Off-roading begins at 3:56.
Cue the "my Civic can do that" comments... Remember the camera doesn't do the big bumps, slopes, and other obstacles justice.
Car is a 2014 Toyota RAV4 XLE (XA40)
Momentum is key, that's all I have to say. I did try to tip the gas pedal at constant pressure just to see how the computer and grip work together. Not too bad. Didn't get to try all obstacles because the RAV4 doesn't have enough ground clearance or just didn't have enough grip altogether.
A little on Carnegie SVRA: Made a mistake coming here because I expected an unrestricted park for all types of vehicles. Turns out there is only a small area for 4X4s. If you're going there, keep this in mind. Not a total waste of $5, since it's a great starting point for basic off-roading. This course helped me prepare for more rigorous courses I have tackled just recently. This video was shot about a month ago.
