Jeep has announced a new version of the Gladiator pickup that is exclusive to Texas. The truck is called the Jeep Gladiator Texas Trail, and it’s based on the Gladiator Sport S trim.

Electric vehicle startup Canoo has unveiled the third vehicle that it plans to build on its multi-purpose platform architecture.

Perhaps there has not been a better name for a rugged, strong, off-road package ever than “Tremor.”  The brand is part of Ford’s new brainchild to create an off-road package to rival Toyota’s TRD. Ford is adding Tremor packages to the F-150 and already has it on the Super Duty line.

The 2021 Ram 1500 TRX is an off-road truck packing a 6.2-liter V8 Hellcat engine that makes 702 horsepower and 650 pound-foot of torque. The V8 is fitted with an 8-speed automatic transmission and features permanent four-wheel drive.
