Four Wheeler hasn?t done a test of pure off-road capability in quite a while the "Ultimate 4x4" test was the last one I remember.

Hate to be a "been there done that".....but
A few weekends ago I was wheelin with my bud in his new Rubicon (600 miles on it)......and in certain situations I had to wait on the Rubicon.

Most notably very steep gravel inclines in the 45-50' length where you see nothing but sky the whole way up.

I was crawling in 1st and low lock....full tire pressure
He was 1st, low lock, WITH his lockers on 2nd/3rd/4th attempt.
I made it up with nothing but a slight spin at the top prior to the ST kicking in.

I just wait at the top just in case we needed to use his winch. :giggling:

as far as the power wagon goes, I think it's approach and departure angles, especially departure, are going to play a huge role in where it can go and get out of. So yes I do think it's less capable the the 3.

If I needed a full size pick-up. I would want a Power Wagon for sure.

The lockers and the swaybar disconnect rock.
