For more than two years and more than 200 articles here on BestCarAudio, the editorial team and I have worked hard to educate our readers about the products and services available to optimize, accessorize and upgrade their cars, trucks, SUVs, boats and motorcycles. In a recent discussion in an industry-only Facebook group, someone mentioned that the way some people behave in Read more
It’s hard to believe how far pickup trucks have come. The RAM Rebel is a mid-level vehicle, and yet on the inside it comes with keyless ignition, a 7-inch touchscreen, a dampened tailgate, an eight-way power driver’s seat and a rear power-sliding window.

The Lincoln Navigator was wildly popular when the nameplate first hit the streets back in 1997. Then the product got a little long in the tooth, with no major upgrades in the past 10 years. But when the new version debuted at the New York Auto Show, the crowd reaction was spectacular. We could only hope that the SUV we saw at the show was going to be brought to the street in a Read more
If you are like most people, you may think that your local car stereo shop specializes in custom audio systems, speaker replacements and, if they have marketed themselves well, remote car starter installations. The reality is, many mobile enhancement retailers offer a variety of automotive enhancement services that extend well beyond audio system sales and service. Let’s have a Read more
No doubt about it, the popularity of the Jeep Wrangler has made off-roading an American mainstay. However, it is not the only option for hardcore off-roaders.
