My minereasonis to tow, And I got my large family. I got my boat,5 wheel trailer. Here the moutians hills cankill a gas engine towing with heavy weight.But I do want to offroad in it. But nothing to crazy just trails maybe some mud snow. deffitly not a rock crawler. I say why not get the best I can so I dont ever have to worry if towing in 2-3 ft of snow or something.
