All-New Trucks and SUVs for 2014-'15

There will be dozens of new trucks, vans, SUVs and crossovers hitting dealers this year, but some won't look or sound familiar at all. That's because many of them have all-new names that either haven't been sold here before, or have been out of production for so long that you forgot about them.

Sure, there will be redesigns of current vehicles, like the Chrysler 200 and Ford F-150, but those are names you know and vehicles that already exist on dealer lots today. The cars discussed below are all-new from top to bottom: new styling, new features and new names that might not ring a bell with you yet.
