Default Re: Stock 4x4 comparison

I'm tracking 3 kinds of data - Power, Agility and Utility.

'Power' contains max HP@rpm, max torque@rpm, curb weight, GVWR, 1st gear ratio, xfer case ratio, axle ratio, and tire diameter as the raw data.

To account for weight and gearing in each SUV, I calculated geared crawl rates (ft/s or s/ft) and worked out the formulas to compare their ability to climb different grades in 1st gear-low, based on the vehicle's weight and a standard weight for crew and cargo.

'Agility' includes ground clearance, approach/breakover/departure angles, turn diameter (curb to curb), size, wheelbase and track width. I also included full-time AWD, locking diff(s), traction control, stability control, hill start assist, and descent control.

'Utility' lists fuel economy, fuel capacity, payload, cargo volume, and tow capacity. It can also calculate towing acceleration based on a given tow weight (plus curb weight + ?? lbs crew and cargo) to compare vehicle acceleration on a boat ramp and from a stop.
