Can you Trail with Overdrive? TESTED!

I see this repeated over and over again: "You don't want to trail with overdrive".
The common reasons:
it will wear your tires faster
it will break your transmission gears due to the stress
it will overheat your motor
Is all of this really true? In this video, I go on a 2-mile trail walk with an Axial Base Camp - with 25% overdrive in it, all to specifically watch the truck and see what happens.
Do YOU trail with overdrive? If so, how much overdrive, and what have been your results? Let me know in the comments!
