Big GMC Suburban Off-road Monster

Saw this 49 inch modified GMC Suburban while surfing the net. I was really amazed because this truck really rocks! This off-road vehicle has some nice Atlas gears which makes it more powerful.

Its beefy tires has strong axles and driveline. Up front is a Dana 60 reverse with extra strong axles, air lockers and air bag suspension.

With the help of the strong Duramax 6.6 engine and some strong mud tires, this truck is capable of taking any off-road challenge.

Amazingly the tires don't look overly large for this truck. They just seem to be made for this SUV. There is not much stopping this truck!

Some trucks with larger tires seem to loose a lot of their highway driving capabilities but I can tell you that this Suburban is not one of them. In fact it rides just like a normal car - only difference is in the off road capabilities.

Nissan Murano

Trying to staisfy my insatiable craving for the hottest news on the latest SUV models, I allowed my mouse to do some serious browsing over the weekend. And guess what? I came across Nissan's newest SUV for 2009. They actually did not introduce any SUV last year -- whether intentionally or not, your guess is as good as mine.

Anyways, there's this nice review I saw which came out in LeftNews. According to the review, Nissan has "refined the Murano's standard engine and introduced a second-generation Xtronic CVT. Nissan's standard 3.5 liter V6 has been on Ward's '10 Best Engines' list for 13 years. The Murano also has intuitive all-wheel-drive or front-wheel-drive."


It further noted that all 2009 Muranos feature a VQ-series 3.5-liter DOHC V6 rated at 265 horsepower and 248 lb-ft of torque coupled to a CVT transmission with Adaptive Shift Control (ASC). 2009 Muranos are available in front-wheel drive or with an all-wheel drive system. The Murano comes standard with Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC) with a Traction Control System (TCS).

Visually though, the most striking visual element in this hot new vehicle is the contour of its body. The new Murano design also includes an available dual panel power sliding glass moonroof and second row skylight. Other available features include a new foldaway cargo organizer, heated front and rear seats, power liftgate, rain-sensing front wipers and RearView Monitor.

Looks real good, if you ask me. What do you think? Appreciate your comments and thoughts.
