In 1989, Land Rover made history with The Great Divide Expedition, letting a bunch of lucky journalists from Commonwealth countries drive Range Rovers through Colorado, crossing a the Continental Divide in a roughly 1,000 mile journey.

Everybody knows Land Rover for their , but back in 1989, conservationist and Camel Trophy driver Tom Collins came up with a North American adventure.

Fantastic races can disappear for many reasons including politics, unsolvable safety issues,…

12 days, 1,128 miles of mostly unpaved (or worse) roads and classic Range Rovers crawling through the Rockies from the Wyoming border to northern New Mexico.

The best news? . That's very nice to see since times have changed and nowadays, it's pretty much all about building that can win the Horsepower Wars. Seeing Range Rovers get dirty again restores some of my faith in humanity.

In honor of heritage and marketing or whatever, Land Rover has completely recreated one of the…

Just grow a mustache if you enter. If the car is from 1989, you must be too.

Japan's 2016 Toyota Land Cruiser Is What Our Lexus LX Should Be
Lexus has manifested their desire to be “more edgy” way too literally and turned the LX into the spawn of Predator and a blender. Remember when they just made Camrys with nice interiors? That’s kind of the vibe on the JDM 2016 Toyota Land Cruiser facelift and it looks great....
