CarExpert's Take
Matt Campbell
Senior Contributor
Matt Campbell drove this car and these were their findings:
Hits
- Looks unbelievably cool
- Some serious off-road adjustments
- Decent price compared to aftermarket
Misses
- Needs more ground clearance
- Better as an overlander than a serious off-roader
- Still has some super annoying safety tech
