    Flat places still have sand, dirt, rocks, mud, and snow.

      In WWII the Willie’s jeep was basically unstoppable and it is about 1/4 the size of the monster trucks that Americans need to drive to get KFC

        Its kinda sad that thr jeep cherokee sport was kinda the perfect size for what it did and was the size of a nisaan cube. Now compare a 2001 jeep cherokee sport to a fucking rubicon. Seriously why the hell are modern vehicles so fucking large compared to the first SUVs even.

          The old Cherokee was small, but I think calling it the same size as a Nissan Cube is a stretch squish.

            Given the fact I parked next to one the other day, theyre about the same size. The Cube is a bit taller and the Cherokee is somewhat longer. Though most of the added length is due to the Engine compartment.

              Well, TIL.

              Still, I think the extra length of the Cherokee “counts” more than the extra height of the Cube, especially since a Cherokee actually intended to be used off-road (with 4x4, bigger tires, etc.) would be taller.

        I know, my car is a Subaru Crosstrek which is basically a lifted AWD hatchback. It comfortably holds 4 adults and bikes, kayaks, cargo basket with whatever thanks to a hitch and roof rack. Similar ground clearance to much larger vehicles.
