Like a prairie with lower ground clearance that you left in 2wd and high range.

Like said b/4, it sits low, is 2wd, and has a lot of power. Tires will spin up really quick and it will get sucked down and the chassis will bottom out and you will have to pull it out. That's in deep mud. Really slick thin mud w/ a hard bottom and you will spin until your heart's content. You won't be able to steer in and out of ruts b/c your steering wheels aren't pulling so if you get off track there's no coming back. No need to even talk about the problems you will get into if you go in deep water.

If the mud is only boot deep it's alright but any more than that and it sinks like a 540 pound rock, usually in the middle. If I'm not 100 percent that I can wheelie/skim through at least half of it, I'll work at going around rather than through.

I've gone through creek crossings that have been up over the CVT case, and had no problems. Haven't really wanted to try deeper than that.
