The Waggy being the best handling of the bunch is the most hilarious thing I’ve ever imagined being tested. I’ve driven all three of these and it is most definitely a cruise ship in heavy seas.

1990 was a good year, mainly because I was born.

Damn. I just stumbled on this exact story looking for images of the grand Wang.

That’s what I thought too. None of them are good but the wagoneer the best? Yikes

Can’t believe LC didn’t win. Objectively the best here, and not the least of which because it’s the only one not designed in the 196 0's and still being sold in the 1990s (!) Cr azy how our perception of model lifespans has changed; the original XC90 was already considered old at a decade and a half, but it would have to live to 2029 to be the same age as the Rangie when the Mark I went out of production.

Yea, I love the waggy don’t get me wrong but this is clearly a RR vs LC fight. I guess 1990 was a weird time lol.

The RRC was still a better truck in every way over the 3F powered 80. If this test was done in 93 the 80 would be a clear winner with triple lockers and the 1FZ (even though you get the LWB RRC by then) , and then in 95 the RRC would win with the soft dash interior and revised traction control system .

I almost wonder if the Jeep  felt as archaic as it looks next to the others, or it was more of a Hellcat Charger vs M5 feeling.  Like, yea its old but not bad.

Fair enough, as a young’n I’ve never lived in a time without a V8 LC so that’s just an integral part of them as far as I’m concerned. I just feel like the Rangie’s interior must have been so outdated and the reliability woes well-documented by 1990 that in terms of day-to-day the LC would just have been plusher, more reliable, and more agile/car-like despite being underpowered. I suppose they were judging based on off-road merit as well since people back then still thought they’d be overlanding on the weekends.

The RRC wasn’t plagued with unreliability . That stigma didn’t hit the brand until the late 90s/early 2000s with the P38 and D2.

The 80 and RRC have very similar ride quality on and off road. The suspension geometry is  almost identical between the two.
