Limited or Platinum any good on off road trails?

[4RunnerJay]

Hello Everyone,

Would a Limited or Platinum with 18in wheels and better tires be ok on some green or blue off road trails?

I like the addition of All Wheel drive, but I know it will loose the locker compared to the ORP or Trailhunter.

I’m guessing it will be fine, but

There’s a video on YouTube that compared the regular 4wd to the full time and as far as I remember the full time performed worse in off road conditions

It's always a question of how difficult is the trail vs your vehicle's capability, but I think you're looking in the right range. I've been on a bunch of trails that could've been done in a front wheel drive sedan. Even more that could've been done in a Subaru or an AWD crossover.

As long as you're careful about the difficulty of trail you're on, and not out there doing all the superhero stuff (use the bypasses, skip the obstacles) you'll probably be ok. Be very careful in sand though.

Thank you! I’m sure it’s more capable than some AWD SUVs I’ve seen on some trails.
