Greetings!
I’ve got an old 2wd hightop Dodge van, and haven’t found anywhere I couldn’t go if I wanted to. With a good tow strap, you can use a drive wheel as a winch, plus I carry a come-along. If there’s nothing to tie to, a shovel and your spare tire can create a ground anchor. I’ve had to get myself out of trouble maybe once in every couple hundred times, and to be honest, I shouldn’t have been there anyway.
There’s plenty of great places near decent roads, and you have a lot less negative impact on the land and environment. Way too many people destroying our natural resources these days, and the best places don’t need any 4wd to get there. Many people hike, bike, or cycle to explore farther off the beaten path.
Cheers!
