I just don't see how a wagon would allow me to navigate these obstacles. Someone convince me!!!
As someone that drives on dirt/gravel/clay/rocky roads often, I can tell you that a wagon is sufficient for clearance. In fact, I can drive these roads faster than plenty of SUV's because my suspension isn't constantly bottoming out on dips. I've had to turn around on old logging roads by Tahoe not because I couldn't make it, but because the SUVs behind me couldn't due to bottoming out and scraping all over.
