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.

Though it's been little more than a year since Ford ended production of the Fiesta, it still boggles my mind that higher-ups thought it was a good idea. The Fiesta's death was yet another slap in the face for people who still want cars. In 2022, the Mondeo went the way of the dodo, and in 2019, the Ka city car perished. And the sales numbers don't lie—the decision to focus on crossovers isn't paying off.

Chances are if you're at all familiar with cars, you've heard of the Toyota Motor Company. It has been around since the 1930s, delivering cars, trucks, and SUVs of varying quality and price to drivers. Toyota has grown to become a global juggernaut as well, manufacturing its vehicles in multiple different countries. While there are some used Toyota models you should steer clear of at all costs, there are also loads of new and used ones worth buying.

The Kia EV9 isn’t the cheapest electric car out there. It doesn’t have the longest driving range and its electric motors don’t deliver the time-warp acceleration you get in many EVs. It’s not the first three-row electric SUV to launch in the U.S., either, as the Tesla Model X and Rivian R1S exist. Yet, the EV9 is already winning people over. Early ownership reviews from Youtubers, Redditors and members of online forums are overwhelmingly positive.

Most SUVs are also meant to tow stuff, haul things, and traverse off-road paths with ease. Many families across the U.S. purchase SUVs every day for their practicality and ability to carry their families and cargo to the shopping mall, airport, and sometimes even a camping spot. However, it's not every day that anyone cares how quick an SUV is. By "quick," we mean the vehicle's ability to get up to 60 mph from a standstill in a short amount of time.
