Your friend has a lot to learn! Our FJ Cruisers are quite capable, but claiming that it is the only vehicle capable of outdoing a Rubicon Wrangler is just ignorant. Each has it's place, and there are many variables. For example driver skill/experience definitely make a difference in any vehicle. I would not presume to take my FJC "rock crawling", though I'm sure I could do fine (however I wouldn't "out-do" a Rubi by any means.

As opposed to tow truck? Verbiage.
Ha I noticed they write TowCAR of the Year on every vehicle they Tow with on Youtube, so not just wrangler, its a competition

I see your point. No other 4x4 vehicle is as iconic and well known in the world as Jeep. Even the toys that replicate the best made most capable at an affordable price 4x4 available in the world are everywhere! Point well taken. Thanks for your contribution to this thread.

Howdy Iam back:wings:
Some say that the Wrangler have insufficient payload for overlanding, I just hade to count. My 2013 Rubicon unlimited have a payload of 545kg, 1201.52 pounds.
We say for two people for 20 days without gasstations, shops, water etc, a rather extreme situation.
1 passenger = 75 kg
2 Helinox chairs =2kg
1 Helinox table = 1kg
2 madrasses Exped 1kg
2 sleeping bags 4 kg
1 Fridge 40 liter 16kg
Water 100 liter. 2.5 liter a day for one person. 5x25 =125kg
Tools = 20kg
Personal items = 20kg
Medical bag = 1kg
Tent = 4 kg
Food = 30kg
Kitchen stuff = 10kg
Petrol 100 liters 5x25 = 125kg
Extra battery = 20kg
Solar panel = 5kg
Total for 20 days for 2 people= 459kg (1011.92 pounds).
My payload 545 kg-459kg= 86kg
As I am 86kg (about 189.6 pounds) under the payload I can bring a lot more with me.
You can increase the payload if you take out the rear seat.
I dont know if I have forgotten som vital heavy stuff here but I dont think so.
So the payload is more than sufficient for overlanding with 2 persons in a Jeep Wrangler unlimited for 20 days without any possibility to get supplies.
