That is right. I do not want to overland in this thing. And please stop calling it a cockpit and trying to force the perception of vehicle operation to resemble that of aircraft operation. NO THANKS. Maybe you should become a pilot instead and leave overlanding to those who understand it. Sorry, I got a little hot here. I hate these vehicles. Plasticky, very little utility, and the thing has a shorter cargo area than my CRV. All the electronic doodads on there. Some people just don't get it, the spirit of overlanding in simple vehicles. What are you going to do, pull a maintenance trailer behind you?
