Flat places still have sand, dirt, rocks, mud, and snow.
In WWII the Willie's jeep was basically unstoppable and it is about 1/4 the size of the monster trucks that Americans need to drive to get KFC
I know, my car is a Subaru Crosstrek which is basically a lifted AWD hatchback. It comfortably holds 4 adults and bikes, kayaks, cargo basket with whatever thanks to a hitch and roof rack. Similar ground clearance to much larger vehicles.
Its kinda sad that thr jeep cherokee sport was kinda the perfect size for what it did and was the size of a nisaan cube. Now compare a 2001 jeep cherokee sport to a fucking rubicon. Seriously why the hell are modern vehicles so fucking large compared to the first SUVs even.
