I routinely take my $60k crew cab, dually, top-trim comfy pickup off
road, and not just off road, but even through heavy brush to get what I
need to do done. Yet I'm quite sure if someone of your ilk saw me in
that truck on my 6 mile round trip grocery run, you would be leaping to
idiotic conclusions that I was trying to make a statement, compensating
for something, etc. Here is a suggestion for you - worry about what
*you* are driving and whether it fits your needs, don't try to judge the
needs of people you don't know.
