You make a good point about the SUV. I’ve seen many Subaru Foresters, Nissan X-Trails and the like in areas that, whilst dry, are completely fine but can be impassable if a shower of rain comes down. They have their place of course, their uses, however they can get a person into trouble as you found out...Not that you had trouble per se but you could have. I’ve pulled many vehicles out of areas they had no right being in (provided they had their own recovery gear.)

I think it comes down to common sense although the manufacturers don’t help as they pitch their vehicles as more capable than they actually are on their commercials.
