OP just make sure you have decent and actual A/T tires before this or he might actually have a level playing field. Tires are everything.
And make sure there is an actual difficult obstacle or two to separate the trucks from the grocery getters on the trail.
And make sure you have off-roading experience since drivers with experience can go way further than those without. Case in point, seeing people crawl their Subaru’s up some pretty moderately difficult trails here in Colorado because the driver understands how to place tires.

Put my sierra in 4hi, went around the 4runner w/o breaking a sweat and pulled the 4runner out from its spot.
Last winter my neighbor got stuck with his van on our street. Tried to pull him out with the 4runner because it was the first car in my driveway, could not budge his van, got my GMC , first shot it pulled him out.
now i cant say how they compare off roading but in the real world and real usage my GMC outdoes the 4runner.

Are the tires the same on both? It’s not apples to apples unless they’re similar enough and I’m guessing that might be the big difference here.

Just my .02, but I'm in love with my Cooper ST MAXX tires. A group of us went out to big Bear in December, 2 had BFG KO2, one had falken wildpeak, and my brand new Coopers. In mud and snow, steady throttle was no problem at all. And the price was nicer than the other options at the time

So they're going to compare offroad capabilities with low profile Michelin Defenders?

If you actually compete and you win, you did it with a vehicle that’s 13 years OLDER. Hahaha!

Challenge him! His idea of 4-wheelin is most likely an inch of snow on dirt county road. Would also chicken out because he may put a scratch in fender.
