Hey BTC... yeah..we had one like that here in Cincinnati last year. A woman in Kentucky had it for sale on Craigslist. I was thinking of buying it. The mechanic explained to me that it's hard on the axles and angle gear. They're made for the snow but, not the mud. ... Hot wheels!

They're designed as road cars with somewhat increased ground clearance so yeah they'll take a beating from it certainly.

A bit too small though. The usual setup here is three big ones in a row. Or a light bar more recently now that they're getting good enough.

Down on the continent only two if that is allowed.

What do you bet that any of them are aimed at where they're supposed to be pointed?

Also, OP - Define Dad Car for me.....something any self-respecting 20-something wouldn't be caught dead in?
