It only reinforces my desire. I WANT THIS CAR!
For those too lazy to see the article for the video, here it is:

Suzuki Jimny/Jimny Sierra snow towing video.
With 4 low gear reduction, it's not that big a deal.
My 4Runner is pretty heavily modified with dual transfer cases, so my end gear reduction is around 200:1 ... That's 36,000 lb-ft of torque to the wheels.

Right, but many simply don't believe that this tiny SUV can do this. It's also likely the truck was accelerating as well after the Jimny helped it get out of its rut.~tc~ wrote:With 4 low gear reduction, it's not that big a deal.

It's still rather impressive because that Jimny is a kei car that has a 660cc turbo engine and makes a gov't regulated 63 HP max. There is a 1300cc N/A version, however, the video clearly shows that it has a yellow license plate. Yellow plates are only found on kei cars meaning it must have a 660cc engine.
The Jimny also gets up to 35 MPG.
Again, to reinterate... I WANT THIS CAR!
