Not disputing this claim, but I am curious. In the mid-90s to the mid 2000s when I'd offroad, the vehicle of choice was 80s Toyota pick-up trucks because of their ruggedness of course, but also the light weight four-cylinder. You don't need a ton of power for off roading because you always have the option of low gear. The joke with Chevs was they'd find the bottom of any mud pit because of their weight - they're
like a rock harhar. But yeah, nobody offroaded with full-size V8 trucks and I gotta think that's still the case.
