A normal car / van could do most, but not all places. Especially not after it rains or snows.
Same here

I bought ours with the intention of pulling out a two ton boat up a wet and green algae covered steep slipway, and to have enough ground clearance to "float my boat" without water getting into places it shouldn't.

I needed the low box to save taking out the clutch.


Now, as it happens, I only ever used two wheel drive (high) first gear, in all cases, but then I did choose my slipways carefully.

Pebbles are one of the worst surfaces to launch or recover a boat from, have seen a few green ovals stuck, many years ago, before Nissan brand was established.
Pebbles act like roller bearings, and fly everywhere with the first loss of traction.

Yes, at the moment I can......the T2 lugs around a prodigeous volume of forestry kit, and goes through tracks easily. ......I had a great VW Transporter once, a great car (van), but useless even on dry grass, let alone anything wetter !!!!! Quite a number of various green oval machines, through the years, until the last Disco became a liability.

So until I decide to retire to a non forest/woodland existence, it has to be 4x4, and my trusty T2..........

I needed something that could carry seven people and a large dog whilst pulling a 26' caravan, in luxury where ever we wanted to go. So we went for the best a Nissan PATROL.
We've done 12,500 miles just on holidays this year and the majority pulling the caravan the rest driving in/to the Arctic .
I think that's justification.
TROL POWER.
