ChaosEngineThat's some serious cross-axling!
Hilux FTW!
newtboyHA!!! As I saw it, that's Hilux FAIL!
The point of ramps like this in my experience is to see how much your suspension can flex. The Hilux didn't do so well, that wheel is pretty high up in the air. My '73 Jeep CJ-5, which is built for 4 wheeling hard core trails like The Rubicon, and has done that one twice, might not lift a tire on that ramp.

bremnetsays...Yes, that's true. A stock Hilux is definitely meant to be kitted out to run the Rubicon with ultra long travel swing arms, springs and shocks. Good comparison. My 1993 Ford Escort wagon lifted a wheel on these types of ramps too, piece of shit car that high centers on even the smallest curb. Couldn't touch anything on the Big Sluice. (Could the point have been that the vehicle is stable on 3 legs and with 4wd able to keep moving with one wheel providing zero traction?? For a stock pickup, not bad)

newtboyAgreed, for STOCK, it did amazing.
EDIT: but for the actual ramp 'score', he did terrible. ;-)
