Poor breakover angle or the pictures dont really convey the drop.

Combination of both. The drop was about two feet. The GC of the Scorpio is only 180mm and the break over angle is bad due to the long wheel base and low ground clearance. The low hanging running boards further decrease the break over angle. I think without the running boards, it would have made it.

If you add taller tyres for better gc, remove the crappy front, rear bumpers and running boards, it is quite capable off-road. Other than places that required high Approach/departure/breakover angles it did fine.

4x4 Nice pix. KL 5 eh? The Scorp is here or at Chennai?

Manu; nice pics and imagination. Liked the limo one. 5.5k for those ( and of course the effort you put ) !

buddy boy
i tried pushing my 2WD up a 45-50degree slope in coorg a couple of weeks ago. of course the road surface was ghastly - just mud and some loose stones here and there plus some bits of dried grass and of course the inevitable slush. since the incline started immediately after a sharp almost 90 degree turn, there was no way one could build momentum.

it cried to do that and I smelt the beginnings of "clutch fry" so I stopped.

my take is that it is too heavy and cant do that kind of climb on such road conditions in its 2WD avatar without having built sufficient momentum and even if one has sufficient momentum theres always a chance of slip-sliding back.

what do you think? would appreciate your view as a seasoned off road man.
cheers

Excellent pics 4x4.

M&M has made the vehicle too snazzy with all the plastic and external overhangs to even clasify it now as true offroader. It more like city car.

You got it. Next week I am taking his Scorpio to Leh trip.
I guess Tahir is coming to meet you today.
I have a 3rd generation 4Runner which shares the same plaform/chasis with Prado. I have her pictures posted on this site and also you can find it in my T-BHP garage.

Spike - This is 07 model.
Raj - Absolutely correct these are prestige alloys.
