does have its fans. If you're one of them, then this C

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Arriving in the not-so-distant future is the Ford Fathom — the Blue Oval's upcoming electric midsize pickup with a sub-$30,000 price tag (including destination). Built on the company's Universal EV platform, the 2028 Fathom is expected to go into production at Ford's Louisville Assembly Plant sometime next year. According to Ford, prototype Fathoms with production-qualified parts are scheduled for a Q1 2027 rollout, with customer vehicles arriving later in the year. The headline-grabbing stateme
