The saying money can't buy you brains comes up.

nothing like taking a high performance SUV not meant for anything more then a little rain and throwing a semi real off road challenge at it. I hope the tractor owner charged the balls off him.

Those low-profile tires ("tyres: in Aussie) are the problem.
I drove my X5 many times on the beach and never had a hint of getting stuck. Tires are plain base 18".

We don't muck around down here.

What he did was pretty stupid, as not only does the M lack low range, but as serge1 said there's no profile to bag out if you need more footprint.

If you call something a "utility", we're going to use it as one.
Here's mine a few weeks ago with a couple hundred kilo's of wood in the back.

Agree with you there -- there is very little a 550 hp truck with a proper set of squared up winters (Nokian Haaka R2's) cant tackle...and its a TON of fun to have out in the snow too -- the plow guys are typically a bit confused to say the least....Here is mine after a spirited ride home from the mountain after a weekend of skiing -- if you dont use it, you lose it right??
