Tough and reliable? Yes. Capable? Not so much. Hopefully the new ones are better

Really neat vehicle, and I'm sure they can be a ton of fun, particularly in AMG trim. Personally I'd be really hesitant to take one through the Florida swamps. Down here, "ugly" is an advantage, because if it isn't ugly when you start the trip, it will be when you finish.

Yeah I think most here will be underwhelmed when they take the G out on a REAL offroad trail.

Truck is way overbuilt, thick and heavy frame, smallish interior. Jeep Rubicons either LWB or SWB run circle around it on the trails.

Safety, Situational Awareness and proficiency.
