The jeep is really the only SUV that I would ever drive. The wrangler still has the basic design that it had 60 years ago, and still has the no frills, let it get rained on interior, extreme off road capibilitys, and in the past years has only been changed for the better. They have not soften the car like Ford did with the Explorer. That concept car proves that they are still about that. Look at those tires, the non bling bling rims, and winch. The thing looks like it is still 100% capable of going off roading. Other SUV's like Rav four, Element, CRV, Mistsu montero, ford escape and almost every other SUV on the planet would do about as good as my sol would on a trail. Even the Hummer has gone soft with the h2. It is a surburban with a boxey exterior. Hummer says that it has about 60% the capibilitys that the h1 had.
