You have to wonder who writes this trash and whether they really know what they're talking about.

A robust chassis features formed framerails integrated into a unitized body structure

Really!? - this is a full body-on-frame truck - unbolt and lift off - no integration or "unitization" here.

We like the fact that Trackers come with manual locking hubs and traditional U-joint-style front drive axles

Last time I looked - I'm pretty sure I saw CV axles - but, I was looking at a Sidekick - maybe the Tracker is different.

Never, ever did I think I would see Fordem post something that he knew was not right.  It is late and I am tired, I'm missing the adjective.  Maybe he has been reading too much trash?

Nah - I'm just being snarky and giving him the benefit of the doubt - but honestly, I've never looked under the front of a Tracker, as far as I know they have CV axles too, but, I've never looked ... ;)

I was tired, and couldn't come up with what word I was looking for, snarky is close and I should have considered it. 
Snarky definition, snide and sarcastic; usually out of irritation, often humorously.
Facetious is what I couldn't come up with.  I guess its my word
Facetious definition, not meant to be taken seriously or literally: a facetious remark.
I'll let Snarky be your word.
