Really - and this is probably how 90+% of how 4WD vehicles are driven..........
Here's a funny thing and I wish I could look up some stats.
We go to the big island HI a couple weeks ago (I have some good stories). We stayed with locals, more or less away from any town. It was great.
My point is when we arrived at Kona day 1 walked down the hill together to eat breaky at a nice place. I was absolutely floored at the amount of traffic and the amount of Tacoma trucks. Gen 3 like mine. Probably every 3rd truck. I am not kidding. BUT there were also tons and tons of AWD and 4WD vehicles. Now wait a minute. Why??? Perfect weather. Paved streets. Etc.......
That day we drove over the saddle to Hilo side (highly recommended, 3rd time I've done this). From Hilo drive south.....then first place one uncle, lives on dirt road ways back..........then we go to lava caves, this road was NASTY. I wanted my truck not a Corolla SE!! Everyone had trucks there...........then we move upslope..............yikes. I want my truck!!! hahahahahahaha
It was great.
