How an $800,000 Overlanding RV Rig Gets Made

1 day ago | motortrend.com | Billy Rehbock

A good overlanding rig balances hardcore capability with the desired creature comforts without compromising durability. It’s a delicate balancing act with which the folks at Hunter RMV are all too familiar, having been in the business of building expedition trucks for more than a decade. We toured the overlanding rig builder’s headquarters and took a closer look at several of its products to get a better sense of what it takes to get one of these rugged mobile homes rolling.
Driven: Bug Out in Ex-Military Style with the Hunter RMV Acela Sherpa X

1 day ago | motortrend.com | Billy Rehbock

Military surplus tech is a fantastic foundation to get premiere expedition-truck capability. That’s why the folks at Hunter RMV chose the Acela Monterra GL 4x4 platform as the basis for this Sherpa X overlanding rig. While visiting the builder’s headquarters in Minden, Nevada, we sampled what the Acela Sherpa X is capable of in its element. As Solid a Platform as You Can GetHunter RMV uses the Acela Monterra GL 4x4 platform for good reason.
2025 Polestar 4's Final Pricing Reveals Higher Base MSRP, But It's Still a Decent Deal

3 days ago | motortrend.com | Justin Banner

The 2025 Polestar 4 is a quick and quirky coupe-bodied luxury electric SUV. While somewhat compact, the 4 enjoys a super-long wheelbase and is still able to seat five, jumps out of the gate like a scalded dog, and comes with an uncommon feature: no rear glass. It’s a rather fun-to-drive all-electric SUV with an unusual, almost car-like shape—so how much will it cost?
A New EV for Less Than $8,000? In This Economy?!

3 days ago | motortrend.com | Christian Seabaugh

Established automakers seem to have all but abandoned the notion of cheap cars, but startups are seeking to fill the void. Here in the United States, Slate Auto has introduced a modular pickup truck that it plans to sell for around $27,000—an eye-popping price for a rational vehicle format, given America’s love of pickup trucks. Overseas, Citroën sells the Ami—Fiat's version is the Topolino—which technically is a quadricycle and thus super small and affordable.
What's Going on With Ram? CEO Promises Turnaround

4 days ago | motortrend.com | Alisa Priddle

You will be forgiven for thinking Ram is down and out these days. The brand killed the Hemi V-8 that was a highlight of its 1500 full-size pickups, stopped building the affordable (but old) Ram Classic, and had a difficult launch of the Hemi-less 2025 Ram 1500 that included problems getting trims with all the bells and whistles out the door while also trying to start producing new Heavy Duties at the same plant.
New, 8th-Gen Toyota Celica In Development, and It Might Get an Engine

1 week ago | motortrend.com | Alisa Priddle

The renderings of a revived Toyota Celica sprinkled across the internet don't have the coupe's look quite right, according to Toyota executives. But they're not denying that work continues on a new vehicle that would bring back the storied Celica name. If you're scratching your head, it's because you might not have been born when Toyota last offered a sporty two-door Celica coupe, which went out of production in 2006 at the end of the seventh-generation model's run (pictured at top).
Bestselling Cars in Each State

1 week ago | motortrend.com | Aaron Gold

You might be surprised what sells great in the lower 48 (and Alaska and Hawaii). We see a stream of ads touting the country’s bestselling vehicles, but what about the bestsellers in each state? Turns out that just nine vehicles accounted for the top 2024 sales numbers in the 50 states, and we were still genuinely surprised to see which vehicles sell best in which states. Go on, take a guess at what your fellow Americans prefer to drive, then scroll down and see what they really buy.
The 2026 Toyota RAV4 GR Sport PHEV Isn't the First Ultra-Sporty RAV4

1 week ago | motortrend.com | Alexander Stoklosa

The 2026 Toyota RAV4 lineup is wider than ever, with so-called "core" models forming the backbone of the bestselling compact SUV's family, and a new Woodland off-road trim joining an equally new GR Sport trim level on the fringes. While there are other "sport" themed RAV4s available, namely an XSE model, the zestiest of the bunch is that GR Sport.
Is Ram Bringing Back the Hemi-and the 1500 TRX? It Has Something "Big" Planned Soon

1 week ago | motortrend.com | Justin Westbrook

The iconic Hemi V-8 engine was controversially dropped from the Dodge and Ram lineups for the 2025 model year, abandoning the powerplant that established the Charger, Challenger, and Ram vehicles as kings of the road (and off-road with the Ram TRX truck that's also been retired). Or has it? A new leak alleges that plans are in place to bring back the Hemi V-8 to the regular Ram 1500 lineup, and it seems those plans include a brand-new TRX truck with even more power than before.
Antonio Filosa Named New CEO of Stellantis

1 week ago | motortrend.com | Alisa Priddle

Stellantis has ended months of suspense with confirmation that Antonio Filosa has been chosen as its new CEO. He will be tasked with leading the troubled automaker back to health and navigating a global economy fraught with tariffs and uncertainty. Filosa, 51, fills the gap at the top of the automaker after the resignation of Carlos Tavares last year. Filosa had been overseeing the all-important North American market, working to restore trust, morale, and profitability.
