I know they are probably of dubious 4 x 4 ability,
and probably not very friendly in "internal" board carrying capacity.

BUT, these are a delight to view on the street

Too much bling.

If I had to buy a fancy 4x4:

Have done for decades. I still remember seeing one ploughing through a swamp on the Murray River about 20 years ago.

I'll never be able to take a 4x4 with low profile tyres and a front air dam seriously.

Definitely a delight to see on the road, I piss myself laughing everytime I see one.

Got to give it to Dodge, letting the design freaks loose rather than cloning everything else probably saved the company

Just to clarify ....
I did say that they would probably be dubious as 4x4's
and I have no intention of buying one

I just think they look cool.


Of course, beauty is in the eye of the beholder...
...which is while is smile widely every time I see myself in the mirror

Can you name the truck with four wheel drive,
Smells like a steak, and seats thirty five?
Canyonero! Canyonero!

Well, it goes real slow with the hammer down
It's the country-fried truck endorsed by a clown
Canyonero! Canyonero!

Hey, hey!
Twelve yards long, two lanes wide,
Sixty five tons of American pride!
Canyonero! Canyonero!

Top of the line in utility sports,
Unexplained fires are a matter for the courts!
Canyonero! Canyonero!

She blinds everybody with her super high beams
She's a squirrel-squashin', deer-smackin' drivin' machine
Canyonero! Canyonero! Canyonero!

Whoa, Canyonero! Whoa!

I think they look cool too, needs to be dumped about 6 inches though. If you just look at it as a different shaped car and not as a 4WD it's pretty sexy.

Na, raise it by 6 inches and it will look pimped. Curves on a 4wd just isn’t right... It looks very metropolitan, probably marketed for that. Get a couple of café late swirling design gurus involved and anything will sell mass market…which is coincidently aimed at size 8 soccer mums on their second marriage to either Dr's , lawyers or psychologists.


I wish was a doctor.

I think squidsie is on the right track.
these aren't meant to be 4x4s, just all wheel drive street wagons, like ford territories.

If you put a normal front spoiler, A/T or similar larger than stock tyres I cant see why it could not go at least where a Subaru Wagon like the old Brumy can go on the sand and bush, these look to have greater ground clearance than a Subiroo, how ever I agree with Grumps re more towards city folk wannabee 4x4 drivers, not that there is anything wrong with that and yes they do look verrry BLINGY indeed

Dame Ednah might be wearing a pair of these one day
