People who drive Escalades, Navigators, and Land Rovers are not very likely to drive them off road, they drive em to be seen. Now, when I go up to the country sometimes, I'll see my cousins drive up in their expensive SUVs down the dirt roads, or as one of them did, instead of driving the Navigator, they brought a 280SE W126 uo there, (I guess the MB can handle a little dirt better than the glorified Expedition with extra bells and whistles!), but I doubt they'll drive them through the shallow creeks and up the rocky red clay hills. Thats for the real trucks, GMCs and Chevys!
