I got my tundra stuck bad one day in the winter on the same road I live on after a warmup, and heavy rains. Truck sunk up to the rockers in a huge mud hole burying both axles after the frost came out of the ground. Lucky I was less than a mile from my home, and one of my neighbors were nearby. Was embarrassing to have a lifted 2500 dodge cummings 4wd pull me out, but it was worth buying them lunch. Been through there many times with this tacoma. I'm way more confident of its ability in 4wd....this truck is like a goat on the same terrain in 2wd vs that tundra in 4.
