When I saw the title of this 4x4 offroad torture test I knew the JK had it in the bag but how the hell did the Xterra win?

They call it a 4x4 torture test and then give points for on road performance. Sheesh. These people really don't know what they want. Jk has noisey tires? Come on.

Yep, always follow the money. And sorry, while I park by many of them on the street, I sure don't see Xterra's where I drive off of them.
