April 4, 200719 yr #1 Hey all I hadn't seen this mentioned or discussed anywhere else, I was wondering how the terri goes on like rough dirt roads. like is it a wepon on the rally track? seeing that it has no "real" 4x4 equip like the cruisers and patrols im doubtful that its no hill clib macine. On a dirt road it would have to kill most other cars wouldnt it? having a bit extra ground clearence an a fair wack of power?
April 4, 200719 yr #2 They go quite well Definately not a "real" 4x4, but pretty good ride quality and better grip than a 2x4.
April 4, 200719 yr #4 I would not say they go well.They have no real ground clearenceThey do not have LSD or diff locks, so any wheel can freewheelThey get bogged in soft sand They are a SOFT roader and should not really be taken off road. A few people I know have had them on the beach and if you are careful on the soft stuff its ok.
April 4, 200719 yr #5 There fine on dirt roads/tracks but you probably wouldn't want to go much further than that off road in one.
April 4, 200719 yr #6 I have had my awd terri on the beach and it went every where we asked it soft stuff and hard stuff.The biggest thing to remember with sand is that you need to let the tyres down to about 18 psi.You should do this in all 4wd's on the beach.I have also done a lot of driving though rough tracks and tracks that are 4wd tracks only and it goes great.Yes ground clearance is low but it is surprising what they will go over and not hit.The thing to rember on sand is to turn the dcs off.Ian
April 4, 200719 yr #7 ....but then he's talking about dirt roads anyway, and not beach driving. But on the bagging the tyres bit, surprising how many people overlook such a simple concept. Always good entertainment watching it though.
April 10, 200719 yr #8 Author ah cool! sounds like their not to bad. on another note just saw a bright blue one with big chromies drive by when I was at lunch and it looked hot as!
April 12, 200719 yr #9 The TT is an absolute hoot in the dirt, if you totally disable the DSC and drive it in manual mode and keep it on the pipe than it’s the most fun you will have in a car with your pants done up! They are totally flickable in corners at speeds that will scare the bejeezus out of your passengers. It takes a while to work out what its gunna do exactly but once you master it you will go looking for high speed dirt roads at every chance you get.
April 13, 200719 yr #10 .....it’s the most fun.......scare the bejeezus out of your passengers.....Love the way you're thinking; apparently I do that to my passengers
