Like Shep said, its rather scary in a sierra at that speed. It's not worth your or other's lives on the road.

it is because they weigh the same as 2 cartons of coke and the back wheels rub on the front wheels.
i find i can drive for 1000ks in a day just so long as i sit on 80/90kph.

i voted sierra because the question which one is better offroad, not which is overall better all rounder.

just look at what out of sierra's vs vitara's are winning offroad comps like tough tracks etc. a sierra is always ahead of a vitara if you see vitara's there in the first place.

i own a vitara now coz i dont go offroad so often anymore but they still go well, but not as well as a sierra.

Both have their pro's and con's.

A swb will tackle alot. Just no so good on large rock climbs as of the short wheelbase.

A lwb will do the same, but more on rock climbs. Carrys more. But has a lower rampover angle, and a lower departure angle.

Everything changes once you start modifying it for the better though.
