The later ones are less harsh, they are known as soft lockers, and have some steel bushes inside replaced with polyurethane.
I have never been to BC, but I have been to Eastern Canada, and it is a bit different to the UK. Over here, dirt roads, ice, and rocks are not that common. What is common is clay soils, and lots and lots of rain, which results is surfaces that are extremely greasy. So often you may not make progress even over a moderately sloping field, let alone Mount Everest.
We have a lot of mountains in BC, nothing quite like Everest, but plenty rough enough to prevent any semblance of road. Most driving is on gravel, loose rock and occasionally mud. In the central interior West we do have clay. Lots of snow in the winter pretty much puts an end to off road driving.
