Wow... Thanks for making my rig feel all the more inadequate. New shoes.

Dear Jeep,

If you decide to build this badass cab-over unimog style build, I will buy one. $11k apiece portal axles and all...

AWD vs 4X4

People all worried their truck isn't truck enough. Must be rough.

there is this thing called snow.

it often is an obstacle, here, at high elevation.

i have never driven or owned an AWD automobile, but Audi and Subaru are the most popular

cars in SLC. everybody else drives a 4x4 truck.

on the traction thing, my honey drives an awd car with studded tires, and it's like a little tank. on icy or snow packed roads i feel safer in that than in the truck. but when there's slush or drifting snow the heavier vehicle with bigger tires is steadier. i know guys who have studded tires on their trucks too, but sooo expensive.

7,000 vs. 4,000, tard. You can't even see as high as I be.

I was more bragging that I never have to worry if my rig is truck enough. Unless I'm going uphill or towing. Then it is decidedly SLUG.

which is precisely why the car is so great.

perfect city car for anybody that has to haul outsize things.

gets great gas mileage, turns on a dime, fits in small parking spaces....

and for us - a perfect delivery van for our business.

advertising wrap coming next....

4x4 won out over AWD:

Nice. I've really liked the newer Fords I've driven lately. Go get it dirty.
