Here in Utah I got a chance to drive both the SE and the OR on Off Road test drives. I took them up trails that I barely made it up. I'm talking beatings. I found that climbing was much more controlled in the OR due to the firmer suspension. The SE felt bouncy when trying to do a rocky hill climb but was still impressive. They both made it but I had to go faster and beat it up more to make it in the SE.
I am coming from the Jeep Rock crawling world and I'll I can say is these rigs are simply amazing even in stock form. I can not believe how well they climb and handle. I just bought me an 05 X OR and I am driving that. The jeep is parked and I might just get rid of it. Never thought I would say that!!
