The Nissan Patrol (Or Safari, as the JDM version is known) is a Civillian vehicle, it's what it gets used for 90% of the time (Ferrying around Rich kids in Auckland and Sydney normally), but the UN use them a lot for desert work.

The Toyota Hilux is similar to a Tacoma.

The Pathfinder is built around the chassis of a Datsun ute, it can get around many a tough Terrain. Though I'd prefer the US-only XTerra...

The Towing differences are minimal- I know for Certain that I'll never need to tow anything that weighs 8100 Lbs, yet alone 7100.

From what I've seen Chrysler are one of the few companies who get Turbocharging right- A teardown of the SRT-4's engine block showed that the Internals of the engine are capable of at least 500 bhp (meaning at the stock hp rating, the engine will be VERY reliable) - this test was done by Sport Compact Car, btw. While some Chryslers have issues with blowing headgaskets and slightly weaker than average transmissions, they are generally reliable cars.

Here's a question for you-
What cars do GM have in the same class that are better than:
a 300C (The STS isn't out yet and is largely untested)
the Dodge Ram SRT-10? (Don't say Silverado SS, because it's a joke of a truck)
the Grand Cherokee (as an Offroader, not a Cushy mumsy wagon)
a Voyager/Caravan?
an SRT-4?
a Durango? (Trailblazer also being something of a joke)

I could go on, but I'll leave you to this...
