While most won't notice, the rwd-bias of Territory doesn't get matched by any of the Koreans that have a fwd-biased platform.
In heavy towing also, a rwd biased vehicle is superior in almost all situations.

I learnt that the hard way once, gravel road, fully loaded van and fully loaded trailer, crossed a single lane bridge slowly and had no grip from the front wheels going up the incline...they just spun and chewed themselves up and had to be dragged up by a farmer...
edit..forgot to say it was a 2007 T5 Transporter.
