Yes, in NH you probable don't need it other than to not push so much snow around occasionally. I've driven a few thousand miles in NH all with vehicles with less than 6 inches ground clearance and I was totally fine. Now I've driven tens of thousands of miles in Wyoming, Nevada, Utah, Arizona and NM where a vehicle with 6 inches of ground clearance would absolutely not work. I''ve driven a few hundred thousand miles in those states combined. NH is pretty soft compared to places I frequent in the intermountain west. In southern Utah in the winter I frequently drive 50-70 miles on dirt roads and mild off road at a time. In Wyoming in the Summer, I'll drive 100-150 miles on dirt roads with occasional really rough conditions at a time.
If I didn't need the extra ground clearance I'd be getting a BMW iX3. No way in the world would I get a Subaru Trailseeker let alone a Rivian R2. My ego isn't that fragile.
