In the east side of Hudson River opposite of West Point spend most of the three miles or 20-30 mile per hour range during normal days.
It seems reasonable since there is a one lane Trail that starts at 400ft, winding drop from the upper realm of the Hudson Highlands down to the river’s edge through a series of one lane switch-backs and S-curves with a mountain on one side and a straight drop on the other.
This type of course can be travelled smoothly if you’re in a sports car and want to push the envelope a bit and run in the 50 – 60 range to see how well it handles on very tight curves.
That is the category which generally rules out trucks, SUVs, and most regular sedans. Mercedes came out with a solution and launched Mercedes GLK-350, a mini truck with four wheel drive and a handling of a sports car.
This is a type of vehicle with aggressive, large, forward leaning grill of a racer and 20-inch, seven-spoke, and mag wheels. This model doesn’t have the soft curves and flowing lines.
It has sharp angles and elbows, a rakish rear rather than the standard box found on station wagons or gentle incline of most small SUVs.
In addition, GLK runs on rugged roads with ease because of independent suspension and traction controls which can run on the meanest and roughest road in town.
