Is it my imagination or...

After driving Jeeps for 20 years, I disagree. With the exception of not having a 2x4 [selectable] option, I prefer this drivetrain to the more popular Jeep stuff. Their diffs are the trash.

Sorry but you probably didn't understood my statement

I wasn't making a comparison of the VX and the Jeep.

My point is that the Vehicross has a awesome design,but its drive train is unrealiable
and not dependable as we all wished.

I mention that isuzu's 3.5L engine is probably the worst japanese engine ever built and unfortunately ended up in the VX.

No, I understood. When something goes wrong, everyone tends to think they bought the worst POS imagineable.

Ask me about the Sumitomo tires (made by Goodyear/Dunlap) on my Vette. They work, but they're crap because I had two sets in a row with more than one tire having a factory imbalance. I'll blast them from now on.

Gotta say that 270k VX we've seen in this forum proves the drivetrain can last. Plus, every differential is NOT a whiney piece of crap -- like 1999-2001 Jeeps. Wanna hear about their "hidden" alum head problem in those years? What about failure rates of the V8's in the 100-120k mile range.

It's all he-said, she-said. This forum can't even come to a consensus on what the issue is. Kinda means there's not one in my book.
