I'm with you, both trucks struggled a bit but made it to the top. Is this kind of driving an important use case though? I would think it would be more impressive to compare how these trucks handle towing trailers.

All trucks struggle to make it up that obstacle - the concrete is slick with sand and the lumps make it hard to get traction. There's plenty of videos of fully built Wranglers struggling more than the Cybertruck.

  > fully built Wranglers Some built up wranglers are not as impressive as they look. They can wade through a lake, but the suspension won't actually flex that much over rough terrain. Of course, some are absolutely mad rock crawlers.

Depends on where you're at. In my area while you're not going up this type of hill, terrain very similar to this is common when you're out in the sticks looking for a newborn calf to get it inside and out of the cold. Not everywhere a truck needs to do this stuff, but also not everywhere is it all just towing capabilities. Source: Live in rural Iowa on farms.

Depends on who you are. For towing, no. As a farm truck in steep terrain, the ability to get up and down rough tracks on steep slopes is absolutely part of the brief.

Hills aside, lots of rural roads are really bumpy. The Cybertruck looks so stiff that driving over them could actually be annoying.
