Throwback Thursday: Responsible off-roading
It was on an episode of
Motoring 1993 that host
Brad Diamond posed a pair of questions related to the burgeoning popularity of
SUVs.
"When (sport utilities) are driven off-road are they being driven responsibly, and two, are consumers and manufacturers wasting their money on 4x4 technology?"
The answer to the second question still escapes the Motoring TV team some 23 years later, with the
SUV and its descendant, the crossover, more popular than ever before.
To answer the former, the team sat down with
Bert Coates, co-creator of the then-new
Tread Lightly!
Canada, and set out with a group of journalists to find out to do's and don'ts of off-roading.
(This segment originally appeared on
Episode 26 of Motoring 1993.)
