So unless you are a fragile piece of human, choose the right one.

That being said, what kind of "off road" conditions are any of the trucks really contending with? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] FireRetardant@lemmy.world 2 points 3 years ago Whats best is the kei 4x4 is probably significantly better in most off road situations due to its lighter weight and shorter wheel base. You can drive/manuever around things easier and when you are on mud or sand, the lighter weight prevents sinking. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Blamemeta@lemmy.world 1 point 3 years ago Muddy fields when parking at church or boy scouts or whatever. permalink fedilink source parent
