At least in my country, even though some 2WD vehicles could actually qualify as capable of off-highway operation, only their 4WD counterparts (if available) are classified as such. If a 4WD other than an actual truck doesn't resort to a dual-range transfer case, its certification as an "utility vehicle" also depends on the availability of a crawler 1st gear.
