    At the end he says if you can’t afford a ZR2 then the off road isn’t a bad choice. Shouldn’t he be comparing it to the Pro then? Since they’re probably in the same price point instead of ragging on the truck that is a few thousand below

    I guess you are not a George Carlin fan. He’s got a great bit on stupid people and that’s where this joke originates.

    yeah i'm a carlin fan and was already familiar with it. he was wrong too. in a perfect situation, it would be accurate. based on my own personal dealings with people both in retail for 7 years and IT for another 14 years, the average person is dumber than a box of rocks. The average intelligence could be considered to be high if intelligence is a number, but that is being driven up by a handful of smart people. you are way more likely to meet a dumbass than a genius.

    Why give any credence to this grossly subjective opinion "review" at all...

    Their test truck is a "TRD Off Road 4X4 double cab long bed", and it's clearly a '16 or '17 access cab (in Jul2018). Some pics also show a DCSB Limited. These jackwagons don't even know what kind of truck they're "reviewing"...

    They could be nuts or full of shit too. Carlin was right.

    If we all listened to CR we'd have the most bland, A-B vehicle that would be no more inspiring than my washing machine. If you want an appliance then they're your go to reviewers. Hell, if I want to make sure I buy the best bang for my buck, reliable and dependable household goods I grab a CR and take their opinion seriously. But if you enjoy your vehicle, if your rig represents something than just transportation to you then you're doing yourself a serious disservice.

    The premise is correct... The math is not.
