AKA a large SUV or truck is not necessary.

For normal people AWD and high ground clearance will work. Good range also strongly recommended but these vehicles usually have that by default.

A large 4WD will handle conditions a Subaru will not but a Subaru is fine for getting around the area if you typically stay off most ranch/mining roads. It is illegal to maintain the ranch/mining roads for historical reasons, so they get a bit spicy.
