Apparently Expeditions suck offroad...

Having had 2 Wranglers, 2 Tacomas, 1 4runner and 1 sequoia. The sequoia and this expy would be the worst as the trail got more difficult. Simply from a ground clearance, break over and entry angle standpoint as well as width of the vehicle and weight plus "stock" setup, the large SUVs are not great at "difficult" off roading without modification. They aren't meant to be. It's an apple to oranges comparison.

Why not take the same vehicles and compare towing large trailers or boats? It would be the same kind of unfair comparison in reverse.

Dead On! As I said earlier, there is more than one type of off-roading. The Expedition and vehicles like it are excellent at simply ignoring roads to get where you want to go with what you want to take there - over a half ton of payload, family, and whatever's in the trailer. If you encounter the kind of terrain that requires a purpose built 4x4, go around. You will get there, with all your stuff. and home again. There's a reason they are used as a support vehicle. they get to the same destination. with the tools and spare parts the toys needed to complete the trip.
