My highlander v6 2wd was packed with 7 people and some baggage. We went off roading in this muddy area for the heck of it.

Well i should have known it was a bad idea before going into it but once it was in i was just crapping myself...

anyways i turned off trac control and behold the godly wheelspin...
we were kind of stuck. Then i decided to turn trac back on.

Amazingly with it on, i simply floored it and the computer did the rest. We barely got out.

The hihy may eventually incorperate some sort of mode selector where you can choose gas only. the 4wd HL doesnt have the capability to disable trac control, but even in slick conditions it will attempt to move, unlike the hihy that just sits there...
Its a waiting game to see what toyota wants to do with this camry on stilts.
