Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat vs. Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 in latest Head 2 Head

Watch the Youtube video here: http://youtu.be/9WIjTBBuLp0

"Olympian" is one of the terms we use to signify the greatest height, the seat of the gods. Yet Mt. Olympus is the second-highest peak in the Balkans ranges, overshadowed by the crest at Musala in Bulgaria's Rila mountains. Both great heights, but one is a little higher. That's how we get the Olympian Chevy Camaro ZL1 pitched at the Musalic Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat in Motor Trend's latest episode of Head 2 Head.

The side-by-side spec sheet is filled with farcical numbers. For the ZL1, that's…

Ram van leaves Transit stuck in snow

Ram ProMaster vs For Transit in snowAfter snow flooded large swaths of the nation, Ram showed off the prowess of its front wheel drive ProMaster in a short new commercial, showing the van racing a Ford Transit up a hill in Houghton, Michigan.

It did not take long before the Transit got stuck on the mild 20% grade, in fairly shallow snow.

A Ram spokesman wrote the video was filmed while the vans were empty, but that they had the same results when the vans were loaded up to half their payload capacity.

Both vans are relatively new to the US, but are based on established…

Now, if you've purchased your car with no intention of selling it or trading it in in the future, then resale value isn't very important. At least not financially. But typically, when a car has a consistently high resale value, then it’s a car that also…

2015 Ram 1500 Rebel drops the crosshairs, muscles in with new snout

Off-Road Model Targets Those Who Like To Play Dirty

Emboldened by record sale and increasing market share, Ram continues to spin off derivatives of its fullsize pickup. Bowing at today's Detroit Auto Show, the 10th model based on Ram's 1500 series is the new-for-2015 Rebel, and it's designed to capture the affections of that exceedingly popular marketer's bogey, the "active lifestyle enthusiast."

Ram officials figure they've already got the hunt/fish/camp crowd all sewn up with the 1500 Outdoorsman, so the Rebel's imposing snout strikes out in a different direction in search of…

Challenged And Charged In 2014

2014 comes to a screeching halt today, and as we say hello to another year, we also say goodbye to some great memories.

That thrill we felt in 2014 when we heard about the hot new features in the Dodge Challenger and Dodge Charger is one we will feel in 2015 when we get behind the wheel of the Challenger SRT Hellcat and Charger SRT Hellcat. At least we hope to get behind the wheel…

2014 Ram 4500 HD Chassis Cab 4x4 Crew Cab

There’s no better way to evaluate a van or a truck than to, you know, actually use the thing in the manner for which it was designed. So when this author recently decided to spend a few days doing some heavy lifting around the house, we determined it a good opportunity to conduct just such an assessment.

We initially wanted to test a bare-bones, long-box, regular-cab version of the current Ram pickup—almost every example that comes through this place is loaded to the gills—but we quickly learned that no such vehicle existed in Chrysler’s press fleet…
