I had an FX45 as a service loaner while getting some minor stuff attended to on the G35. Handling is top notch for something that size. It's quite close to handling to the Porsche Cayenne I'm currently using as a demo (and waaayyy cheaper). Power is excellent and the ride is exceptional. Probably one of the best bang for the buck utes out there. I didn't do any serious off-roading in it, but it did handle the HORRIBLE dirt road leading up to the in-laws house out in the sticks quite well. I'd take a test drive.
