You can overland in a Prius or Fit

I always have people ask me in our group if their vehicle is capable enough or if they have the right mods or gear to overland. Honestly if you research your route and are prepared a lot of trails can be done in 2wd. Now there are routes that cannot be done, but don’t let it stop you from exploring the other areas you can. I’ve seen 2wd vehicles participate in sections of the WABDR.

This ⬆️ It has taken me many years (financially) to build my Jeep up to be very capable. I prefer to look for more difficult trails to play on. But certainly not 100% of the time. When I am out overlanding only, and not purposely headed for the rock crawling trails, the use of 4-wheel drive isn’t necessary for the vast majority of the trails. I will say however, a decent amount of clearance can be very important. Just pay attention to your situation and you can have a lot of fun and enjoy some beautiful scenery.

Yes, in my opinion this would be ideal. I would love to have one rig dedicated to rock crawling type of activities and then another built for overlanding. Unfortunately, I can’t afford that kind of expense. If I built an overlanding only rig I guarantee you that it would be something a lot more comfortable than the Jeep I drive! 😂

This wasn’t a bad analogy, it’s just an additional perspective. Many things can be true at one time
