Large wheels should be better for off roading. A lot of the trucks that are bad at off roading is because they are rear wheel drive and all of their weight is up front so the rear tire just slip.

People deflate their tires sometimes before driving onto sandy beaches because it will increase the surface area and help them get stuck less supposedly. I honestly can't say if that helps much. Seems like a mild change, because you don't want to drive on the rims haha

yes, but the longer the vehicle, the smaller a bump has to be to bottom it out or high center it, because the wheel distance is longer. meaning the front wheels go down the other side of the bump sooner while the back wheels aren't even on it yet.

Look man, if my oil pan ain't grinding on the sea-ment it ain't low enough.

Sarcasm aside yeah length/width/center of gravity will all come into play eventually.

Stuff like ground clearance, fancy differentials and all wheel drive will go a long way. But at the end of the day, all things being equal, less weight spread over more surface contact will get you a lot further. There’s a reason the old Suzuki Jimny/samuri’s are so renowned despite literally being Kai cars.
