The good news is the JK is not the top 10 slowest vehicles on the list.

Jeez, consumer reports are a joke anyway. Most of the time when I go with my friends off-roading in their jeeps, I see countless other jeeps and rarely of toyotas.

Maybe Toyota bribed Consumer Reports.

What's funny is they also rated the JK the 7th worst made vehicle ever and then they rank it great off road?

The FJ is not #1, nor is the JK #5. It's just a list in no particular order.

This is stupid and not really an off road test just a large cobble street hill done kind of poorly.

I thought the FJ had lockers. At least I recall a friend of mine mentioning how his lockers really helped when he went off road in his FJ. Maybe on one axle?

Don't confuse us with the facts. The Wrangler is not at the top of the list and that's heresy.
