> 70%+ of them will never see a day of off-road

I remember laughing my head off when Lexus announced they were making a "Luxury SUV". I'm on my second one and it rarely even experiences a gravel road.

As someone who likes 4WDing we appreciate people buying these. A ~10 year old nicely devalued and non-abused SUV is a perfect car for those that want to actually 4WD.

Taking a new and expensive 4WD down a narrow track with branches scraping stripes down the side would be too stressful for most.
