I strongly disagree on this one. It may be able to climb over obstacles as
high as a 4X4, but it doesn't have the traction to get up steep slopes or
through mud/snow. There have been many cases where I have had my 4X4 in 2WD
and tried to go up a hill covered in snow. The back end just slides around
and spins, you get nowhere fast. When I throw it into 4WD, I climb it
without a problem.
