Toyota and Lexus have overhauled much of their body-on-frame SUV portfolio recently, and the third-generation Lexus GX was one of the most-anticipated new SUVs of the year. It’s currently comes only in GX550 form with a twin-turbo 3.4-liter V-6, and it shares its platform with the new Land Cruiser.

The VW Bus is back, and while it’s recognizable on the outside, the electric underpinnings may surprise some of those familiar with the rear-engined Microbuses of the past. The retro ID.Buzz charmed its way onto our 10Best Trucks and SUVs list this year thanks to its stylish interior, impressive driving experience, and practical nature. Starting at just over $60,000, the ID.Buzz offers both rear-wheel-drive single-motor and all-wheel-drive dual-motor versions.

Totally redesigned Toyota 4Runners don’t come around very often, so it makes sense that the new 2025 model garnered a lot of interest online. It’s related to the latest Tacoma pickup, and the latest 4Runner mid-size SUV amps up its off-road offerings while also adding a hybrid powertrain. Pricing is out now, and it starts at $42,220 but goes up to over $68,000 for the loaded hybrid models.

You’ve probably seen one on the road by now, but it’s still hard to believe that the Cybertruck is real. Tesla’s first pickup truck is a polarizing beast to say the least, but you can’t argue with its performance: it reached 60 mph in 2.6 seconds in our testing, a remarkable result for something weighing nearly 7000 pounds. It starts at $82,235, but lower-priced models are supposedly coming next year.
