I found my new truck!!

BAM!!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-QSlt...layer_embedded

I need a new truck because this winters madness has been driving me crazy. This wouldnt be a DD but a weekend ride and a machine to go up the mountains.
Definitely something different for my city & most of all I can't get enough of it!!

Your thoughts?

Not a bad looking little truck, reminds me of the H3.

I can only settle for a 2012. The previous model years have that useless 3.8L 202hp engine & they bumped the power to 285hp. It still wouldnt go fast but I want it for its purpose, Off Roading!

Nice looking jeep, also like the MW3 edition.

However, if I was looking for a new truck. I would look no further than this...

^^That is nice indeed but I'm not so much of a pick up truck guy & how are these pick ups in really disastrous weather conditions. I want a true off roader for when I want to hit the sloaps. I remember driving up to Gstaad in my X3 and that thing was absolutely useless and tbh at some times I was scared lol.
I imagine a wrangler is relatively cheap to maintain & to upgrade, thats another appealing factor that really makes me consider...

If you really want to handle business off road, this is the answer.

How are they in the snow?

Mud?

Rocks?

Off-road?

on-road?

Air?


Here is a video on a track.

When you said "I found my new truck". I was think of a Ford F150 or something. The jeep is nice to.

A few years ago in NY i had a trailblazer as a rental I really liked it. The SS version looks mean. We dont have those SUVs in Europe.

I love my trailblazer (it's a lt, the basic one) but nonetheless, it's a monster in the snow and it tows like a champ. I towed those new rav4s the bigger ones + the 1000+ pound trailer for apprx 200 miles and it was beastly.

I can't imagine room for parking or even driving in Europe for mid sized SUVs like the trailblazer.
