Dan Edmunds

I'm a mechanical engineer who is passionate about sharing what I've learned about cars and trucks. I worked for two automakers over a period of 16 years, and I spent a lot of my time off racing sport compact cars. I parlayed both of those into a career in automotive journalism for Edmunds.com (no relation, I swear!) Writing vehicle reviews helped me hone my ability to get my point across to anyone, and it also made me feel more comfortable in front of a camera. My specialty was always suspension testing and development, and so I'm especially curious about what manufacturers are doing in the hidden places we can't see but are oh so important. Trucks and off-road vehicles were my specialty when I worked at the Toyota Arizona Proving Ground, but I'm interested in all types of vehicles. You'll also catch me doing range tests of electric vehicles, trailer tow testing of trucks and SUV, and even the odd do-it-yourself explainer that can help you tackle maintenance and suspension upgrades.
