    The SUVs you see drive around in big cities are not capable off-road with their bigass alloy wheels and low profile street tyres. A real Range Rover (not the sport) or Land Cruiser can serve double duty, but that’s just about it.

      Depends on the city really, mine is pretty big and I do see a bunch of land cruisers, pajeros, subarus of all sorts. A lot of Jimnys too which is nice, I’d hate for them to disappear

        Are you Australian? Because those guys has some different needs than most other “western” countries. But I’m not really talking about Pajeros, Jimnys and other proper 4x4s, I’m talking about Chelsea tractors with low profile tyres and no low range that are bought by people who have no use for 4wd and just want to look “cool”

          No but our city is notorious for having shit roads that barely last a year lol. I know what you’re talking about, just sharing my experience, we get plenty of those street suvs too
