Where does the four-wheel underground suspension shine more?

0:04.6

Creeping crawling on the Rubicon or going crazy fast out on Johnson Valley desert floor?

0:10.0

Yeah, good question.

0:11.4

It honestly does great in both scenarios.

0:13.7

Whether I'm going through the Rubicon or doing 50 to 60 miles an hour through washes at Johnson Valley,

0:18.6
