The Jeep Grand Cherokee L Has A 3rd Row So Your Whole Crew Can Share the Adventure
This is the Jeep for the long haul. A lifetime ago I dreamed of the Jeep Grand Cherokee L. The one that I could pile my kids, our dogs and all our stuff— beach chairs, coolers, luggage, toys—into and head to the beach to unplug and reconnect. To be a family, to let those precious…

2018 Toyota Sequoia TRD Sport Review: This Off Road SUV Rules the Road Trip
You think about this all year long. Time to do it. Our family just returned from our second annual summers-end Galveston Island vacation. It’s our goal to go every year and spend a week unwinding on the beach. And what could make a 7-hour road trip more fun than riding in a super cool SUV…
2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee Summit Review: Seriously the Most Stylish and Luxe 4WD SUV
Capability and comfort should always be drop-dead gorgeous. A celebrity on a talk show once described Oprah’s apartment overlooking Lake Michigan. It was completely furnished in white.

2015 Ford Expedition King Ranch: A Great Nest for an Empty Nest Couple
The Ford Expedition perfectly suits fishing, kayaking, hiking, shopping and fancy dinners out. Officially empty nesters, most people in our position think of downsizing at this point in their lives.

2015 Chevrolet Tahoe Review: This Truck Says YES
An SUV that delivers everything on your wish list After a couple of weeks driving the 2015 Chevrolet Tahoe LTZ, I’m a believer. I never thought a car this big would be right for me, but after a few days, I couldn’t wait for–and didn’t mind!– time behind the wheel. Small parking spaces didn’t intimidate…
