Hmm Lets hear your opinions:(SUV content)

I read an article recently in a car magazine (forget which one) that named the Trailblazer SS as a top ten best buy for under 20k. The only drawback that was called out was the cheapish interior materials.

However, between the two, personally I would take the SRT8, because it's got more style points in my book.

If I was choosing an SUV for a reliable daily driver, I would get a lexus lx450 or a late fj80 landcruiser

Once again, YES. But I'm bias. ;)

OR, the new Outback... It's badass, and HUGE. Haha

HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAH

You have to be fucking kidding me. Off road does not mean a gravel loggin road, it means mud rocks and slippery grass and no defined road. I would love to take one to work with me. It would be broke or stuck and still be with in 100yrds of the pavement with tires like that on it. LOL While I have not even put my rig in 4x4 yet.

I had KDW's on mine and it did amazing off road.

With tires like that I dont think so. I dont think I have seen a factory stock rover built in many years that can get out on wet grass thanks to the rubber band they call tires they put on them. Not so hot in the snow either,

The jeep and the ss have a little side wall too them and in those sizes you can get a slight off All season tire that will work. Not well but some what.

They are not that bad and it can still go off road.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

WAY MORE time in the shop getting fixed not to mention way more cash to buy and way more money to fix each time it has to go in. Did I mention they are in the shop more than they are on the road??? . there is a reason for that old saying ..............................I would rather be caught pushing a rover than driving a jeep. Which ought to say something since Chrysler products in are not know to be all that reliable.

I would get this, way more classy

3/4ton Suburban with a big block 496cid big block in it. Thats a SUV


or if you must have something smaller get a tahoe or yukon. If your gonna get a V8 suv get a fucking full size, those little mid sized just leave you in limbo for capabilities for the drive line you have and the smaller power plants dont do much better on fuel than the v8's so if your gonna go v8 get the full size.

Cliffs GET A FUCKING FULL SIZE
