Forrest,

I have a CRV, and have had Jeeps, Broncos, including an original 72 model, and 4X4 pickups. The CRV is a "yard" jeep. I would not even think of taking it on a serious off road venture. The Pilot is some better, on par with Explorers and the like, but not a Jeep capable vehicle.

Having said that and having just copied Zonker and using a Subie Outback as the toad, I will say I DON't need those heavy duty vehicles for anything I have wanted to do in the last ten years.

And Hoosier is so dead on, the real 4X4 jobs drink the gas and they do not ride or handle all that well. I think his choice of a diesel in the baby Jeep is something to consider.

I was perfectly happy with the CRV as a toad.
