How many Florida VXers would like to make a showing HERE? (http://www.offroadworld.net/forums/topic.asp?id=54627) I'm definitely interested to see how the VX does on the ramp! Please post if you think you'd like to go and we'll see about a breakfast rendezvous so we can convoy in.

Sounds cool... count me as interested and a possible attendee. Can't guarantee it just yet.

The articulation ramp stuff is a bit like reading Greek to me, but the following excerpt of a review from fourwheeler.com would interest you:

"One may assume slow-speed, low-range four-wheeling could suffer due to the firm suspension, but that wasn't so. The 'Cross ramped a best-of-the-bunch 561, which is a record for an IFS-equipped 4x4."

Meaning the VX, even a pure stock one (as tested in the review), still did better than any other stock production vehicle with an independent front suspension tested to date (2000 review) on the ramp. Impressive.
