Real off roading occurs at about 1200rpms, in 1st gear, and in low range 4WD.

Real power comes from spinning all 4 tires with a locked center and rear diff trying to get that stupid boat out.

A real truck looks good when it is muddy.

My top 10 list of PRETENDER trucks- all posh, no ruggedness. You take one of these off road, and make sure you take a friend with a 4Runner and a winch. Or prepare to have your heart broken when you scratch a running board...lol...MY NAVIGATOR'S ELECTRIC RUNNING BOARD! NOOOO!

1) Nissan XTerra - pretends to be cool, but fools no one
2) Lincoln Navigator - Electric running boards? Go through a river...ZAP
3) BMW X5 - 30 series tires? Sub 10 minute Nuburgring time? SUV Rice
4) Porsche Cayenne - HAHAHAHA, i'm gonna OFF ROAD my $200,000 SUV
5) Subaru Baja and Forester - You have ground clearance...that's about it...
6) Honda CR-V/Pilot/MDX - Suspension components too low.
7) Toyota Highlander/RX300 - A Sienna with 4WD...and a Sienna's a CAMRY
8) Suzuki Vitara/X90 - Dime sized tires.
9) Buick Rendevous/Pontiac Aztek - Don't even try to think about it.
10) Mecedes ML - Posh with big tires...and it's LOW...

Top 10 list of real deal SUV's

1) Toyota 4Runner...of course
2) GMC Suburban/Yukon XL - American power and size
3) Ford Excusrion/Expedition V10 - American power and size
4) Hummer H1 - Can climb Civics
5) Dodge Durango V8 - Fat tires, big engine.
6) Mercedes G500 - A proper luxury SUV
7) Land Rover Defender/DiscoII/Range - They do nothing but SUV's.
8) Jeep Grand Cherokee V8 - I wouldn't, but the suspension is amazing.
9) Mitsubishi Pajero - Strong silent type.
10) Ford Explorer - The original APV.
