Somewhere around here I have a mag article - I forgot what one did this
- where they took a whole slew of 4x4s out to death valley and ran them
in the desert. They tested a F350 dually, the Caddie Escilade, Nissan
trucks, a Durango I think and several others. Was the best damned thing
I;ve seen in a offroad mag in years. If I can find it I'll bring it
with to Daktoberfest.
