As Ford Authority has covered extensively over the past several months, the 2025 Ford Maverick is set to undergo a mid-cycle refresh following its debut for the 2022 model year, one that will usher in a series of notable changes for the popular compact pickup. Thus far, we’ve gotten a good look at most of those changes – including some slight exterior styling revisions and interior updates – but perhaps the most interesting is the one we’re once again looking at here.

A U.S. passport unlocks your travel dreams. With one, you can enter and exit foreign countries as you please — whether on a ski trip to the Swiss Alps or a summer getaway to Mexico. But the application process can take weeks or months, and when you need urgent service, you could be in a bind. Without an office nearby, you could get lost in a sea of online forms and call trees.

American consumers got their first taste of the Ford EcoSport in 2018, and it immediately received praise and criticism. On the one hand, the EcoSport's sub-$20,000 base price, roomy cargo space, and available all-wheel drive made it somewhat of a bargain in the small crossover segment. However, its lackluster base...

When Cinco de Mayo rolls around, many of us grab a sixer of Corona Extra (or an American craft beer take on the style) and some limes and pair it with a taco or three. But with all the other beer choices, Mexican-style lagers can seem to get lost in the shuffle the rest of the year. Why that is, we don’t know. All we do know is that the summer is the perfect season to stock up on Mexican-style lagers again.

Are you ready for the full intensity of the summer ahead? We can already predict that this summer will be hotter than usual, but that also means that it will likely feel longer. As a result, there are going to be more evenings and, later, great autumn days to be outside and spend time with our families. At least, that’s what we hope. Taking advantage of 4th of July grill deals, then, will be an excellent way to celebrate. Whether you’re looking for traditional grills and smokers, charcoal grills, or even gas grills, there are great deals to take advantage of right now. The following are our favorite for this season.

Owning and riding a Vespa is all about standing out. It’s the very essence of the Italian icon, and what sets it apart from the sea of utilitarian scooters. And so, it’s easy to see why Vespa has become as popular as it has, as its scooters are clearly a cut above the rest—their styling, and not to mention their price tag, are a testament to this.

The 4th of July marks America’s Independence. For adults, who haven’t been firmly out of school for several weeks by the approach of the holiday, it also marks a sort of in-your-face realization that summer is truly and actually here. And for manufacturers and retailers, it marks one of the best times to attract customers to buy things for the outdoors. That could mean the best Blackstone cooker, a different 4th of July grill deal, or even an outdoor Jackery solar power generator. Yet it could also be the time to finally get one of the best cordless drills and start your wireless, battery-powered power tool collection off to a good start. Whatever your plans this summer, you should know that Home Depot is having a pretty massive sale to celebrate. Here are the home and garden deals that you should be on the lookout for to get your summer moving.
