Buy GMC Sierra EV Price, PPC or HP
There are now three Sierra EV models to choose from. The Elevation trim is the low-end version with the minimum capabilities in terms of power, range and towing capacity. This one starts at $62,000 with the standard battery pack, 18-inch wheels and no rear-wheel steering.
Lastly, the AT4 is the more rugged version with the coil suspension and size 18 wheels like the Elevation, but it has rear-wheel steering and larger battery options, plus trim-exclusive drive modes.
Which one should I get?
Boils down to what mood you're in. On one hand, the Denali is compelling as an all-rounder. With its large wheels, air suspension and luxury-leaning options, it's the most comfortable version. Sure the AT4 is slightly more hardcore, but while the Denali is less capable, it is still able to truck stuff. The AT4 on the other hand is built for a wider scope of use, and we'd trust the old-fashioned coil suspension over the air bags when it came to off-road use.
Alternatives? In this segment, the Rivian R1T is a compelling electric pickup, particularly the dual motor version that starts at about $78,000. Though fun and capable, the boutique nature of the brand means capability comes at a cost. How rugged you want to be comes down to how precious you regard it.
Ford's F-150 Lightning has a number of models to choose from and has the F-150 level of versatility millions of drivers swear by. It doesn't do cool things like 'crustacean strut' but it's useful in other ways. It's also priced competitively as well, with only its $85,000 Platinum model exceeding the Sierra's starting costs.

Toyota Launches Efficient 2025 Prius Lease Deal for August
By signing up I agree to the Terms of Use and acknowledge that I have read the Privacy Policy . You may unsubscribe from email communication at anytime. The Acura MDX is a feature-packed, three-row luxury SUV, and this August lease offer could put one in your driveway sooner than you'd expect. Genesis is no longer the quiet newcomer in luxury; the 2025 GV80 Coupe shows up with a faster roofline, more performance, and plenty of swagger. The Toyota Prius lease for August is wallet- and fuel-efficient Thrifty shoppers are lured to the Toyota Prius — now nearly 30 years old and in its fifth generation — for its extremely economical approach to driving. Toyota's August lease offers on the car capitalize on and emphasize its wallet-friendly ethos. In select markets, shoppers can pick up a 2025 Toyota Prius for just $239 per month. The lease runs 36 months and allocates 12,000 miles per year, with lessees responsible for $4,238 due at signing. This lease offer doesn't include taxes, fees, or other charges, so your payment might be a little bit higher. A similar deal — which seems to be localized to the greater NY area — offers the same terms with $3,999 due at signing and a $269 monthly payment. Previous Pause Next Unmute 0:00 / 0:10 Full screen Thinking about buying a Toyota RAV4? These 5 rivals might change your mind Watch More No down payment? No money down on a Prius? Sounds like the perfect angle to get behind the wheel while stockpiling your cash. By spreading the $4,238 due at signing — which is substantial for a lease — over the duration of the 36-month lease, we can get a rough estimate of what a Toyota Prius lease looks like while putting $0 down. It adds up to $118 extra on top of the $239 monthly payment, bringing the new total to $357 per month. This isn't an official $0 down quote, and for the latest Toyota Prius deals and incentives, we recommend visiting Toyota's website and punching in your ZIP code. Or, stop by your local Toyota dealership. Additional information about the Toyota Prius The 2025 Toyota Prius continues its reputation as one of the most fuel-efficient and eco-friendly vehicles on the market, combining distinctive styling with everyday practicality. And, more recently, a sportier design with just a tiny bit more edge than previous Priuses (Prii?). While there isn't anything particularly inspiring happening under the hood — its 2.0-liter four-pot makes just 194 horsepower and comes straight from the Corolla Cross hybrid — that isn't exactly the car's modus operandi. Besides, it's still much quicker than previous generations. Source: Toyota The standard Prius LE is EPA-estimated to achieve 57 mpg in the city and 56 mpg on the highway, and even AWD-equipped models keep those figures over 50. Advanced safety comes courtesy of Toyota Safety Sense, which includes adaptive cruise control, lane departure alert, and automatic emergency braking. A 60/40 split-folding rear seat, eight-inch display, and wireless phone integration add further value.

Final thoughts Leasing the 2025 Toyota Prius is a smart way to enjoy one of the most efficient and reliable hybrids on the road while keeping monthly costs predictable. Even without any money down, a sub-$400 per month lease is attractive in 2025. The Prius is practically a celebrity, and it's very obvious where the car's strengths lie. We have no doubt that you'll be very happy with the Prius as long as your expectations are in line with what the car does. *Disclaimer: This article is provided for informational purposes only.

4 Reasons I Chose All-Terrain Tires over Mud-Terrain
By signing up I agree to the Terms of Use and acknowledge that I have read the Privacy Policy . You may unsubscribe from email communication at anytime. Let me give you a hand When I took in my Uncle's 2006 Jeep Wrangler TJ two years ago, the first thing he told me was that it wouldn't need tires for a while, because he'd just replaced them. Since he bought it nearly 15 years ago, he'd lifted it by four inches and fitted it with 35-inch tires on 15-inch wheels, swearing by BFGoodrich KO2 All-Terrain (AT) tires. In his hometown of Moab, Utah, the KO2s had performed beautifully on the most challenging of trails–including Hell's Revenge and Fins n' Things–without breaking a sweat. Before selling it to me, he'd gone through two sets of them. 0:07 / 0:09 Walmart is selling an 'amazing' $47 tire inflator for $25, and shoppers say it's 'portable and efficient' Walmart is selling an 'amazing' $47 tire inflator for $25, and shoppers say it's 'portable and efficient' Watch More Source: Kristen Brown There was one major problem with his claim: looking at the manufacturer date, the KO2s on my Jeep were from 2011. They had plenty of tread left, but they were rock hard, and cracks were forming in between the tread blocks. Years of sitting in the desert sun (and age) had taken their toll. Even on their last legs, the KO2s kept the Jeep steady; it was still comfortable to ride in, and they handled themselves well off-road. But I knew the ol' girl was ready for a new pair of shoes. So, I found myself wondering: should I stick with the versatile KO2s, or should I switch to a more expensive and aggressive mud-terrain tire (MT), like the KM3s? The amount of information was borderline overwhelming, so if you're stuck between the two, here are 5 reasons I decided to stick with the KO2s. By providing your email address, you agree that it may be used pursuant to Arena Group's Privacy Policy. We may receive compensation. 1. The tread on all-terrain tires lasts much longer If you look at a typical MT next to an AT tire, the first thing you'll notice is the difference in tread patterns. All-terrain tires, like the KO2s, have smaller tread blocks that are closer together, whereas MT tires have large, flexible, and tall tread blocks that are widely spread apart. This is so the blocks can essentially fling mud away from the center of the tire, preventing mud from collecting and making the tire slick (hence the nickname 'mud slingers'). The tread is softer, too, so they can flex and bend when the tire is deflated, creating a larger footprint in deep mud. Source: BFGoodrich All of that means it's excellent in deep mud or even rock crawling; all of those features mean the tread won't last nearly as long. According to Tire Rack, AT tires usually last between 40,000 to 60,000 miles, while MT tires last between 20,000 and 40,000 miles (depending on a variety of factors, of course–these are just averages). If they're on a rig that's driven every day, or if you have to travel fairly far before you reach the trail, they can wear even faster.

Sign up or sign in with Google Facebook Microsoft Apple By signing up I agree to the Terms of Use and acknowledge that I have read the Privacy Policy . You may unsubscribe from email communication at anytime. It's the same logic as not using a dedicated winter tire all year. The tread is soft, and if you use them for everyday highway driving or during hot weather, the soft rubber will wear dramatically faster than an all-season or all-weather tire that utilizes a tougher rubber blend. All-terrain tires are designed for everyday driving, and while AT tires are a tad noisier than a touring all-season or all-weather tire, they're designed to be suitable for daily driving–and thus, have longer-lasting tread. This was attractive to me because I'm moving to an area where I'll have to drive three or more hours to go off-road, and it means I won't have to drop another $1,500 on tires as quickly. Plus, AT tires tend to earn better mileage. 2. Road noise is dramatically less with AT tires As I mentioned before, I'm moving to an area where I'll have to drive fairly far to enjoy an off-road trail. Because I enjoy my hearing, road noise was an important factor to me. A MT's large, flexible, and wide tread blocks are wonderful off-road, but that formula makes them incredibly loud on pavement–especially on the highway. Mud-terrain tires tend to 'hum' due to the spacing between the tread blocks, which, unless you have a beefed-up stereo and speaker system, can be enough to drive you crazy if you're like me and sensitive to excessive noise. The tread on MT tires has a higher tendency to cause a rig to wander or feel less stable on a paved surface, too, which can worsen the faster you drive. Source: Kristen Brown The tighter, smaller tread blocks on AT tires aren't as flexible or soft, making them quieter on pavement, at any speed, but especially at highway speeds. I noticed a huge difference in road noise once I swapped the KO2s from 2011 with a new set. Before I'm flayed, yes, I know they're so quiet because they're new, and the old set was so loud because the tread was worn and hard–and they'll get louder as they wear–but I was impressed by how quiet they were while my husband and I broke in the new set on our favorite forest service trail 3. All-terrain tires are better in snow and rain To date, there isn't an MT that's earned a 3PMSF rating. This isn't a big deal if you don't plan on hitting a trail during the snowy season or driving it anywhere in the winter, but I live in Central Oregon, which experiences snowy and icy winters. We both have Subarus that have a set of dedicated winter tires on separate sets of wheels for the winter, so I don't need snow-rated tires for the Jeep, but I like that they can handle snow just in case. Even if we're not driving on a trail that has some snow on it (since some trails still have patches of ice and snow even in May or June), I like knowing that if we had to move the Jeep or drive it in the event of an emergency, it would be able to handle it. My Uncle's done a lot of road trips through the Colorado Rockies in the Jeep before I bought it, and he's thanked the Driving Gods several times when a surprise snowstorm rolled through. Source: Kristen Brown It's not just snow, either. All-terrain tires are proven to perform better than MTs on wet surfaces, too. Since the mountains don't adhere to forecasts and the weather can change on a whim, I felt much more confident taking my Jeep on longer drives to more places, knowing the tires can handle rain and snow better than an MT tire. That's thanks to siping in the tread, which are thin slits and channels between the tread blocks to help enhance grip and promote water evacuation. Mud terrain tires, even though they're made to fling mud, don't tend to channel water as well. Instead, they can trap water on wet pavement, which heightens the risk of hydroplaning. Since I have two toddlers who love riding in the LJ to think about, wet performance was a big deal for me. 4. Off-road performance isn't that much worse Yes, it's generally accepted that MT tires are exceptional off-road, thanks to reinforced sidewalls and the large, flexible chunks of tread. When it comes to rock crawling, an aired-down MT tire is tough to beat–even for an AT tire as tough as the KO2 tire. The grip that comes from the softer tread enhances traction on rocks. All-terrains still perform exceptionally well for rock crawling, but they require a little more effort on the driver's part and are more susceptible to damage or slipping since the rubber is harder. I'm not planning on tackling the Jeep on the Rubicon anytime soon (at least not without some practice first), so I don't need a tire that aggressive when it comes to rock crawling, especially since Central Oregon doesn't have much rock crawling. Source: Kristen Brown Instead, Central Oregon has trails that often have dust, dirt, washed-out sections or trail, and uneven surfaces. Several trails warn against water crossing during the rainy season, with the occasional patch of snow that refuses to melt because it's hidden under the forest canopy. I've been on several trails with inclines and declines on rocky, gravely, or dusty surfaces–all conditions that warrant an AT tire over an MT tire. An MT tire, on the other hand, can handle those conditions, but it would be a waste of its capabilities. They're much more appropriate for trails in the Sierra Nevada mountains, which are laden with granite rocks and fallen trees. Final thoughts As I said in the beginning, both AT and MT tires are excellent choices for off-roading, but their strengths align with different styles of off-roading. If you're an aggressive rock crawler who doesn't mind road noise and has a truck to haul your rig to trails to combat faster tread wear, an MT tire would be an excellent choice. Especially if you don't plan on driving in snow or rain. If you're like me and enjoy a bit of rock crawling and overlanding, or have to travel further to trails and are sensitive to noise (and you're on a budget), an AT tire might be a better bet. It all depends on your budget, off-roading style, how often and how far you'll drive on them, and whether or not you'll deal with snow or rain. About the Author Kristen Brown View Profile

Toyota Drops Surprising 2025 Corolla Cross Hybrid Lease Deal in August
By signing up I agree to the Terms of Use and acknowledge that I have read the Privacy Policy . You may unsubscribe from email communication at anytime. The Acura MDX is a feature-packed, three-row luxury SUV, and this August lease offer could put one in your driveway sooner than you'd expect. Leasing Toyota's fuel-sipping subcompact SUV is inexpensive in August The hybrid version of Toyota's smallest SUV is a decent value proposition for those considering a lease. For August, Toyota is offering the subcompact SUV at $349 per month with only $2,999 due at signing. A 36-month term allows customers to travel 12,000 miles per year, for a total of 36,000 miles. While this estimate doesn't include local taxes or fees, it's also worth mentioning that some Toyota rebates or selecting a lower annual mileage limit could push this payment down even further. Additionally, this price is only offered in some markets, like the Southwest. Don't want to put any money down? Getting an estimate for a $0 down lease on a Toyota Corolla Cross Hybrid is fairly straightforward. We can spread out the $2,999 due at signing over the duration of 36 months, which brings your new payment to $432.30 per month. Note that your payment will be higher after accounting for local taxes and fees, and after adjustment for your actual car's MSRP. For the most up-to-date and accurate info, we always recommend checking Toyota's website, which always has the latest Toyota Corolla Cross Hybrid deals and incentives. For an official quote, talk to your local Toyota dealership. More about the Toyota Corolla Cross Hybrid The Toyota Corolla Cross Hybrid is the hybridized version of the small SUV that itself is based on Toyota's smallest car offering. It makes for a great option over the regular trim level, if for no other reason than standard all-wheel drive if you need it. Additionally, the Toyota Corolla Cross Hybrid makes a bit more horsepower — 196 ponies — that can make driving just a hair more fun than in the non-hybrid version. Standard features include wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, LED headlights, and a variety of driver assistance features like lane departure alert and radar cruise control. The EPA rates the Toyota Corolla Cross Hybrid at 42 mpg combined, outshining its non-hybrid counterpart by around 10 mpg. Finally, the subcompact offers a generous 44 cubic feet of cargo space, which is just slightly less than the all-gas version. Final thoughts The Toyota Corolla Cross Hybrid is tough to judge fairly. There's only one direct competitor — the Kia Niro Hybrid — and it exists in a weird gap between traditional hatchbacks and SUVs. Objectively good fuel economy and 'fine' styling mean it's worth checking out if you're looking for a hybridized but relatively low-key driving experience. This month's lease deal is attractive, and we think it's worth considering if you're only interested in short-term ownership.
