Jeep owners usually laugh when i tell them what I drive. And I laugh when I have to help them on the trail. ☺ a lot of swearing and red faces for them is the norm.  |

Check a Suzuki Jinmy while at it, the modern version of the Samurai but for some reason it looks smaller to me.

You ever sat in a Jeep Wrangler? Edward What about the Suzuki sidekick Yep, even worse! We have big pickups, and big SUVs like the GM Suburban, Ford Expedition & Excursion, Nissan Armada and the POS Escalade (which is just a more expensive version of the Suburban) but for the most part, SUVs here are top out in size around the Montero/Montero Sport. There are very few of the old full size Blazers, Broncos, Jeep Wagoners and such still on the road here. So, in the US the Montero and Montero Sport are pretty 'big' vehicles.  You'd be surprised how much gear you can pack into a Sport. If I'm doing a lot of camping in UT, I routinely pack close around 1000 lbs of gear and passengers in mine. Floor to ceiling, and to the front seat on the passenger side with the back folded down. I have custom leaf springs in the rear to handle the weight and the torque from the crazy low gearing I run.

My cousin had a 92' Wrangler and it was crap! Me I didn't like how the suspension was on it. Stiff as hell. And I think the motor mounts were bad as well. And you had to hold the 4wd linkage when it was in 4hi. The biggest down fall was it was originally from Virginia so it was a salty Rusty. He eventually traded it in for a Ford F150 which was a really nice truck. He definitely upgraded from that jeep. Heck my 2wd Xterra was much more roomy and much better as far as performance wise with the suspension. I can even say the same for other SUVs
