We have a 6 seater and we load it up with my wife and i, 4 kids and some gear and have had zero problems riding off road, up mountains and trails. We put 27” tires on which made a big difference in the ride clearance. We recently bought ours, it’s a 2016, and so far im very impressed. I’ve barely had to even put it in 4 wheel drive to get up hills, some pretty steep.
