I'm sure we have different ideas of off roading in mind when we suggest these vehicles as "supreme" machines. That Nissan is probably great for safari or something.

My idea of off roading involves trailering a rig to a dedicated trail area, wheeling it until it breaks, and trailering it home. Do a google image search for Hannibal Rocks to get a idea what I'm talking about. In trails full of extreme obstacles like that, there is literally no other new vehicle which can come close to the off road performance of a new Jeep Rubicon. The short wheelbase, almost zero front or rear overhang and lockers front and rear put it head and shoulders above anything else. On the flip side, those same features make it a shitty road vehicle and that's why I wouldn't trade a new 4Runner for a whole parking lot of Rubicons!

we probably do have differing views on offroading, lol@safari.

My idea of off roading involves driving out to the bush, hitting up mud, sand, rocks, descents, climbs, water crossings, pulling fallen trees out of the way, snatching out bogged rigs, getting bogged and for the rig to be tough enough to soak it all up and then be able to get you back home too;-)

I am biased, but for my money theres nothing I'd rather drive anywhere than a GQ.

If you're talking modified, it tilts even more heavily in favour of the Nissan.

I'd take a defender, a 70 series landcruiser or a Hilux surf over a jeep.

White347LX Member Since: 1/1/01 Posts: 49339	I like the old Landcruisers, but they are kinda big to fit through some of the tighter trails. Toyota trucks have a great drivetrain and make superior off roaders once you cut most of the body away and bob the bed. The Defender looks like a early Bronco but I don't think it has the drivetrain to match. You have ignored this user.

Anti JR - What about the Porsche Cayenne S Transsyberia?

http://youtu.be/0gRsQBqxlig

$71,775+

"The Transsyberia has stats that make it sound more like a Range Rover than a German sport vehicle: maximum ground clearance of nearly 11 inches, towing capacity of 7,716 lbs., the ability to ford a 21-in.-deep stream, etc. Yet it retains the speed and handling of a Porsche.

What sets the Transsyberia apart is its combination of a powerful engine and off-roading gear at (for Porsche) a reasonable price. The Transsyberia is powered by the same direct-injected engine found in the sporty Cayenne GTS, a 4.8-liter, 405 horsepower V8, coupled with a six-speed Tiptronic automatic. Off-roading enhancements include an air suspension system that raises and lowers the chassis, front and rear stainless-steel skid plates to protect the undercarriage, and a modified version of Porsche's Permanent all-wheel-drive system that directs 62% of the engine's power to the back wheels for better traction in difficult driving conditions. In addition, there's a $2,640 option package that includes reinforced rock rails, extra protection for the engine, gasoline tank, and rear axle, and a variable and lockable rear differential."

No.

When I told my european rally snob friends that Robby Gordon had a chance to win the rally, they laughed at me until I pointed them to his wikipedia entry. They were pretty grim after that and were no longer talking after he won a couple of stages. You have ignored this user.

LittleJoeMama 39 Member Since: 1/1/01 Posts: 8481	Yep, out of the box it's hard to beat a Jeep for off road ability. I ended up getting a Tacoma because it's good enough and a better dailey driver than a jeep. Great resale value as well. You have ignored this user.
