We're headed to the 2016 Overland Expo in Flagstaff, Ariz., to examine and drive the 2015 Ram Rebel half-ton, and we can't wait. We're taking a brand-new 2015 Chevrolet Silverado Z71 off-roader to the event to see how it measures up next to Ram's most capable half-ton four-wheeler. Not sure how much back-to-back time we'll have with the two pickups, but it should give us a good baseline for comparing the newest pickup in Ram's…

Four-wheel drive (4WD) and all-wheel drive (AWD) are similar, but not identical. One is found on trucks and SUVs and is designed for challenging off-road conditions, while the other gives sedan owners some added peace of mind. Here, we explain the differences between the two systems.
All-wheel-drive systems work in many different ways. They differ from four-wheel-drive systems in that they don't have a transfer case that typically provides low-range gearing. They all can work full time (though many have an axle disconnect feature to preserve fuel), while 4WD systems may or may...
Imagine hitting the track in a mid-engine, rear-wheel drive sports coupe that's affordable and has pretty good parts availability. It might sound like a pipe dream, but it's actually quite possible, if you're willing to think a little outside the box. The Pontiac Fiero is out there just waiting for a little work to turn it into a competent racing machine.
