Tesla has issued a stop sale of the Cybertruck to deal with a possible unintended acceleration issue. (Tesla/) Jalopnik reported this week that Tesla appears to have issued a stop sale on its controversial Cybertruck because the accelerator pedal can get stuck down. Apparently, the metal cover on the pedal can come loose and get wedged against the bulkhead, sticking the pedal open at full throttle. The Cybertruck will hit 60 mph in 2.5 seconds and weighs as much as a small moon, in case you had forgotten. And, because Tesla, the information is based on reports from X (Elon Musk’s re-branded T ..read more

Doug DeMuro gets under the skin of the new Toyota Land Cruiser. (Doug DeMuro/) All three editors of UTV Driver were born after their automotive time. To a man, we’re routinely enthralled by past-its-prime tech and lament the march toward ever heavier, ever more isolating cars and trucks. Sure, almost everything available now is faster, quieter, more efficient, more capable, more capacious, and safer than the stuff we like, but almost none of it excites us. Toyota modernized the old-school Land Cruiser’s blocky shape and made a winner. (Doug DeMuro/) But then Toyota introduced the new Land Cr ..read more

Polaris product experts Pat McArdle and Chris Hendricks talk through the details of the 2025 Ranger XP 1000 (Polaris/) Polaris made a long-awaited update to the Ranger utility lineup for 2025 with a redesigned transmission that it says shifts 50 percent more smoothly than the outgoing model. Getting the smoother shifts took more than just lubing some cables and adjusting angles. There was some of that, too, but the work went way deeper. Polaris made big updates to the guts of the PVT continuously variable automatic in the 2025 Ranger to make it stronger and give smoother, more consistent shi ..read more

Enter, Draco UTV and a custom Polaris Xpedition ADV loaded down with everything Schrock could need to get as far ..read more

Polaris made waves in the powersports world when the manufacturer revealed the Xpedition. The overlanding-focused rec-ute came out of the factory with almost no other competitors, so no one knew what to make of it. When it dropped, we got the chance to drive the top-of-the-line four-seat SUV-style ADV model for a weekend. While we loved the most expensive Xpedition that Polaris offers, we had plenty of questions about the models that aren’t so fancy. We now have a 2024 Polaris Xpedition XP 1000 2-seater in our garage. So of course, we had to take it out for a weekend ride. But what are our tho ..read more

The 2025 Toyota 4Runner Trailhunter Edition. (Superfast Matt/) We have come to love the content from YouTuber Superfast Matt. His deadpan delivery is hilarious, and his reviews are always polished, well scripted, and balanced. His review of the 2025 Toyota 4Runner is no real exception, except that he is perfectly clear up front that he’s something of a 4Runner fanboi, having owned two fifth-gens. The review goes over in sharp detail the new 4Runner, which is very closely based on the 2025 Tacoma, and rides on the Toyota TNGA platform that carries all of Toyota’s body-on-frame 4x4s these days ..read more

The Hercules Tires TIS UT1 UTV tire. (Hercules Tires/) Hercules Tires is offering a $70 rebate on four tires in the form of a prepaid Mastercard through May 15. Hercules has been pumping out tires since your grandparents were in diapers, and we’ve been impressed with what we have seen from the company. It’s trying hard to break into the UTV market. Two years ago Hercules released the TIS UT1, which has soldiered on as its do-it-all side-by-side tire. It also makes truck, trailer, and passenger car tires. In addition to the UT1 tires, the brand dropped a set of UTV-specific wheels in late 2021 ..read more
