Re: Off Road? Limitations concerns?
True, they drive awesome on snow and ice covered roads. But that is different than driving through fairly deep mud. Lets assume that the Hybrid parts will be fine and not get damaged (the probably wouldn't). The rear electric motor only puts 67 hp to the rear wheels. Then take into consideration that Trac/VSC are terrible for Mud or Sand (that why the FJ can turn them off), and take it a step further than that because the Hybrid has VDIM which is all the saftey nanny's working together and on steroids. I am not dissing VDIM because it is awsome for what it is and works great on slippery roads even pretty awesome on roads with pretty deep snow on them. I am saying it will most likely get you stuck.
