Actually a two wheel drive Ford pickup could get you most of the places the jeep could go. The jeep had the advantage on very rocky roads but the Ford was a better “mudder”.

No way, no how. I put chains on my Jeep and it climbs trees in a foot of snow. My Ford pickup had trouble in 4 inches of snow.

Ford has no such "standards" for their trucks.
Unfortunately, other than the Wrangler, new Jeeps do not have to meet that same standard anymore (it was once a requirement to wear the Jeep badge)
Bottom line: there is no more capable vehicle than a Jeep Wrangler.

A two wheel drive PU will get you into the mud, but seldom out of it.

I tend to buy older ford 4x4's and patch them up to drive. Simple, cheap parts, tons of them still around. Wife hates it. I remind her what she pays in 3 months for her newer Rav 4, just paid for my pickup.
