I dunno, it probably isn't too much wider than my Ram, and since
I've got a long bed, his wheelbase is probably better too. As
long as I've got my "suicide knob" on the steering wheel, I can
keep up a pretty good clip, even in the tight spots. My favorite
area for that is on the way to mud lane, above the target area
just as you enter the woods, there's a little "tree slalom" you
need to do. I enjoy zipping through there, probably feels faster
than it actually is when you're missing the trees by only inches. :-)
There was a guy with a Hummer who was thinking of coming up
with the SCORE group a year or two ago (a real Hummer, not
the H2). I had mentioned the trail width thing to him and
he wasn't too concerned, said he went offroading with the
jeeps all the time and if the trail isn't wide enough he just
made his own. ;-) (I'm not sure I'd want a much wider
vehicle on certain parts though - like slippery hill.)

What, just because of stuff like this?
