(January 26, 2024) WASHINGTON, D.C. — After making a brief weekend trip to $3.07, the national average for gas edged higher by one penny since last week to $3.10.

If rugged off-roading is high on your list of "must haves" the Trailhawk is more than worthy of your strong consideration, but so is its same sized competitor the Ford Bronco Sport. However, most competitors in its class are excellent and better choices for on-pavement ride quality, comfort and modern features and design elements.
