Which should you choose?

We will not advise between these two machines, because their unladen weight differs by more than 25% (30%); the drive differs (Two-wheel or four-wheel drive; 4WD); they were not built in overlapping years (2002–2005; 1995–1997). The figures below are side by side so you can judge them yourself; each says whether it was measured, claimed or declared by its source.
