A lot of it can be attributed to the vehicle weight and the size of the tires. That and many of the jeeps will continually go back and forth through a mud hole further tearing it up and digging it out. But in the end I think it's just the size of the vehicle and the weight. Huge difference between a set of 33+ truck tires and a set of 28" ATV tires even though the number do not seem that much different.
Oh and my wife reminded me of this one, you always see the jeeps and trucks heading out during or just after a heavy rain to hit the muddy spots.
