Except you can't pull a 5th wheel with it, so it's not even that

Sick trucks... All of 'em.

So it looks like y'alls criteria for ultimate SUV is based upon how much fuel it can burn in a mile? They're all obnoxious IMO.

Personally, when we trailer/camp, I pull two bikes on a HarborFreight trailer behind an Integra or Accord which both get about 22~25mpg while towing.

But thanks for the pious attitude anyway...

Hey, I drive an E90 M3 and a Ridgeline, so I'm not exactly pious!

But my wife and I try to conserve where we can. She drives a Jetta TDI, and fuel mileage is weighing heavily in our search for a bigger family hauler (Subie Outback @ 22/29 mpg is currently in the lead).

I didn't say fifth wheel. I said tag trailer. It is the ultimate tag trailer rig, and not surprisingly, that's what they're used for (large boats, mostly).

They do have some that have a crew cab (4 doors) and a utility bed, with 5th wheel flange for even larger 5th wheel towing.

The Unimog and Mercedes are rather pimp......But the rest seem like poser gear for those Mexicans & White guys who want the fake semi-tractor look with the exhaust stacks and the whole 9 yards. Not to mention they are more "full-size trucks" rather than SUVs. You want a real "ultimate SUV" that is actually decent to drive on the street, check this.........Supercharged, bitch!

I agree on the "fake semi" thing. I'm not sure if what you are posting up is any better though. Anyone who seriously takes a vehicle off road would either not put the plastic ground effects crap on it or it would be damaged and hanging all over the place.

I agree, that Land Rover would be near-useless off-road, but from what I've seen the vast majority of SUV's never go off-road or tow anything. So it stands to reason that those who are looking for the "ultimate SUV" would probably want a street cruiser, while those who want to tow heavy loads would instead be looking for the "ultimate full-size pickup"
