For mud or pavement

These 3 off-roaders aren't afraid of the odd boulder and can cut it on the highway

Tired of so-called sport utility vehicles that are nothing more than tall station wagons with faux aluminum plastic cladding posing as skid plates? Weary of blandly styled cute-utes that pretend to be all Swiss Army-like in their sales pitches: It's an SUV! It's a sports car! It's a minivan! Well, here are three in-yer-face, honest-to-gawd, four-by-four off-roaders that aren't afraid of getting their wellies wet or crawling over the occasional boulder. We'll also tell you what these truck-based mid-sized SUVs are like to drive in the environment on which most owners will travel -- the paved road:

 

FIRST PLACE: 2006 Nissan Xterra Off-road

 

 

SECOND PLACE: 2007 TOYOTA FJ CRUISER/PACKAGE B

 

THIRD PLACE: 2006 Hummer H3 1SA

That's pretty cool the X won, but that article was really limited in info.. was it mainly just an on-road review it seemed (Steering, comfort and highway acceleration

Everything I have ever read that was from Nissan stated that there is nothing the Xtera can do that the Pathfinder can not do.

 

They made it like that on purpose, it is just a fancier package.
