I bet you’d fit fine in any large sedan.  Source: I’m over 6' tall.  

These are totally different things. Can’t they both have the name since no one will be confused between a charity and a car? Like the quattro razor, and the quattro Audi.

How did the writers find that much detail on such an obscure car before the internet?  Did one of them grow up in Bulgaria? 

True those things are not needed.  However, not having those will lead to poor reviews from Consumer Reports and the like, which will cause a drop in sales.  Even Doug Demuro rags on cars that don’t have enough standard safety tech.  

I don’t know why Porsche didn’t use a bigger battery for more range. They must have really messed up their EPA projections. I can’t imagine they thought 201 miles would be an acceptable number.

Some of those cars on your list are hybrids not EV’s. Very misleading to say the Volt has a range of 38 miles, and not mention it also has a gas engine that allows it to travel way further.

I actually think this package makes sense. The regular version of the Tahoe has become so street oriented I’d be afraid to take it on anything other than a gravel road. Low hanging air dams, and poor angles. It seems if you intend to do any sort of trail, you need the Z71.

The cladding is actually useful, if you brush up against a rock, it’s lot easier to fix than painted body work.  

Too bad this will be so rare and expensive. I would be more excited if this was a $250k car that might someday depreciate to under $100k.  Maybe Chevy should build a V12 stick shift Corvette.  

True, we don’t know the weight of the cybertruck, but a F150 weighs 4,000-5,500 lb. Also, tires are weird. If the only thing going on for friction force was weight and coefficient of friction, dragsters wouldn’t need those huge tires! Contact area isn’t in the equation...yet it matters.  

I have a Jeep and a Porsche, so I normally drive on either mudders or high performance summer tires. However, I know the plain jane Goodyears on my Dad’s Yukon grip much better than the mudders on my Jeep. Also, don’t forget tires are weird. If the only thing going on for friction force was weight and coefficient of…

The Tesla video doesn’t make sense to me. Traction from the tires is going to be very important. The Tesla seems to have some variation of Wrangler MTR’s. I’ve had MTR’s on my Jeeps, and I can say the traction on pavement is barely acceptable (as is true with every mud terrain tire I’ve ever driven). I would think any…

Sounds like you’ve never driven a manual Jeep off road. Wranglers are geared low enough you don’t even need to use the clutch to start. A stock Wrangler can be butted up to a 1' ledge with the engine off. You can have your feet flat on the floor, simply turn the key, and the gearing will drive the Jeep up the ledge…

No, do something original, no more reboots! 

Interesting comparison, probably pretty accurate. If I had the extra money, I’d like to buy a YJ Sahara and do the Jurassic Park livery. Apparently I’ve been #overlanding my whole life since I take my Wrangler on camping trips.

Using that logic, GM should increase pay during a recession, because they’re planning for the good times ahead when the recession ends!

Here’s the problem -

There are 2 ferries across Lake Michigan.  The Lake Express and the Badger.  

I know people (myself included) who have considered the 4C, but the lack of a manual is a total deal breaker.  

Great article David. After reading it, I’m struggling to picture a trail that a Discovery cannot do, but a Defender can. (Other than water forging).
