The Sum ‘n’ Substance I don’t know how Toyota do it, but they have some how managed to put out some of the worlds best  heavy duty vehicles. From the famous Landcruiser to the rugged Hilux or the Tacoma as some may call it, all these toys are more than capable of reducing ice-boulders of the Arctic to tiny little ice cubes and treat vast deserts like children’s sand box. You don’t believe me, check out the BBC Top Gear Polar expedition which was aired in 2007. The one hour documentary is sure to create a believer out of any one, because the Hilux not only reaches the magnetic North Pole, it was also able to drive back to civilization. In other tests, the Clarkson army has not only drowned the car, they set it on fire and also dropped a massive load on it. After all the madness and brutal bashing, the Tacoma was still able to start  [...] 

Dodge has celebrated a lot of success with the Ram. every version of it, from quality to design to performance, was brilliant. Now, there is a 2010 version. Dodge just can’t seem to get enough of the Ram as they keep on releasing so many versions of it with tweaks and different body panels. Now what is the 2010 HD all about? Well, it is nearly the same, as the previous models, at least as far as the chassis is concerned and most probably dodge might have had to hit the drawing board to meet the new federal NOx emissions law laid down. So, under the swollen bonnet, there lies a 6.7 liter OHV 24-valve V8 cast-iron block that pumps out 383bhp at 5600rpm and manages a torque of 400 lb/ft of torque. This assembly is mated to a 6 speed automatic transmission. There is an optional turbo-diesel I6 engine also available which puts out 350 bhp at  [...] 

Sum ‘n’ substance: The Colorado is a small- sized pick up truck, with a front engine 5.3 liter 16 valves V8 that pumps out 300 bhp at 320 lb/ ft of torque. This setup is mated to a four speed automatic transmission. Yes, I know that I killed the ‘surprise’ at the start, but that’s what this truck is, it that uninteresting, and if you look into the Colorado searching for surprises, you may friend are wasting your time, yes you can thank me later. Right from the design to its price tag, it’s downright ugly and boring. I don’t understand why Chevy would build something so mind- numbingly boring, are they bored to push beyond ‘new and exciting bracket’? Don’t get me wrong, the Colorado still has the Chevy feel to it, it handles just fine and the ride quality is good too, because it uses the GM ZQ8’s suspension system. The  [...]
