> or also on rural third world country roads?

I drove 40,000 miles from Alaska to Argentina and 54,000 miles around Africa [1].

From experience, I can tell you the vast majority of vehicles sold in the developed world wouldn't last a couple of months on 'rural third world country roads'. The potholes, corrugations, mud, dust and everything else are intense.

For eg, this is how I crossed the Democratic Republic of Congo - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OV8V3GdOcPU
