Here's the kind of feedback I was hoping for!

Built on a truck frame, does 0-60 in around 6 seconds, has 400 horsepower, tows like a SOB, and is AWD. Sounds a lot like a truck to me, minus the absence of a bed.


Meh, closer to 7

Very true, seems he did say somewhere AWD now that you mention it. I respectfully change my stance on the rubber, not the letters.

I was on the fence about it at first because I prefer a selectable transfer case. But after living with it, I love AWD.

It shoots out of the hole so fast. Yea, the tires still chirp but they all do rather than just lighting up the rear ones. It's also fun to turn off traction control in the rain, build the revs, and gun it from a stop. I can spin all 4 tires for about 20-30 feet before they grip.

I can't wait to do AWD donuts on these tires to send them to the grave when I replace them.

Haven't looked at the sizes yet, but I'm probably going with the new Toyo R/T's in the next month. Perfect tire IMO since the Baja ATZ has been discontinued

Between 6 and 7 to be precise. I rounded one way, you rounded the other.

If it's slower than 6.6 there's no rounding down.

I've been trying to research to see what is the largest/fattest rubber I can fit. It's looking like my two options in factory setup are:

275/55/20 (stock)
305/50/20 (not as tall but fatter)

True.

Either way, the thing pulls like a freight train.

Is it the new or previous model? If it's the previous, I'm sure there are a million threads out there considering a lot of truck owners bitched about not being able to fit 35's on the 1500

FWIW a smart car would pull like a freight train compared to your old "truck"

2010, so not the brand new generation that was released this year, but the most recent one.

Refer to my comment about 18 wheelers or Semi-Trucks. They need a trailer to tow an ATV. So does my vehicle.

The Envoy was pretty horribly underpowered, especially in the low-end torque department.
