2021 Adventure Overlander F550 4x4 "Expedition" vehicle

My main hesitation for these more RV centric rigs. That big butt is a problem on anything other than forest roads.
Having owned f series big RVs on military tires for almost 15 years, including same as above.I can say the departure angle is definitely not the limiting factor. You got to remember these things are on 40 plus inch tires. Limiting factor is just the overall size in general. Never have come close to even dragging the rear in any situation. What I can say is that I can comfortably sleep a family of four, and even a couple of friends. Anywhere we go regardless of how much snow there is ETC. The setup isn't for Wheeling. But you can definitely get more places anything else this size can.

Tell that to any county road in Utah/AZ/Nevada after a single heavy rainstorm. Not uncommon for a 3-5 foot canyon to cut across the road until springtime road re-grading. Bridge ladders can help.

Can you elaborate? Thanks!
The frame can't handle weight loads and often is at the limit or worse. The frame cannot twist enough to keep all four wheels on the ground when driving over roads with erosion and especially up hill.

Vans are bad too!

Even though jeeps have less weight capacity the wheelbase is much smaller. That's why you see a lot of guys with trailers.

I prefer social distancing.

Funniest thing I’ve heard this week.
