I know it might not be the greatest benchmark for efficiency, but just look at those folks who buy a Chelsea tractor for self-indulgence, yet could never go as far off-roading than your classic Land Rover can go. Not to mention if you ever need some reproduction of a replacement part out of catalog, or eventually get a reconditioned one, most likely it will also have a lower COČ footprint than the so many sensors fitted to a modern SUV (or even compact cars).
