Beehive3783 Turbocharged March 1, 2013 Share March 1, 2013 You go for a Land Rover, Range Rover, Suzuki Vitara or Toyota Landcruiser if you're into serious offroading. Not a BMW or some other sissy half baked SUVs that are actually meant for ponding use, not proper off roading. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I'm not wrong, x6 doesn't have a diff lock, you will be forever stuck if you go offroad... Even the Sportage diesel version have one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steptronic Supercharged March 1, 2013 Share March 1, 2013 [/size]This car is equipped with Steptronic control. You canuse the gear shifter for "manual" gear change without clutch on thefoot. In addition you have paddle shifters doing the same. I guess that Mycarforum does not have an option for "semi-manual" and Car owner could bea car enthusiastic to call it manual rather than "Auto" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xefera 6th Gear March 1, 2013 Share March 1, 2013 think SUV are just meant to look sporty - that's why call sports utility vehicle whether can go off road is just pure coincidence or expectations from some people. those with proper off road capabilities are still known as 4x4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

For proper offroading, I only believe in the established brands. Toyota, Land Rover, Suzuki and maybe Audi as well if their Q series are equipped with Quattro.

The Fortuner runs on the Hilux chassis, so if the similarities include the running gear, shouldn't be a problem off road. Yeah, the ones modded by the scandinavian guys? Very nice. But too bad can't register as private car here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
