Interesting, I have wondered this. I have Big Bend, so don't have a rear-diff....but thought that Sport with traction control off was basically like a "Low Sand Mode"-a term I just made up. Sand is the only GOAT mode that turns off traction control automatically, which I am not sure helps with...

Cool, thanks for the update, I wish you could disable traction control easier, but it takes a few windows on the stupid screen. I was thinking sport might be useful in some off road situations so glad to hear it being used here.

Wow, thanks for sharing those pics and videos. So, did you keep it in normal for all the fun stuff or try sand? I hear two schools of thought on those for us with only the 2 GOATy (like that, stole it from you) modes.

"Final assessment - safe, comfortable (enough), reliable, efficient (ish). Capable of reasonably interesting off-road stuff, straight out of the box. I didn't even air down the tires at all. If anyone's worried about whether the 1.5 has the guts, it passes going uphill and keeps up with traffic...

Alright, this post looks a little old but I will try to revive it. I have the yakima aerobars with timberline system, I like it fine, take in on and take it off easily. What i also thought would be nice is a roof basket, but I don't like the height that they get, so I have been looking for...

So, the Dry Creek Road to the trailhead? I took a look at that online and everything I saw seems doable in my Big Bend, except for the opening obstacle. I was alone and am pretty new to offroading, so I didn't attempt it.

Just to be sure, turning off Traction Control does not turn off the smart AWD system? All 4 wheels are going to dig for you but it doesn't do the brake/reroute power to nonspinning wheels?

I have been wondering about that L switch. The owners manual is not super clear, I think it just drops you a gear from where you are, so from a stop you are in the lowest gear you got? Also.... if you switch off the traction control you will not have the problem of going nowhere if both rear...

I don't know how you can average those mpgs driving normally. That is crazy. But I will say that I got pretty great mileage on a trip through some mts going 55 or 65 on open roads...maybe up in that mid 30s range. But it went away once I got back to freeway and city driving....so I guess in the...

We are like twins. Except I don't average 30 mpgs or have a lift kit (which tires and kit did you go with)? I do have two cracks, but every car that I drive in Arizona gets rocks chips, it is what our roads are made out of. I do have an engine cover, but would not have cared if I didn't. What...

That makes the little thing nice and functional. I dig it. I will look into that too. I had always assumed that it was a thing the higher trims got.

Some don't support or work for Badlands, so double check on that.

Agree with that. No problems with my '21. I do check the coolant like they say and it does drop from time to time, I just add some and go along. The dealer says there is nothing wrong and it isn't on any recall lists as of now. I find it is plenty peppy, I drive through mountains at freeways...

So after a couple of thousand miles and a road trip in there here are my thoughts, and keep in mind I am just a regular person using these on my daily driver, I am not a seasoned off roader and I have only really had a few different cars. They are good-looking, pretty hefty tires. I think the...

Man, I love the white letters. I guess to each his/her own.

Just ordered them, 235s. Did a lot of research and looked at a lot of reviews and these looked good. I mostly went with them for the wear and durability rating and the fact that they are a bit lighter than the Falken wildpeaks, and the have a good snow rating. Good to see some other folks with...

So, just had to replace my battery too. I do miss the simpler times when I could just push start my little toyota. I didnt even think about how you might be locked in park if your battery dies. Thanks for the help and info abour resetting BMS everyone! And replacing it was a bit more challenging...

Yes, good points. it has been hard to find reviews on the BFG trail terrain.

I was thinking something similar, for the light weight the Rival provides. I almost want the Cat cover just to deter the criminally inclined from stealing it. I don't plan on serious rock crawling in a big bend so thinking I would like a minimal protection plan.

All true, this specific review did not factor in wear and durability. I agree with you for the most part, it is just one measure, doesn't mean everything. That being said it tracks with other reviews by tire rack.
