    I’ve owned two Suzuki Samurais at different times in my life as my primary mode of transportation for a total of about 12 years of my life. Somehow I managed to keep all 4 wheels on the ground the whole time…well except for the times I purposefully took it airborne. Which both Samurais also had no problem with.

      It’s the short wheelbase and solid rear axle. They are unstable even driving straight.

        And with the pickup trucks, it’s the high center of gravity which makes them deathtraps.

    Same is true for any tall SUV or pickup, then people lift them so they can die faster.

  They’re called Jimny in Japan and Latin America. Check them out. You can import a 25+ year old one for about $7000, usually with 49k miles.

      It is. But a Geo Tracker and Jimny might as well be the same.

    I rented a Jimny in Aruba and took it off road. Was one of the most fun driving cars I’ve been in.

      Totally. The new ones are so nice.

      I drive a 94 Delica these days. It’s a great 4x4.
