Mine's a 4X2 6 cyl. and my previous X was a 4X2 with a 4 cyl. My primary use is to and from work, highway trips, and occasional camping trips. I need to carry 3 or 4 people, camping and/or photo equip. Both vehicles handled all. I work for a survey/engineering co. and will regularly go to job sites in undeveloped/raw property. In dry conditions, I've never had a problem getting to where I needed. In most wet conditions, taking it easy and smart, I have no probs. During or soon after torrential downpours I keep my butt in the office. But I always enjoy driving my X knowing that it's a good looking truck, the mileage isn't too bad for an SUV, it's quite capable, and the price was right for me.
