A sierra would have gotten over that

Sierra (swb) is shorter than a vitara (swb) by the better part of a foot. I reckon therefore that the improved ramp over would mean that it would not have bottomed out in that situation. hense the comment "a sierra would have gotten over that"

ummm... 50% more capacity = 50% more torque.
2.28 low range = another 50% more torque.
The combo is probably cheaper than a GRP rockhopper
I am still assessing this one... don't knock being a toyota \/\/anker until you'ver tried it

Yeah... in 1500+ kilo of Hilux it's gonna be a lot more gutless than in 1000 kil of SWB vit though.
