My mother-in-law is one of these. She drives a 4WD jeep, which has never willingly been off of the pavement. They were doing some construction outside of her neighborhood, and the turn into her street was filled with gravel for a few months while the concrete was torn up. She would slowly crawl over the gravel section at like half a mile an hour, because she was afraid of breaking something on her jeep. Even I went faster than she did, and I drive a midsize sedan.
My wife and I joked that she could have hopped the curb and driven across the adjacent field, and still made it to the main road faster than if she had creeped across the gravel.
Jeeps are perfectly fine vehicles… Until they’re not. It’s like they have a built-in killswitch from the factory, where every single dashboard warning light is designed to turn on in the same three or four days.
Mixing ride height to that extent is something no one that knows what they’re doing would do…
So they’ll probably sell a lot to the idiots buying lifted trucks who just want to be able to say they could tow something but still never will.
Most likely the case, a lot like the lifted 4 wheel drive jeeps that only ever see parking lots. They could go off-road, but likely never will

Legit fear. Jeeps are dog shit.

In the early 2000s Jeep Australia had a policy of voiding warranty’s if the vehicle had 4WD engaged at any time.
