Man up there insisted he needed to lift his truck to avoid "bottoming
out" in "two foot snow drifts" so that he can get to work. Let's break
that down. A "lifted" truck is one that has been modified to increase
the height of the undercarriage over the ground. In the US, this is
often done in one-inch increments. Four inches is about as much as
you'd lift a Jeep Wrangler without getting crazy. That's roughly the
depth he's talking about. A 'knee boot' that would fit you would be
about two feet high, and if you were wearing it, two feet would be
about the top of the boot. If you had to walk through snow that deep,
you might have some trouble. But if you only had to walk through
a "drift" that deep, probably not, since the surrounding snow would not
be that deep. Next is ground clearance, also called ride height, which
is the vertical distance between a flat surface a vehicle is on and the
lowest-hanging part of the vehicle that is not intended to contact the
ground.

THE Australian motoring media has long lamented the lack of a diesel
engine option in the huge and hugely opulent Lexus LX four-wheel-drive.
And now the brand has finally listened, transplanting the 4.5-litre
twin-turbo diesel V8 from the Toyota LandCruiser 200 on which the big
Lexus is based. 8650 less than the V8 petrol-powered LX570. After a
week living with the derv-devouring LX, we remained unconvinced that
the diesel transition was particularly successful or worthwhile. No two
ways about it, the Lexus LX450d is bloody expensive. 134,500 plus
on-road costs. 14,170 more than the LandCruiser 200 Sahara diesel on
which it鈥檚 based. It costs about the same as a Mercedes-Benz GLS350d
Sport or Range Rover Sport HSE SDV6. 23,600 more than the Infiniti
QX80. 23,600 difference in fuel savings. But none of the above rivals
can hold a candle to the Lexus鈥?LandCruiser breeding - although the
Infiniti does have Nissan Patrol guts - and we鈥檇 wager the Lexus
holds its value better than the Europeans and the Infiniti.

In the GLE 450 AMG 4MATIC Coupe, DYNAMIC SELECT not only modulates
the "hard skills" such as the chassis and suspension, steering or
powertrain. It is also possible to experience the selected mode more
intensively on an emotional level because various "soft skills" such as
the engine sound, instruments or dynamic control of the driving lights
also vary. To this end, the nature of the various displays on the
COMAND screen and in the cockpit changes according to the selected
transmission mode. If the driver selects COMFORT mode, the displays
take on lesser importance and, like the engine, the dial instruments
such as the rev counter show a relaxed response to the driver's
commands. In combination with the comfort-oriented control of the
powertrain and suspension, the result is a feel-good ambience at the
level of a sedan. The engine sound is reduced to a pleasant timbre, and
the feedback from the road surface and surroundings is considerably
quieter in the interior.
