Hello Jeff & thanks for your message!
I dont intend on doing any off-roading other than some sand/beach driving in the south & dirt roads/snow when heading up north. Just recently moved to FL & wanted something better for having to veer off the road into ditches & not worry abt getting stuck when I have to jump out of the way of all the old folks that head the wrong way right at me!
Part of the reason for the purchase was that she can handle day to day as well as handle more difficult situations if needed. I understand my mileage will suffer as a result of the added weight but losing 3-5 mpg is worth it to me for protection & peace of mind.
Fondly,
Johnna
