Hi All,

How does the Outlander do on unimproved
dirt roads with fishing holes at the end?
(They can get the hatchery truck down these
roads once a year or so. But, everybody
thinks they are crazy for even attempting it!)

Many thanks,
-T

As opposed to roads without fishing holes? <grin>

The Outlander should be considered a very capable "all-road" vehicle, not an
off-road vehicle.

The Outlander that won its class in the Paris-Dakar is only slightly similar
mechanically to the one you get from the dealer.

If the fishing road is so bad you'd have to be crazy, you run the risk of
getting stuck, despite 4WD. Consider getting two diagonal wheels in the air
on a hump. Without a rear LSD, or perhaps low range, you won't be going
anywhere except on foot.
