So is the Limited technically the most off-road capable of the KJ family now? It's best in all 4 categories! I used to think it went (from most capable to least) Renegade, Sport, Limited but now... ??? Is this a "changing of the guard" so to speak or has it always been this way?
I know that the less Clearance and Breakover of the Renegade is probably due to the side rails that come standard (and aren't standard on the Sport or Limited) but what's up with the Approach and Departure angles? Is anyone else as suprised by all this data as I was?
I know the driver's capabilities mean more than anything, but a more capable off-road machine can only help.
