JK vs MXT
So my boss has an International MXT.
This thing is big it has a wheelbase of 168", wiehgts 11,000lbs, coms stock on 20"rims with 40" Xtreme allterrains and has space inside to comfotably tote around 5 full size sumo wrestlers with room to spare.
My boss harasses me on a daily basis that his truck will out wheel my Jeep any day of the week and on any surface.
I have had the chance to drive this abomination quite a few times and personaly I hate it.. it is too big, too slow (even with a chip to bump up power) too loud, the interior is nice but feels cheap in all it is an over prices package.
Now unfortunatly I will never get a chance to shut his mouth as he wouldn't take this thing off-road no more than a dirt road or driveway.
What do you guys think.. other than towing I think the JK out classes in all areas period...

No way. For starters you got him in looks. That bitch he drives is fugly, not to mention how much it weighs. It would be an anchor offroad. Keep givin him shit, and let him know whenever he's ready, to bring it.

That thing is a monster! But i think that its too big in all areas to be a threat off road. it would bottom out on any rock because the wheelbase is just way too long.

Unless there is an advantage to towing a mobile home behind you while off roading, the JK wins hands down. Is that the swaybar sticking out from behind the bumper? That thing is huge, almost the diameter of my driveshafts.

Wrangler JK Unlimited: International MXT:
Approach: 44.6 40.0
Departure: 25.5 23.0
Turning Circle: 40.2 feet 49 feet
It's not a doubt in my mind who would win..hands down. The ONLY place he will have you is in water fording simply cause he is up higher. You get a snorkel to solve that. I would love to go wheeling with him so I could laugh my ass off at him lol
