I didn't get a PW for rock crawling, I didn't get it to go to Moab, I didn't get it to run the Rubicon, and I didn't get it to try and fit on 4 wheeler trails.
I got a PW because I explore. I realize what it is and is not capable of, and I know that other vehicles are more capable of heavy off-roading. What I do is pack me, my wife and two kids in the truck and start driving forest service roads till I'm above 7000 feet, and then camp. What I need this truck to do is carry my family and my gear up to hard to get fire lookouts, on overloading trips where we don't take any paved roads on a 7 day trip across the state, and up to hunting camp.
Here in Idaho on the IDBDR we have a spur road to a fire lookout off of the BDR that has a forest service sign that says "Road maintained for 4x4 vehicles only" and someone sharpies "Jeeps ONLY, no trucks" on the sign. Every time I take the PW up there I come across a side by side or a group of Jeeps that try to tell me I should back down because the road gets way worse. Or, the Jeeps will come over and ask me how I got the truck up to the fire lookout. Truthfully, it isn't even hard.
So the PW has limitations, for sure. I don't tow heavy things, I don't wheel in narrow, rocky creek beds for miles, I don't have a problem accepting the limits of the PW while still pushing those limits occasionally.
