Especially since the brand launched a racetrack-ready Ioniq 5 N earlier this year. I put quotes around "off road" not to pick on Hyundai but to acknowledge that most of these off-road trims aren't mean to be used for boulder-bashing on the Rubicon. No, these are meant to get you to the campsite over the kinds of two-track paths that don't really require four-wheel drive low or locking diffs but do require a tad more ground clearance and some all-terrain rubber.

2025 Hyundai Ioniq 5 Adds XRT Off-Road Trim

Using more than a few items from the Infiniti QX80 toolbox, Nissan has rolled out a fresh Armada complete with turbo V6 power and a new PRO-4X trim. Under the hood is a 3.5-liter twin-turbo V6 with a rated 425 horsepower and 516 lb-ft of torque. Both of those figures outstrip the old 5.6L V8 engine, particularly the twist which is over a hundred lb-ft more than last year. A nine-speed automatic is paired with the mill; American customers can select rear-wheel drive variants but other markets, such as Canada, are 4x4 only. Towing prowess tops out at 8,500 pounds and, showing it’s serious, some trims can be equipped with a trailer brake controller.

I am going to bet that most of you do not. I do not, that's for sure. I can handle ads in certain situations -- I don't mind seeing ads on my TV or streaming services, in exchange for paying less for cable/streaming. I don't mind seeing ads on Web sites -- I know that's how sites make money (obviously, that applies to TTAC). I can even live with ads on sports-team jerseys, if they're small and subtle.

(MA) Meet Teddy Twilight, an adorable little Shih Tzu mix pup who got dealt an unfortunate hand in life. This pup, along with his brother Enzo, were previously owned pups who were reportedly "very loved".

Luckily, Great Dog Rescue New England was there to help, and now both pups, who are not a bonded pair, are living safely with foster families. Now, Teddy is ready to find his TRUE family that can actually give him the love and attention he so rightfully deserves.

When I studied Anthropology in college, I learned that teeth have been indicators of economic status just about forever. Archaeologists look at the teeth in ancient skeletons and know who the rich were based on their tooth decay. During the Renaissance period, it became fashionable for women to blacken their teeth to look like they were better off than they were, because the royals and aristocrats, who could afford sugar and sweets, had more rotten and missing teeth than the poor.
