It hurts.

If you are going to call my list shit and then put Range Rover at the top and not put the 4Runner on there please leave.

>Range Rover at the top
See >in no particular order

The 4Runner is overrated. No one gave a shit about any of the Toyota trucks/SUVs outside the Land Cruiser until the Toyota/Apple fanboyism culture started in the last 10-15 years. While it is horribly overrated, it's still pretty good, which is why it made honorable mention.

Why couldn't "crossovers" be like this instead?

1.) 1st generation Geo Tracker and other Suzuki Clones

There's not a reason for anything else.

If you got rid of the chrome and the gangster rapper wheels and tyres that would actually look pretty decent.

>TFW you didn't buy the J100 cuz they pussied out and went with IFS, but 20 years later you've only had to do standard maintenance on your 80

Feels legendary tbqchwyf

> The Tracker was different from most other light SUVs on the market in that it is based on a rugged light-truck chassis and certified as a Light truck. Although it appeared to be a comfortable passenger SUV, it was bolstered by a sturdy off-road 4-wheel-drive system with a conventional light truck engine and transmission coupled to a hi-lo, 2-4 transfer case.

Hmmph. We got them in the UK as Suzuki Vitaras and I always thought they were shitbox lite-SUVs with fairly poor off-road ability, in the style of the RAV4. I always used to see them in poorer neighbourhoods, often with a fatboy bodykit and street tyres.

I had a 94 tracker as teenager. They are garbage stock, the oil pan sits to low and smashes on everything.

If you add a few hockey pucks and 30 inch tires they go anywhere.

Your green text over exaggerated their likeness to a truck highly. Their engines, although robust, aren't used in trucks except until recently where the G16 is being used in the Suzuki APV. Their transmissions, again although robust, are used in SUVs.

They have good off-road capability, but off course putting broad road tires on them, lowering them and turning them into "fat boys" won't help them in anyway.

>Oil pan sits too low

I think you mean that the diff and cross member are totally in the way. Pic related. That is the tail end of the pan and the majority of it is above the diff.

The downside is that the drop the pan, it is quicker and more feasable to drop the diff

Because that's what they are.

Your autism just won't let you see them for what they are, a 4 seater with the meme engine favored stats of their respective ages (wagons = more powah. crossovers = more MPGs) some cargo room in the back and light off-roading ability (you won't be hiking mountans, but a dirt road will be perfectly comfy)

They were always unreliable. The only reason people back them back then is cause nobody made anything remotely similar that was good. Then Toyota came along.... and we know how that went. Now they're grocery getters for rich housewives. You have to be dumb to offroad in a modern range rover.
