Build, Price and Option

New post is up on BuildPriceOption: 1999 Mitsubishi Eclipse Trim Levels and Standard Features Explained

I built this one out as a full 1999 Eclipse hub, not just a basic article. It covers the final-year second-generation Eclipse lineup:

RS Coupe GS Coupe GS Spyder GS-T Coupe GS-T Spyder GSX Coupe

The guide breaks down the engines, horsepower, drivetrain, original MSRP, standard features, paint colors, and which trim makes the most sense today.

I also added related guides on value, reliability, common problems, FWD vs AWD, GSX vs GS-T, and how long these cars last.

2026 Toyota 4Runner Trim Levels Explained

I just posted a detailed breakdown of the 2026 Toyota 4Runner trim levels on BuildPriceOption.com.

This article covers the full lineup, including the SR5, TRD Sport, TRD Sport Premium, TRD Off-Road, TRD Off-Road Premium, Limited, Platinum, Trailhunter, and TRD Pro.

The 2026 4Runner lineup is interesting because it is not just a simple base-to-luxury setup. Toyota gives you a value-focused SR5, street-focused TRD Sport models, trail-ready TRD Off-Road models, Premium trims with better comfort and tech, luxury-focused Limited and Platinum trims, the overlanding-ready Trailhunter, and the full TRD Pro at the top.

I also cover the i-FORCE turbo engine, i-FORCE MAX hybrid, towing, fuel economy, interior tech, safety features, cargo space, and which 2026 4Runner trim makes the most sense.

Ford Models Explained: SUVs, Trucks, Vans, Hybrids, EVs & Performance Models

I just posted a new video breaking down the current Ford model lineup in plain English.

This is not a trim-level deep dive. It is a simple overview of the major Ford models, including Ford SUVs, trucks, vans, hybrids, electric vehicles, and performance models.

In the video, I cover the Mustang, Escape, Bronco Sport, Bronco, Explorer, Mustang Mach-E, Expedition, Maverick, Ranger, F-150, Super Duty, F-150 Lightning, Transit, E-Transit, Explorer ST, Bronco Raptor, F-150 Raptor, Ranger Raptor, and Mustang GTD.

Just dropped a new video on the Chevrolet Performance 454 HO crate engine.

I kept this one focused and practical: specs, forged internals, what’s included, what’s not included, and how the 454 HO compares to the ZZ454/440.

New video is up: 1999 Mitsubishi Eclipse Trim Levels Explained

This one breaks down the final-year second-gen Eclipse lineup:

RS GS GS Spyder GS-T GS-T Spyder GSX

I cover the engines, horsepower, drivetrains, MSRP, key standard features, paint colors, and which trim I’d actually want.

The GSX is the legend, but the GS-T might be the smarter buy.

New video — 2026 Honda Pilot trim-by-trim breakdown

All seven trims covered: Sport, EX-L, TrailSport, Touring, Touring Blackout, Elite, and Black Edition. Standard features and pricing for each, so you can see where the real value jumps happen instead of guessing your way through a configurator.

A few highlights:

Sport is more loaded than a typical base trim

EX-L AWD adds Sand and Trail drive modes

TrailSport has actual off-road hardware, not just badges

Elite is where it starts feeling near-luxury

Black Edition is the flagship style play

Spent the last couple weeks going through all 114 pages of the original 1992 Chevrolet Camaro Order Guide — the actual document GM sent to dealers — just to get the trim-level breakdown right for this video.

A few things that came out of it:

The standard '92 Z28 had rear drum brakes. 10.5" fronts. Only the 1LE package got you 4-wheel disc with 11.86" vented fronts. 50% more braking surface. Half the articles online don't mention this.

The aluminum driveshaft everybody credits to the 1LE package actually came from ordering G92 without A/C. 1LE required that combo, so you got the whole bundle, but technically only the brakes and a fog lamp delete are tied to RPO 1LE in the official document. Everything else rode in on prerequisites.

705 total 1LE cars built for '92. 589 of those were police-package B4C cars that got the 1LE brake hardware. Civilian Z28 1LE count is much smaller than the number you usually see thrown around.

The Z28 Convertible — 1,254 units. Rarest '92 Camaro by a significant margin. Last third-gen V8 convertible.

Two of the four new-for-'92 colors (Polo Green II Metallic and Dark Green-Gray Metallic) were RS-only. Couldn't get them on a Z28 in either body style.

Today’s real-world RV fix:

The Onan 4000 Microlite in my 1996 Fleetwood Flair would not start, but I still needed to charge my laptop and keep editing.

The solution ended up being a Jupiter 750 watt inverter hooked directly to the house batteries.

I filmed the whole process because I want to start documenting what it’s really like living with and working out of an older Class A motorhome.

What's your favorite Ferrari 296 GTB paint color?

Just dropped a full walkthrough of every paint color available on the standard Ferrari 296 GTB. Standard, Additional, Historical, Classic, and Special — broken down section by section so you can actually see what your options look like.

22 colors. $343K starting. 819 horsepower. One plug-in hybrid V6 berlinetta.

If you're building one or just want to see what Ferrari offers on the 296 GTB, this is the video.

the 2017 volkswagen #pinkbeetle is the first car in history to be officially named as its own hashtag.

fresh fuchsia metallic. first factory pink in the beetle's entire history. vw auctioned the very first us example for breast cancer research — winning bid was $30,272.

and volkswagen never officially confirmed how many were made. the "3,000 units" number everyone cites? not in a single vw press release. just "limited quantities."

Pricing runs from $0 for the two non-metallic options up to $3,600 for the BMW Individual Frozen matte finishes. A few colors also require build changes on the configurator.

Toyota went all-in on the 6th generation redesign — 226 hp (FWD), 236 hp (AWD), 44 MPG combined, a completely new interior with a 12.9-inch touchscreen, and a first-ever GR SPORT with 324 hp and a plug-in hybrid powertrain.

Rear-engine. Rear-wheel drive. Twin-turbo flat-six. 388 horsepower. This is the entry point to the 911 lineup and it has never been more capable as a base model.

Full video breakdown covering everything from the engine upgrades to the brake overhaul to the complete options list and what it actually costs to build one properly.

Four engines. 13,300 lbs of towing. Massive crew cab. Solid tech. But the ride quality and interior materials still trail the F-150 and Ram. I broke down everything that matters in one video so you don't have to dig through twenty spec sheets.

Before you buy a 970-generation Panamera, you need to see this. We’re diving deep into the 2012 model year to separate the bargains from the money pits.

Everything you need to know about specs, RPO codes, and common failure points is live now.
