Found this on 4wd Action forum here in Australia. Has some interesting results (say what you want about trick photography etc blah blah blah) but taken on face value, the stock 200 stacks up pretty well in the articulation stakes vs 4 other popular models over here that all had 2in lift kits in them....

The 200 is stock and everything else has a 2" lift. The 100 is a 105 rigid front suspension too.
Imagine if the 200 had a 2" lift like the rest.
The other thing is that the photo highlights one of the major issues with the 200 approach angle. A 2" lift and a decent bull bar fixes that though. And a kaymar bar helps the rear too. Camera wasn't moved.

I can't remember if the Pajero is IFS/IRS or not, but the others are all live axles.
That is a great photo. And well done to Toyota 200 on the ramp index.
