"Better than Jeeps"

[Gussie2000]

I stronghly believe that both the wrangler and the vehicross just shares some similarities therefor i wouldn't compare them side to side

As off roading concerns the wrangler were built for hardcore rockcrawling performance and that's why is the 1rst choice for offroading fans.

Isuzu didn't wanted the Vehicross to be just another SUV that can do offroading,but virtually been unstoppable over any terrain at high speeds.

Many people asked me with what purpose the VX were builted for and that is the answer i give them, i can be wrong but can't see a better purpose for the VX then that.

We forget the VX wasn't built as a 4x4! It was more rally...Paris to Dakar,
but! it still does great in classic 4x4 terrain!!

That's a very good point, Scott. People are always trying to compare the VX to Jeeps and other 4x4s when it was clearly not made for the exact same purpose.

stock VX compared to a stock Wrangler:

I've always thought the VX was much better @ being "dual-sport". In other words...I think neither dominates the other off-road and the Wrangler gets oodles of aftermarket support which we lack big-time....but; when comparing on-road performance (stock vehicles)....I think the VX blows the Wrangler away in on-road performance.

Personally....my VX has dealt major defeats to overly aggressive jeep drivers during daily on-road driving adventures. I never start anything but I love coming out on top...lol. Just ask the last H3 Alpha owner that ended up being my biotch! After losing his attempt @ passing me he rode my tail in a feeble attempt to intimidate...lol.

There is a casino I pass by every day going home from work. I'm almost always in the proper lane unless that lane is lead by a garbage truck or semi truck which are tediously slow. That is the only time I get in the improper lane to get around a slow garbage truck as I'll have to follow it for like 11 miles if I don't. When I'm in the proper lane first @ the red light; it never fails that someone pulls up in the improper lane and plans on passing me and pulling into my lane ahead of me. Funny, they don't ever get that aggressive when I'm in my Mustang GT as they wait for me to pull ahead then crossover and tuck in behind. But, it's like they assume the VX won't beat them & they are almost always wrong! It's like a 1/8 mile drag race with a sharp left turn thrown in for good measure. No Jeeps have ever slayed my VX. I've really only lost a few and those were when my VX was ailing and needed new intake gaskets & stuff. I just have to watch that I don't get a ticket!

I recall two years ago i went with my brpther-in-law to binghamton,upstate NY to visit some friends of him in my horse.

Once on our way back to NYC on the I-78 i decided to push the horse to the limit (115 mph ) just for couple of minutes.

The I-78 runs accross the delaware river before crossing the border into PA;At that giving point there's no locations for state troopers to wait & get you for speeding.

Along with me there was two guys & a girl in a honda accord V6 most of the journey back to NYC.

I drove no less then 75mph whilst maneuvering @ few curves with close angles along the interstate and once we got close to the toll the guy on the accord broke his window down and asked me :

Dude did you modified your suspension ? I told him no,why ?

He said never saw a SUV moving so fas thru the curves back there,man those curves are quite tight for a SUV though,i am impressed by the way you drove it because ''that'' ( referring to the VX ) has a high ground clearance.For a minute i feared you could ended up rolling over


My brother-in-law to the guy :

This is just not any SUV,is the vehicross
