It reminds me of my old Citroen BX, what a slab of unworthiness that thing was.

I really have to wonder how the Steinwinter was supposed to be pratical, with such dreadful clearance?

A case of whimsical design, perhaps.

You might be surprised how low the clearance is on some over-the-road trailers. Especially the long ones for hauling heavy equipment, their breakover angles are atrocious. Most roads are navigable regardless, and they know how to pick routes that avoid impassible ones. Low as it is, this truck's clearance probably isn't as limiting as you might think.
