Wonder if Toyota will put the V8 in it later on?

I need one of those. They look awesome. I'd keep it right along side a Jeep. :)

I was wondering the same thing. I hope they do.

And how did i know you were gonna compare it to an american vehicle jonathan? LOL. I would like a power wagon, but a real power wagon. Like from the 50's. :happy055: Now thats a real truck.

Scouts weren't American, though

They were Canadian, eh?

Tough as hell, though.

You can't hardly find a great off-road vehicle anymore. You can get good ones, or at least halfway acceptable ones, but that's about it. After the Jeep CJ was the dropped in favor of the chick-friendly Wrangler, that was the last of the true off-roaders.

Good off-road vehicle=lots of unhappy people at the NHTSA.

My Dad's LX 470 handles pretty nice off road and he is crazy enough to take it there, lol. At nearly $70,000 I wouldn't take that thing anywhere, but he took it on trails in Colorado over boulders and through water, he passed up an Explorer and a Wrangler that couldn't make it up Tin Cup pass, crazy!!

I really like it. I just thought about trading my 96 Grand Cherokee(Love It) on one, but it has about the same gas mileage and a lower towing capacity by 1500 lbs.

However, that will certainly be my next car if Dodge fails to remake the Challenger.
