Why wouldn't someone prize capability over the latest electronic gadgets?

[@drivingsports]

Audi Q7 has some really cool tech. Almost worth not getting a low range gearbox (allllllmost)

[@mrrodneyalong]

I owned the 2017 and now a 2020 both are P.o.s. off road you can get stuck in your driveway- I have. If 1 wheel on each axle is lifed or light it will moan creak jump and roll back . Driving from my driveway at a 45 degree angle to go up a hill to our pasture on hard dry solid ground this thing has a fit- my 98 dodge ram with a simple factory limited slip does it easily in 2 wheel drive. To get the Armada to do it I have to put it into 4 low and turn off traction control and then start up it at 5 mph or faster. Its stupid and you can't put the patrol rear locker in it and i haven't found 1 locker or LSD that will fit the rearend

Did you guys not get the Patrol in the US?

[@drivingsports]

Nope. This is the closest we've come to getting it.

[@matgee8892]

You know i am always surprised at the cars you folks missed out on in the US. I always assumed you had everything. The Patrol is something of a legend here in Australia.

[@drivingsports]

At least we can still get a properly equipped 4Runner TRD Pro.

[@akilghosh]

Wheel articulation was cringe worthy

[@lop8828]

the same vehicle new styling i see

[@drivingsports]

Different platform. New styling. But otherwise... sure.

[@BramtheMan1]

All SUV are the same, just the tech is updated so you visit the dealer to get it fixed more often

[@125conman]
