"MILD" - Primarily on-road duty with some fire trails, backroads, and the like. Possibly sees use as a work truck during the week (which, as we all know, are more heavily abused than typical pax vehicle.) Little to no risk of critical driveline component breakage.

"MEDIUM" - Still primarily on-road, but the off-road use would involve blazing trails, rather than following them. Fording up to the top of the wheelhouse, maybe crawling over some heavy obstacles. Light mud/sand work. Moderate potential for breakage of critical components.

"HARDCORE" - Trailer queen ("This is my daily driver. If I roll it, I'm screwed!") Technical crawling offroad, trails are only "trails" because that's the line everyone follows. Lots of torsional drivetrain load from make/break contact and tyre friction grip/release/grip. Fording water to or above the beltline (bottom of the windows.) You clean your rig inside and out with a hose. High potential for breaking things.

"EXTREME" - You break something important with every outing. You roll the vehicle over about one time in three - and it doesn't bother you. You carry more spare parts than you have parts in use, and you go through most of them. You've probably stitched up tyre sidewalls on the trail, and carry more tools and supplies in your rig than most people have in their garage
