They should move this truck's interior into the sister-vehicle Colorado/Canyon.

If you like it OK.

But going from a G8 to a G8 GXP would be a big upgrade IMO.

I really see no use in high 4x4's unless you are using it for that

reason. OFF-Road, Desert racing, etc.

I hope you stay happy with it.

I have this same basic post by someone on another board that I frequent.

I just don't understand the logic.

4x4 isn't logical? But a Low riding, Crampy (rear seated) Camaro makes good sense?

I am honestly not offended. I just don't understand the practicality argument, or the "what is it good for" argument?

Geeze guys it is a Vehicle that doubles as a toy.

You can drive your Camaro to work, and get around town fine (in good weather)
I can do the same- and drive in much worse conditions if need be.

You can have play time with the Camaro-- It is built for raw power, speed, and high trap speeds. you take it to the track. Cool.

This truck has great front entry and rear exit angles, and great ground clearance, and a good 4x4 system set on a decent factory suspension. I can drive through 24 inches of water for fun or in the very low chance I would "need" to. So you go to the track, I go to the trail.

Your fun is getting that time slip and seeing what you run. My fun will be following a group of Trucks/ SUVs on a trail and overcoming obstacles and situations that most vehicles can't do.

I am soo not being that guy... You know--- My truck/car is soo awesome. I am simply trying to point out that these vehicles have alot of things in common in a strange sort of way.

Oh, I really love those, best hummer out there IMHO. ANd yes, isn't trail riding a blast? I have put my little Patriot through it's paces and it has really surprised me with it's capabilities, especially being an FD1 without the trail rated stuff. I am getting antsy for something with a low range and more ground clearance though LOL.
