Interview: 2020 Ford Explorer Global Chief Engineer
Bill Gubing grew up in the Long Island hamlet of Smithtown, New York, with a car-guy father, but he says he devoted most of his non-academic school time to playing hockey instead of tinkering with cars. He has more than made up for that since. Gubing earned his mechanical engineering undergraduate degree from Bucknell University

Daily Driven: 2018 Toyota Tundra Limited
If ever there were a vehicle in need of an overhaul Toyota’s Tundra would be it. With its last major redesign in ’07 and two minor facelifts in ’14 and ’18, Tundra is currently the oldest of the ½-ton pickups with no indication of that changing soon. Despite this, the truck has aged remarkably well.

BMW Creates One-Off X7 Pickup for Motorcycle Show
BMW brought a one-of-one X7 pickup to the company’s Motorrad Days motorcycle exhibition, where the truck served as a showpiece of what BMW engineers can accomplish. A design exercise that likely has no future as a production model, the X7 pickup is still a pretty sweet piece of machinery, with lots of engineering and decorative

If we sat down and walked through the current portfolio of Range Rover products we’d find pavement-scorching supercharged V-8 engines, go-anywhere multi-gear transfer cases paired with locking differentials, and interiors so posh the queen herself might blush. Yet despite all of this, it’s the runt of the litter with an economical 2.0L four-cylinder engine, diminutive

Ramble On – Shared Burdens
The automotive world is fairly ablaze right now with armchair experts crying foul over platform sharing. One of the more notable examples is Toyota approaching BMW about a jointly developed sports car project, with one result the G29-generation Z4 roadster and the other the Supra A90 coupe. Critics probably unfairly reduce the Supra to a

Compression: An automotive term used by everybody, forever. Let’s get into some detail and maybe develop a better understanding. Pressure, and more pressure: It’s a must-have to produce power within an internal-combustion engine. Lighting up a mixture of air and fuel is a wonderful thing, but if the mix is not fired under considerable pressure

Daily Driven: 2019 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross
Sold between the 1990 and 2012 model years, the Mitsubishi Eclipse largely had an excellent reputation for exciting performance and bold styling, particularly in its bulging, turbocharged, all-wheel-drive first generation (codenamed by fans the DSM). Likely to cash in on that vehicle’s storied name recognition, Mitsubishi named its first coupe-styled crossover the Eclipse Cross, angering
