Best & worst cars review, best off-road

Interesting also is that, of the top 12, 6 of them are Toyotas; including Land Cruiser at #2 and Tacoma at #3. :rocker:

Here's the full list of the 12...

1. Toyota FJ Cruiser
2. Toyota Land Cruiser
3. Toyota Tacoma TRD
4. Land Rover LR4
5. Jeep Wrangler Unlimited
6. Land Rover Range Rover Sport
7. Toyota Sequoia Limited
8. Nissan Frontier LE
9. Lexus GX460
10. Toyota 4Runner SR5
11. Chevrolet Silverado 1500
12. Dodge Ram 1500

yota holds 6 of the top 10 spots. Nice:rockin:

how in the hell is the lexus and sequoia higher than the 4runner? :P interesting results, if you ask me.

I am wondering the same thing, ? and a Jeep rubicon is not listed.

Yeah, a Sequoia is better than a 4Runner off road and the Nissan Xterra OFf Road edition doesn't make the list.

What a bunch of tools.

My guess is the Rubicon is considered in a whole different category. They mentioned "SUVs and 4WD pick up trucks".

I'm interested to see what dodge's new "raptor killer" truck will rate. Anyone seen that in off road mag?

Wonder where this fits in, Portal axles and all.http://i561.photobucket.com/albums/s...apv-web630.jpg

I'm pretty sure they just googled "4 wheel drive" and had some layman read about the vehicles and whichever sounded most impressive was selected. What the hell is the Range Rover Sport doing up there- it has huge wheels clad in low-profile tires... wtf. The Toyota Sequoia has been neutered by IRS and low ground clearance yet is still rated better than the live rear axle, locker-equipped 2010 4Runner.

The Lexus GX and 4Runner are the same vehicles, and considering the 4Runner just got a redesign and is now better offroad than its predecessor, why does it rank lower than its identical twin? The gas IFS Ram 1500 was chosen over the diesel and solid front axle 3500 (lets face it, if weight mattered in these tests, half the trucks listed wouldn't be there. The Jeep Rubicon isn't there and pretty obviously should be in the top 2 at least- lockers, solid axles, reasonably stout drivetrain etc. The Mercedes Galandelwagen (G-wagon) definitely should be in there as well as the Ford Raptor and the Nissan Xterra.

What useless writing.
