I picked up my 2021 Glad Rubi back in February and hadn’t done much but put on 11k around the city until last weekend when my wife and I were finally able to take off and get out of the city (Calgary) to enjoy a bit of 4 wheel’n west of Sundry. We went into the public Crown land use area. It was wet and MUDDY and the truck really showed us what it was capable of doing as we put it through the paces with front and rear lockers. I’m not running dedicated mud tires but am using the 34 1/4” KO2 A/T’s.
We went everywhere including ATV trails and got to see how the sway bar release worked and how the 4H and L worked with front and rear lockers and was also able to run rear locker in 4H by first holding down the traction control button for 10 seconds before engaging the rear locker. The truck is amazing in the mud, what an experience. This mud was the stickiest poo I’ve ever been in!
I planned for the worse by taking all my recovery gear, chain saw and floor jack and only needed the chain saw down one of the ATV trails. We definitely see the need to have a dedicated set of mud tires for weekend runs like this.
