might be a good thread topic, since it is said to be the #2 cause of getting stranded, stuck, etc. (after tire damage as #1)

Compare the following with a typical 4x4 pickup:

1999 Ford Exploder - mine only had 6.7" of clearance

VW Vanagon Syncro - 8.3" (vs. a regular 2wd Vanagon's 7.4")

my '92 Toyota 4Runner had 9.1"

and the new Jeep Grand Cherokee has 10.7"

my 2010 Subaru Forester has 8.7" which is pretty good compared to many SUVs above (and more than the Syncro)


- just to keep it simple gnd. clearance only; no ramp breakover angles, etc.
