05XLT and the Fallon Mud Bog

05XLT has agreed to renting a car for that weekend - we intend to enter it in the Mud Bog. He is in the Las Vegas area so lets all make suggestions as to which vehicle he rents, and where.

The rules for a Street entry are simple;
1. Current registration and license,
2. DOT approved street tires no larger than 33",
3. Factory type engine - Ford to Ford, GM to GM
4. Open headers, under chassis only
5. 4, 6, and 8 cylinders will run together (what of the V10?)
6. Single carb or fuel injection
7. No nitrous
8. Turbos, or Superchargers must be factory installed.

And, of course there is an unlimited class - you run whatever you bring.

Now he has to drive it up so we should get something comfortable (or not )

I suggest a Lincoln Navigator with the biggest engine he can get but maybe a RamCharger or a Tahoe would be faster? Can you rent a Dodge with the Viper engine?

I suggest Hertz (I would take the extra insurance!) but do not know the best rental place in the Las Vegas area - any suggestions?

What you guys think?
