“diesel”

Jeep has just released the all-new 2018 Wrangler lineup with a comforting connection to the past and a practical emphasis on extreme performance.

Ram calls its 2017 4WD Crew Cab Power Wagon “the most capable off-road pickup” on the market. While you may think this is hyperbole, it’s not.

Kawasaki introduced its Mule off-highway-vehicle (OHV) in 1988, and has refined the unit ever since. In 2005, the company introduced the six-occupant Mule 3010 Trans 4x4, and that vehicle won American Hunter’s Golden Bullseye Award for Vehicle of the Year. Last year Kawasaki added more torque to its workhorse, and released a Mule Pro powered by an all-new 993cc diesel engine that delivers consistent high-value torque along its performance curve, along with improved utility and enhanced functionality.

Since Ram was the first truck maker to debut a diesel engine in a half-ton pickup truck, Chevy went one better and put a diesel engine in a midsize pickup.

Sportsmobile of California has converted vans and built off-highway/backcountry vehicles since 1961. Its four-wheel drive, high-clearance vehicles span a broad spectrum of demands for utility and functionality from basic—“get into the backcountry and hunt”—to luxurious—“get into the backcountry, hunt and enjoy a full range of residential comforts.”

You’ve probably heard the old saying “strike while the branding iron is hot.” Well Ram is doing just that as it experiences one of its best sales years for its pickups.

Can you cope amid disaster that breeds panic and perhaps dangerous situations? Most hunters possess the tools, gear, skills and intelligence to do so. Call us crazy, but we’ll be ready when our neighbors are not.

The Chevrolet Colorado is a mid-size pickup that originally was outfitted with an inline five-cylinder gasoline engine, a power plant that didn’t garner many fans. The 2015 4WD model, on sale now nationwide, is refitted with a 3.6L DOHC V-6 gasoline engine mated to a six-speed automatic transmission.
