If you’ve ever tried to capture a rolling shot of a Mazda CX-5, you know that the “fishbowl” effect of factory glass can ruin the aesthetic. Beyond photography, the heat buildup in that spacious cabin is a real issue for daily drivers. After years of evaluating optical clarity in high-end lenses, I’ve applied those same…
The RAM 1500 Rebel is already a beast off the factory floor, but if you’re looking to fit 35-inch tires or tackle more aggressive trails, the standard height often falls just short.

Owning a Mercedes-Benz GLS is as much about the sensory experience as it is about the drive. However, many owners find the factory-standard “Freeside Mood” eventually loses its novelty, or they struggle to find a replacement that matches the GLS’s expansive cabin volume. After testing dozens of OEM and aftermarket options in my own GLS,…
