Disagree. Sort of. Took the rental mini van off roading leaving the Vegas off rodeo. Made a wrong turn and ended up at the Raptor party palace. Mini van did some of those roads pretty good. No rock crawling was attempted.Not sure what you have experienced, but I am betting if you followed it, a Land cruiser, a blazer, a Tacoma, or any other similar vehicle, down a dirt road or forest trail, you would be posting with the question “Why do they drive so FAST?”
They were designed and built for off-road use while being able to drive on public roads. This means they are a bit clumsy on road. But the same thing that makes your car better on-road, makes it a clumsy toddler off-road.
for vehicles like the Bronco, jeep, Land cruiser, K5 Blazer and others, speed is not the name of the game. It’s low end torque and axle articulation. That same articulation requires more diligence in on road driving.
Even the new models with IFS, while more nimble on road than their forefathers, still have a higher center of gravity. This requires the operator to be more aware of their speed as they can not (should not) risk a roll-over in case sudden correction is needed.
Why is it that rentals always seem to offroad really well?Disagree. Sort of. Took the rental mini van off roading leaving the Vegas off rodeo. Made a wrong turn and ended up at the Raptor party palace. Mini van did some of those roads pretty good. No rock crawling was attempted.
