I put my little Nitro to the test last week with some hill-climbing and narrow bush roads near Timmins while getting photos of a forest fire. The little Chevy Tracker I had before would go anywhere, rain, snow, mud, whatever. I am still not sure about the Nitro since it's a 1000 pounds heavier than the Tracker. It's built on a Jeep chassis with an excellent 4X4 package, but it doesn't seem as nimble. Although I was able to get over some big rocks without any trouble. Maybe I'm the one who is nervous, since the paint job is still so new eh.

The competition now is your sister's new Honda PIlot. Race ya!
ReplyDeleteWoohoo, that's a very nice Northern Ontario truck. Now you can go anywhere. Neighbours got one of those last year and they say it's great in the bush.
ReplyDeleteIt should also be great for driving on the brutal 401.
