If I&#8217;d been in a Jeep Wrangler or a Land Rover, maybe this would not have been such a big deal. But when Rolls-Royce told me they were going to let me drive the new Cullinan, the brand&#8217;s first SUV, off-road, I figured I&#8217;d be taking it over a dirt road and maybe up and down a few little hills. I hadn&#8217;t imagined I would be threading my way up a zigzagging pass cut into the side of a Wyoming mountain. <\/div>\n<div class=\"zn-body__paragraph speakable\">The Cullinan was handling this terrain surprisingly well, especially considering it was riding on the same tires used to drive on paved streets.
