before i bought the track, i actually looked at an escape. no lo range t-case and it's unibody :(.  bds suspension is the only company i found that has a lift (and they recommend 30's) for it, and i found one concept vehicle done by fabtech that was really cool. ...but you're right: tons of them on the road and not much aftermarket stuff.

Eeeeewwwwwww...'turds..... ::)


Last I knew the GV's all had the same V6 as the XL7 had and they were only predicting high teens in gas mileage.

Don't hold your breath folks.  Looks like you also have to order one of the higher end packages to get the priveledge of a 4low switch. ::)

why not buy a new 05 gv they are body on frame, 2sp transfer case, live rear axle, and they get good mileage. if suzuki doesn't bring anythin better to north america. the 05 gv will be the last of the good zuks here.

i do admit, that thing is fuckin cool, tho i wouldnt wheel it much, i would not spend 25+ grand on a new vehicle to go out in the bush and wheel it, i would drive it around town and logging roads no more then that tho. i would keep mine for wheeling,

p.s i can see why they used thornturds on it, they do look cool, LOOK that is

my lug nuts require more torque then my engine makes ;)

It's only a hype machine, not meant for production.  the GV is all new and they want to get it seen, the Dune and Wave are simply meant to be "what if's" and draw a crowd.  they don't plan to build it and are not getting back to their off-road heratige.  The design inspriation for this vehicle was to make it look like a quad (hence the funny looking exaust pipe and radical flares)  It is impressive, and does need at lest another 3 inches of lift.  None the less i do think i will get a new GV.
