I like my X! I went from a full size GMC 4X4 with a 4.9 V6, which in no way compared to my friends full size trucks with the 350 CI engines. However it did peform amazingly well. 30 more horses makes a difference. However, the X seems to perform fairly well. I have been really impressed with the limited offroad experience I have had. It seems to crawl well through mud & sand even with the stock tires. I have had to rely on the warn once to pull me out though. Pulling the boat, and up to 3800 pounds seems to do fine.
