Also, this is America. I hate being the murica guy but... Other countries have these windey roads that go around mountains because they're seen as obstacles or they just don't have mountain ranges to deal with. Here in America we see a mountain and we see it as a challenge. We build roads directly and straight through the most convenient straight line to the next city.
Now me as a Seattle person I look at the vehicle on the right and I see a great around the town LIGHT hauling truck that would be very useful within those confines.
If I want to go beyond that like say taking the family to Idaho/Silver Lake or even Sun Lakes I'm screwed. Going up the pass with that I'd be surprised if I broke 50mph with that, the speed limit is 70. Not sure where I'd put my family during that drive tbh but let's pretend they don't exist... Now I'm up in the pass while going 20 under the speed limit without dieing... What if there's snow? There's snow for half of the year. I'm straight up screwed in that car in the right.
