All they can do is a little more rugged outbacking than many of the "offroad" capable trucks in production today at many times the expense and cost. Still no comparison to a track driven vehicle. If these are your choice then get one as you are only getting older by the day!

That's kind of the point I was trying to make. Other than use in the deserts these things are almost useless in North America. We just don't have a lot of 4x4 type roads that these would fit on. I wasn't saying they are bad for what they are designed to do, it's just that I can do a lot more exploring in my current Class A with a could of quads on a trailer than these guys can do in only these rigs. If you took one of these big rigs into Sierras there is almost no place you'll be able to go that any other motorhome can't also get to.
