Hello everyone!
     The Syncro has ample ground clearence.   Its limiting factors are,
front and rear over hang, only 95 hp and exposed exhaust system.  I have
driven my Syncro off road alot.  It has better traction ability than my '90
S-10 blazer.  I have crawled over rocks and logs, through deep mud, forded
shallow streams, climbed steep grades and buried  it up to the frame in mud.

If you can't dazzle them with brilliance,
baffle them with bull sh*t.
