No.

First off, I don't own a vehicle that large, and probably never would. I prefer to drive smaller vehicles. If I were to buy an off-road-capable vehicle, I'd get a four-cylinder Toyota or a Suzuki. That's just me, though.

Secondly, people are free to buy whatever vehicle they like and customize it as they choose (within the law, of course). Additionally, the large trucks I drove were show or tow vehicles, but were actually used off road and for vehicle recovery. These weren't pavement or carpet queens—they were workers.
