RE: 4x4 Advantage While Living in a Truck
I've gotten pretty far back on the forest roads and offroad with a Promaster City van with street tires and only 5" of clearance. That said, I've paid for it with two smashed oil pans, 10 tires in two years, ripping off the front bumper, and gotten horribly stuck a few times. Not smart. Crazy, actually. 4WD is better.
A couple months ago, I got a lift and K02 all-terrain tires. Now got 7" clearance. It's still not a 4WD, but it should solve most of my problems.
My next rig will probably be a 4WD of some kind, or maybe an AWD, like a Subaru Outback.
Sounds like most of the problem is clearance then, eh? Would an Outback have enough space in the back door sleeping and storage?
Oh, it'd work for me on a minimalist basis. http://www.cars101.com/subaru/outback/outback2018.html
