The refreshed 2025 Ford Explorer debuted back in early February bearing a number of changes including slight exterior styling tweaks, along with a host of interior revisions and the addition of the brand new Ford Digital Experience software. However, along with a pared-down trim level lineup that saw the deletion of the King Ranch trim, the 2025 Ford Explorer was also curiously missing any sort of hybrid powertrain option. Now, we know why that’s the case.

More dangerous substances are entering the Denver drug supply, Harm Reduction Action Center warned in a newsletter this week. “The Iron Law of Prohibition posits that as law enforcement becomes more intense, the potency of prohibited substances increases,” HRAC Executive Director Lisa Raville wrote in the newsletter. That is exactly what is happening, she said.

The OG luxobarge body-on-frame SUV enters its fifth generation with the new 2025 Lincoln Navigator. These days the Cadillac Escalade outsells the Navigator by more than two to one, so some of us need reminding that Lincoln was first to woo pop culture and other “influencers” with these jumbotrons back in 1998. Many buyers upgraded their stock 16- or 17-inch wheels to 20-inch “dubs” back in the day. Well, with the march of time, dub-deuces are now standard (and said to ride the best), with FoMoCo-first 24s optional (sorry, no spinners, but each one weighs an incredible 95 pounds!). Might this mostly new model—on its sick factory rims—claw back some sales from Caddy’s ’Slade?

This year’s area of low oxygen in the Gulf of Mexico is larger than average, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) announced on Thursday. The “dead zone” is approximately 6,705 square miles , as measured last week. Within NOAA’s 38 years of measuring the dead zone, this year’s assessment marks the 12th-largest area of low to no oxygen, which can kill fish and marine life.

Actor Buddy Ebsen, who died at age 95 in 2003, found fame by starring in two of the most popular classic television shows in history: The Beverly Hillbillies (CBS, 1962 to 1971) and Barnaby Jones (CBS, 1973 to 1980). On the Hillbillies, he played former Tennessee country mountain-folk-turned-wealthy Beverly Hills resident Jed Clampett. On Barnaby Jones, he was one of TV's most senior, slyest, health-conscious detectives. Ebsen, however, almost became even more famous for a certain big-screen classic film in which he ultimately did not appear.

It has been almost 15 years since General Motors made the decision to shutdown Pontiac. In 2009 the company was facing a monumental bankruptcy and needed to make severe operational cuts across the board in order to shore up finances. Consequently the effort to salvage the company through restructuring came at the expense of one of the most legendary and innovative brands in American automotive history. Yet a quick glance at Pontiac's work in more recent decades shows that the brand's demise may have already been written on the wall well before GM had to slash its way through a financial catastrophe.
