Connor Ashford
Connor Ashford is an automotive writer who focuses on trucks, performance vehicles, and the practical side of buying and owning a car. He writes buyer-focused pieces on topics like negotiating a fair price, comparing resale value across brands, finding affordable insurance, and avoiding the small mistakes that quietly wear a vehicle down over time. Connor also covers the higher end of the market, from luxury sedans and cars poised to climb in value to the hybrids and family SUVs that are reshaping what a practical daily driver looks like, and he keeps an eye on upcoming releases so readers know what's worth waiting for. Whether he's breaking down a pickup truck comparison or explaining what never to say at a dealership, his goal is to give readers the kind of straightforward advice he'd want before signing anything. Outside of writing, Connor is rarely far from his own truck, whether he's loading it up for a weekend camping trip or spending an afternoon tuning its stereo system just the way he likes it. He's an avid angler and tries to get out to the lake most weekends during the warmer months, swapping stories with friends over a tailgate grill afterward. Fall Sundays are reserved for football, and he's the kind of person who'll happily talk trucks, fishing spots, or game predictions with anyone who brings it up.
