If you are the 1% that really do go off road with your truck, get a Jeep, Land Rover or one of the pickup truck-chassied rigs sold by Toyota or the big pickup manufacturers.
No I am not going to be taking it to a rocky mountain trail or cross a creek. Being an avid hiker, I am usually going to trailheads which are often on unmaintained foresr roads. I did not like the drive on Range Rover Velar which I was considering first. The drive and performance of X5 is just great.
