not sure how to feel about this???
So, while doing some googling on offroading and stuff...I come across this web-blog site of this photographer who likes to travel to Death Valley. He always rents suvs/4x4 to drive there, but he's always had bad luck with flat tires.

He posted his problem on this blog and here is one of the responses:

Yeah me too, 1 minute.

My understanding on 4WD vs. AWD, is 4WD has a low-range while AWD does not, thus some do not consider an Escalade a real SUV, but a wagon. I don't see how a 4Runner is not a 4x4, it might not be as capable say to a Jeep Wrangler, but it's a 4x4 nonetheless. Ultimately, IMO capability is only part of the equation. Driver skill is equally important in choosing the right line. Someone without any off-roading experience can probably get a rock-crawler trail rig stuck and a skilled driver can probably conquer the same terrain in RAV4. My two cents.

It's one person's opinion...that's all.

You can post links to the blog if you want...this forum is an open forum.
