re sport utility vehical comparisons any opinions i just read articals on this in road and track and car and driver is that one mag or two b and i was wondering if people out there have any opinions that differed from what these mags have to say depending on how you plan to use your suv i might recommend also browsing trailer boats and one or more of those pickup shotgun and wd magazines the car rags mostly seem to consider recently graded pea gravel to be offroading and ten sacks of redwood chips to be a bedload considering that most of these suvs seem to be used mostly as robust station wagons that s probably not a bad approach but if your applications are more demanding pick your information sources accordingly of the three vehicles on your short list explorer runner pathfinder i d recommend the runner as being closely based on a rather robust pickup and the explorer for being comfortably carlike don t know much about the pathfinder good luck joe just another personal opinion from the people s republic of berkeley
