If you can't afford a boat, then Prince Edward Island's rural character almost cries out to be seen from behind the wheel of a pickup truck, as its small villages, rocky coastline, and bright red mud provide the perfect complement to the preferred ride of country folk across the country.

Until these two new vehicles from General Motors arrived on the scene, people weren’t exactly clamouring for mid-size pickups. In fact, only the Nissan Frontier and Toyota Tacoma remained on the market, and these two models had been launched more than a decade ago and had undergone very few modifications …

Seemingly, you’d have to be more than a little crazy to hurtle a two-ton SUV up and down a 60 kilometre Yukon mountain mining road so steep that there’s simply nowhere to even attach a guard rail. And yet I found myself doing exactly that this past week behind the …

Full-size SUVs are a big money-maker for car companies, and no one has dominated the scene quite like GM with its Chevrolet Tahoe/GMC Yukon pair. The 2015 editions of each have been completely updated (along with the GMC Suburban), and The Car Guide will be driving them this week in …
