from what ive read, the tiguan is not really offroad capable as it will be sold in the US but there is a trim package available in most the rest of the world which increases its approach/departure angles and adds some skid plating

The VW Touareg and the Porsche Cayenne are not good off road. The brakes are too big and wheel wells are to small for off road capable tires and there is little to no articulation.But they will kill a VX on the road.

I've actually read very favorable articles about the Touareg off-roading (at least the model with the adjustable air suspension). They say it's about the best unibody off-road vehicle ever made, although there have only been a few others (Grand Cherokee, Freelander)
I've got my eyes open for a low-mileage VX in my area. Hopefully it works out.

This is what happens if you use street tires off road.

go offroad with street tires I would love to mud wrestle one or both of those girls![]()
a car in those pictures
I really liked my ZR2.. They do have a rear Locker, it's more like the Aussie style, it's an Eaton G80 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KbMZ9vcYVSg
They're not without their issues though... I've dealt with many years of this S10 series, alot of cheap interior pieces (but readily available for replacements) Alot of rattles etc.
Similar setup to ours as far as indy front, so a torsion crank, and Shackles will get it off the ground. I had a 2.5" superlift (front UCAs, Torsion crank, Shackles and shocks) plus a 2" body lift.
My brother had a ZR2 Blazer with the 5" superlift, and 2" bodylift, it looked rediculous... Way too much for that vehicle IMO... looked really silly and needed gearing to handle the tires.
I would never trade my VX for one though.
thats not true, they just don't know what they're doing lol
ive been off road so many times with street tires... those girls just put they car/truck where it's not supposed to be...
just a lillooks like they have more friends that are just as stupid on the home page too
yeah, looks like they rent cars... get them stuck... and wrestle...
hmmm sounds kinda like what i do with rental cars.... except i wrestle with tight turns and tire spin![]()
