bad co says that ff power is not the sharpest knife in the drawr. because mud is mud and a very few suv's can get them selves out of mud maybe the landy's and the g wagen's.

Ooh look what I found a landy twoing out a lx

Most of these "world-class" SUV's are riding on 20 + inch rims and street performance tires, it's plain idiotic to take them off-roading.

The Touareg, needs All Terrain tires with less air pressure, don't know how world class of an SUV that is, but here in the US they sell them as AWD vehicles that drive on blacktop, the Touareg is an SUV but not an offroad vehicle

The X5, what a hard and expensive lesson to learn and all you need is to drop the air pressure to like 8-10psi

mmmm no, Nissan, Mitsubishi, Mercedes Benz and Land rover do a pretty bang up job too.

How does a "world class" suv get stuck in that kind of situation presented in the first video? Seriously?

And wrt to the X5... what level of idiocy did it take to get it into that situation?

It doesn't matter what you drive, especially in the cases of trucks like the lx, x5, and range rover, its almost always the driver. I got my moms lx470 stuck and couldnt get it to budge in mud while out in the country this weekend, my dad's friend gets it in and moves it with no problem at all, i will admit it though, that **** fun haha

It almost ALWAYS come down to the drivers when it comes to off roading. Here is a fellow CL member, 1LOUDLX, doing his thing a little while ago before he did a full off road conversion. At the time of this video, he was still on stock tires and suspension.
