Car and Driver

Anybody see the Feb 08 Car and Driver? There's an acticle on small SUV's. They were using a GL 320 as a camera car and got it stuck. Then the Jeep Liberty they sent to get it out got stuck. The article is here:

There was a pic of the stuck GL and Liberty in the magazine but I can't find it on their website. It looks to me like the Jeep didn't make it as far. This is ironic because I watched a Liberty the other day having more trouble getting up a muddy rise than I had in my GL without ORP (see page 15 of picture thread). He had to back up and get a running start. I think my much wider tires had a lot to do with it.

I have that article. The GL was used to lug around the camera equipment. It apparently got stuck so they sent the Liberty in which also got stuck. From the pictures it looked like the all the trucks wore stock tires/wheels. I was just upset that they got a perfectly nice clean GL all muddy
