awd v6 (j35) that should be swapped in a hatch.
-
Subaru is too big of a pussy to throw an AUDI into the challenge.

And that's the difference between an actual off road car and cars pretending to be off road cars.

I noticed that Explorer was a sport model with the 22" wheels, which I know come with more on road performance oriented tires. Did the Explorer stop because of loss of traction or did it not have enough power? I would think the cheaper non-sport models with more off road oriented tires would perform better.

@typhoon5000 I agree, there is a way to equip the Explorer better. It was must have had open diffs, because it ended up spinning a single wheel in the sand (just like my old '94 impreza used to do when it was stuck in the snow). Anyhow know the AWD system used in the Explorer? I tried to look up tech docs on it and didn't have any luck. (Mfgs need to be better about disclosing this info on their press sites.)

@drivingsports I looked a little harder and found that the Explorer uses the an 8.8" open rear diff with either 3.55 or 3.73 gears :(

@typhoon5000 Well, that certainly 'splains that.
