I don't think the anti-pepper crowd has overlooked that point. It's just that they would rather have seen the drool/babble-inducing P vehicles in the first instance.

Hmm.. Here is "show" Picture I took of my Jeep Cherokee a couple years back...

Note that the right front tire is 32" off the level ground and the other tires are still in contact. Ok really only 2 since the 3rd is just an inch or so up in the air.
Using this sort of flex is nothing unusual for a real 4x4.

No it is not broken..
No it is not stock.
Yes that IS a license plate..
Here is a link to a write up on the truck if you are interested..<a href="http://www.4wdandsportutility.com/features/03024wd_crok/" target="_blank">C-Rok</a>

What is the likelihood that in a situation like this you would need traction on all four wheels? Seems to me two on opposite corners should suffice?
Doesn't the "off-road package" allow the roll-bars to be disconnected. No picture has been released of this in use.

Well with open differentials like sold on 99% of new trucks the opposite wheel will spin and you go nowhere....
Now with locking diffs it is not so bad, but you still have less traction.

Probably nothing. Wheels in the air when four wheeling is no big deal.

That photo really proves that the suspension is too tight and has very little travel. That photo shows me that the pepper isnt a real 4x4 like a Range Rover. I wish someone had a RR and did the same thing. You'd see how much more suspension travel the RR has. Guys, that photo somes shows some serious 4x4ing weakness.</strong><hr></blockquote>
Have you seen the suspension flex on the new Range Rovers? It doesn't flex that much more than the Cayenne, and definitely not as much as the pre-BMW RRs. The new suspension on the RR is a big mistake IMHO.

An H1 (or an H2 for that matter) has IFS and IRS. It will not flex any more than the Cayenne.

H2 does not have IRS, it is based off the Chevy Tahoe / GMC Yukon platform (IFS, solid axle out back).......making it the sorriest excuse to blow 60 grand when you can have a plusher, more comfortable and better looking car for $20,000 less. H1s have independant suspension all the way around.

You're right. My bad. H1 is fully independant, H2 has IFS only. It's still quite lame.
