Garages & Gearheads in Carrollton runs the first Saturday of the month, so that's this weekend. When I went, it was 96 on the lot early and I got 15 minutes in Revology's supercharged Boss 429 with a Tremec 6-speed. Light, tight and easy to live with.

We put Dave Boldt in the new @KiaAmerica Telluride X-Pro SX Prestige. Bigger, 274 hp and 311 lb-ft, with quick climate controls for 100-degree days. He doesn't love the blank black front end, and says bring a spotter if you go real off-road. $57K sticker.

The Scrambler SRT is a desert weapon disguised as a truck. #Jeep #ScramblerSRT #MotorTrend

At Truck Rodeo the 2027 @GenesisUSA GV60 Magma stayed on pavement, where it belongs. About 600 hp, 641 on Boost, 3.4 to 60, and the regen when you lift hits as hard as the launch. $72,995 as tested, 222 miles EPA. Catch: you can't buy one in Texas yet.

We put Dave Boldt in the redesigned @KiaAmerica Seltos X-Line SX AWD, four hours each way to the Poconos. 190 hp 1.6 turbo, 28 cubes with the seats up, and the dash showed 30 mpg at 70 to 80. His catch? $37,205 as tested puts you in a Sportage Hybrid.

We put Dave Boldt in the Kia Carnival Hybrid for a family convoy from Santa Clarita up Highway 1 to Monterey. Four adults, all their stuff and a borrowed cooler. His verdict: for a family and its stuff, they couldn't have done better.

We put Dave Boldt in the @McLarenAuto Artura Spider. 690 hp from a twin-turbo V6 and a 94 hp motor, and it still sneaks out of the neighborhood on electric at 6:30 a.m. He did a grocery run, beer in the footwell. His advice: get one while you can.

$99,350 for a family SUV. That's what the 2026 @Ford Expedition MAX King Ranch I tested stickered at.
Huge space, real luxury, 13.2 mpg in my week. Would you pay it for a big Texas family, or buy a used one and pocket the difference?

My first Expedition King Ranch was a 2015 at about $57,000. The 2026 @Ford Expedition MAX King Ranch I had this week came in at $99,350. Still a great family hauler with real MAX space, but I averaged 13.2 mpg. Big families feel that sticker most.

We put Bill Owney in the @MazdaUSA CX-30 Turbo on the Ouachita back roads. Crisp steering, torque-vectoring AWD and a cabin that feels entry-luxury. But he saw 24 mpg while hybrids hit 40. A joy for a day in the mountains, harder math over a decade.

We put Bill Owney in the @Hyundai Ioniq 5 XRT for a run into the Ouachita Mountains. After 85 miles of backroad it still showed 202 miles of range at the trailhead, and he got home with 79 left. Finally an EV that makes that trip without range panic.

Is a $99K family SUV worth it?
We drove the 2026 Ford Expedition MAX King Ranch to find out what a Texas family actually gets for that money.

Is a $99K family SUV worth it?
We spent a week in the 2026 Ford Expedition MAX King Ranch to see what a Texas family actually gets for that kind of money.

The 2026 @KiaAmerica Sportage Hybrid SX-Prestige is quiet, composed and easy to live with. I saw 38.7 mpg in mixed driving with the A/C running, ahead of the EPA's 35. Full-size spare under the floor. $41,985 as tested.

The 2026 @Jeep Wrangler Moab 392 is pure ridiculous fun. HEMI roar, factory Warn winch, Nappa leather, power top. But it's $86,320 and 13 mpg combined, with a bouncy ride on 635. I'd still pick the 4xe for my own driveway.

We put Bill Owney in the @MazdaUSA CX-90 PHEV. Plugged into a 120-volt garage outlet, it showed 35.4 mpg on his trip in a 5,200-lb three-row. But left in Ready mode overnight, both batteries died. His take: brilliant concept, unfinished software.
