ZDX Road Trip Through the Rockies

I recently had the opportunity to take a Canadian ZDX w/Tech on a snowboarding adventure through the rockies. With the right tires, it's a beast on winter highways. I've been up some super steep roads with rain, slush snow and ice and it was hardly a test.

I'm still new with a camera, but I managed to take a ton of photos of a mostly dirt covered ZDX. I've attached a few below, but if you want to read more about the trip and the mini ZDX review visit the links below:

Nice write up, seems like you had a great time snow boarding. You racked a lot up in your 10 days.

Nice write up. What made you choose the ZDX over other awd vehicles.

Dont get me wrong I love my zdx and think you made the best choice but just wondering because the zdx is usually the last vehicle to come to peoples mind.

Well I'm a bit partial towards Acura, and I had a "hook up" so I really didn't have a choice of any AWD vehicle I wanted.

Regardless I still would have picked the ZDX. I haven't had too much experience with SH-AWD, but after seeing the Motortrend video the choice was obvious.


I wasn't hauling a family or anything so the MDX's extra space wasn't needed. Plus, if I'm going to do a road trip, might as well go in style and with luxury. Loved the dual moonroofs, it was nice to look behind me and see the natural light illuminate the cabin.
