2 completely different vehicles for different purposes.
That's an interesting perspective since some of the best offroading vehicles on (and off) the planet have IRS such as the military's Humvee HUMVEE. Also, the Land Rover, Range Rover, MB GL have been upgraded to IRS along with almost every off-road racer. I think those tied to live axles are living in the past with the nostalgic view of vehicles like the LC and the 50+ yr old tech of solid rear axles.

Heck...the lunar rover had IRS and you can't get further "off-road" than the moon
