>>2562027This debate is pointless because each person's needs, wants, and abilities are going to differ.
For many people a truck may be just fine for the type of offroading they do, or hell even awd pos s.u.v
others need to be able to navigate tight, rocky, steep inclines, and do real hardcore rock crawling, which require short wheelbase, good departure break over and approach angles, high clearance vehicle with locking diffs and 4 to 1 low. On technical trails like Johnson Valley, the vast majority of pick up trucks would get gaped. If all you're doing is mudding, then fine, drag a stock Tacoma through.
Then there are people who are better serviced by atv dirt bikes and dual sports as they will be riding very tight trail or single track.
Then there are people with pick up truck beds that are 4 feet; pathetically small, useless, then there's 8 foot beds you can sleep in, with camper installed you will be super comfy, lik a mini cabin. Then you have folks trailering, both on road and offroad trailers. the possibilities and terrain is endlessly varying and only you an decide what's best.
