On this episode of The Downshift, Four Wheeler editor John Cappa offers a behind-the-scenes look at the sights and sounds from this year's Four Wheeler of the Year competition.  From drag racing to rock crawling to dirt sliding to dune jumping, each contender is subjected to a barrage of extreme 4x4 testing in order to find one truck and one SUV worthy of the title "2012 Four Wheeler of the Year".

The Downshift appears every Tuesday on the new Motor Trend channel.
