Jeeps, man. If you’re looking for a comfortable, reliable, fuel efficient vehicle, you’d go elsewhere. But if you want the front windshield to fold down, and for it to perform better off-road than on-road, they got a box on wheels that’s perfect for you.

If people actually wanted that, Jeep wouldn’t keep making it more complicated and awkward to do with each new generation.

Yeah, you right haha. Ever since the JK I think it’s been theoretically possible, with effort, and you’ll have water ingress issues permanently.

At that point just get a normal car and a dedicated UTV for offroading

Neighbor got a jeep. I was shocked to learn it gets 17 miles per gallon. I get that it is an SUV, but there are SUVs with more utility that get better gas mileage.

They have some models that have ok-ish gas mileage for an SUV. Then there’s the Wrangler. It starts with abysmal gas mileage, and then you upgrade it, and every upgrade adds weight or reduces on road efficiency. It’s really an offroad motorsports vehicle that somehow happens to be road legal.
