I feel like that’s more the nature of luxury-priced products than reflection of their actual capabilities.

Out of the box a Range Rover is a better off roader than a Jeep, more locking differentials, and more ground clearance, but simply the average buyer isn’t going to use it that way.

Putting both those vehicles to shame is the Mercedes G-wagon, but only once in my life have I ever seen one of those on the trails.

Realistically the best capabilities will come from the aftermarket, and that depends on how many people can afford to beat up that vehicle.
