Midsize trucks are once again well in vogue, and in the past few years across our various MotorTrend media platforms, we’ve seen an uptick in interest when it comes to off-road trucks and off-roading in general. The latter got us thinking about how to better incorporate pickup trucks like this into our Performance Vehicle of the Year program, so we devised a hybrid road/off-road course to aid our evaluations at Chuckwalla Raceway. The idea was to provide a more appropriate venue to highlight their abilities as their makers intended—not every performance vehicle has to be a racetrack-oriented sports car—and the judges arrived at the track eager to give the 2024 Ford Ranger Raptor a proper go.

Long the apple of Consumer Reports‘ proverbial eye, the Ford Edge continues to earn accolades from that particular organization with each passing month. It may have been discontinued recently, but the Edge remains a solid option for anyone in the market for a mid-size crossover, regardless, and there are still some new models sitting on dealer lots as well – at least, for now. Now, the 2024 Ford Edge has been singled out by Consumer Reports as a great option in its segment once again, too.

If you are looking to buy a new-for-you vehicle in 2024 but don't want to buy a new car, then used cars from automakers that have renowned reliability records, such as Honda, Lexus, and Toyota are generally a good place to start looking. In a world of rising prices, both on and off the road, keeping costs down is paramount for most of us. With the average price of a new vehicle in the U.S.A. costing around $47,000, looking at a used car, or one that is a few years old but is still equipped with modern technology, a lower asking price than a new car, plenty of space, and a frugal powertrain is a good option for a lot of us.
