Did you watch top gear?

The issues with the modern stuff is that the off roading is all done by the elecronics. But as Rive said the tyre choice and wheel size make a hell of a difference. Then the right tyre choice for the terrain such as mud.

Nope, I would rather have root canal work done than watch Top Gear. I spend most of winter driving around farms, often with heavily tractor rutted tracks. Sure, tyres and wheels help, but ground clearance is often the biggest issue.

Articulation?

Having owned a few proper off roaders, I found that changing tyres to road bias tyres reduced vehicle noise and lost off road grip on slippy stuff.
