General Motors started from the frame with changes to the all-new 2020 Sierra 3500. The truck had been falling behind its heavy duty competitors on several fronts and GMC has worked to change that with more towing, comfort, and technology compared to its previous generation. And yes, the Denali is …

There are large vehicles and then there are large vehicles. The Mercedes-Benz Sprinter is unique among big commercial vans in that it has such a myriad of configuration options, like our Passenger model with seating for 10 adults. Let’s spell that out: ten. Read the review at New Atlas.
In this vehicle review, Aaron talks about the 2020 Chrysler Pacifica in its Hybrid format. This plug-in minivan offers a lot for the family of up to eight. A few things make the Paciifca stand out, even without the plug-in hybrid (PHEV) drivetrain. See the review at CarNewsCafe.com.
The Toyota Venza returns as a 2021 model in an all-new design. Aaron is glad to see the wagon-like Venza look more appealing and Kristin likes that it’s a hybrid by default. The new Sienna minivan was unveiled at the same time, sharing the same drivetrain and with a surprise nudge-nudge finger point towards Chrysler in its announcement.
Both of these are a big deal for Toyota, whose losing ground in the smaller two-row midsized crossover segment and whose minivan has become aged against newer competition. Both of these seek to rectify those shortcomings and are definitely on point towards doing so.
Find out what we know and what we think about the new 2021 Toyota Venza and the 2021 Toyota Sienna.
In this interior walkthrough, I take the shaky cam into the 2020 Mazda CX-30. As the all-new small crossover from Mazda, the CX-30 has a lot of goodness in one package. It’s fun to drive, has a killer stereo, and is right-sized for a lot of people. Check it out and be sure to keep tabs on the channel for the CX-30’s full review coming soon.

In this review, I get into the 2020 Ford Ranger in its Lariat 4×4 package and talk about the hits and misses for this little truck. The Ranger is somewhat unique in that it gets compared to larger, more capable pickups and yet isn’t one of them and shouldn’t be confused with one. Instead, it’s a small, capable pickup with a mixture of car and truck attributes. Check it out.
*Editorial update: As commentators have pointed out, I was incorrect in stating that the Lariat trim is the middle trim for the Ranger. It is the top trim.
