[@james2042]

Doing this in 4 high was a disservice to both, you're in mud, this is why they have 4 low, use it. The systems aren't needed in 4 high because 4 high is for high speed offroading where precision control and super low end torque isn't needed, like actual well defined dirt trails and snow if it's bad enough. I'd rather my vehicle have to be in second gear in 4 low than first in 4 high to get the speed I want

[@michaelm9871]

Yeah... Them not switching into 4 low at any point didn't make a lot of sense. The biggest factor here was the driver.

[@chrisguapo69]

I'd have to add that most Multi-terrain functions only work in 4Lo. I think only mud/sand features work in 4Hi. Also, ATRAC using brake pressure to control wheelspin and transfer power to the wheels with traction, MTS uses a combination of brake pressure and power regulation so that's why you had a slight loss in power. On an incline you should have just used ATRAC on 4Lo and if that doesn't work power-on the rear locker (which you can only do in 4Lo). MTS selection is best on relatively level ground when you're not in an incline and a dead stop.

MTS is a terrain specific application of the A-TRAC system. Mud, Sand, Dirt is the only MTS mode available in high range; it allows more wheel spin than the other modes. You can’t lock the diff in high either. Why not put it in 4 low and take advantage of the vehicles off-road tools?

[@andyham6094]

Cause he’s a jeep fanboy. Always tries to make toyotas look bad just like tfl used to do before everybody called them out on it in the comments and now they pretend like they love toyotas just for the views. Why not use the mts atrac rear locker and OF COURSE 4LO!!! Why even review a trd pro if you aren’t going to use its features. Might as well reviewed an sr5. So many reviewers don’t do vehicles justice by using its certain special features in off road comparisons and tests.

[@PeakDecline]

This is a serious limitation of Toyota's setup. Needing to use 4 low to lock your rear? WHY? A-TRAC will never be a substitute for a real locker either no matter the situation. It's also a total joke what Toyota thinks is appropriate tires for their top off-road spec. I'm really, really hoping none of this nonsense translates to the new Tundra. That'll be a serious disappointment. But I still can't believe you can't even get a rear locker in a Tundra. Let alone a rear + front as every serious off-road vehicle should have as standard equipment.

@Truck King, in the Jeep coming back down the hill & through the mud, you mentioned you might have gotten hung up on a log but I didn't see a log. Did you hear the thump or feel it or do you think the Select Speed in 4lo enabled the locked rear diff? If not, then that could be why the Jeep "paused" on you as only one rear tire was pushing. Also, if it was locked, then perhaps the higher speed or RPM of the locked rear diff coming down that hill cut out to protect itself thus pausing your progress. Either way, the Jeep made it look easier but that was most likely due to the difference in tires. Thanks for doing this awesome content!

Its simple, really. If all you do is off-road and you want the most capable stock vehicle for such activities, go Jeep. If you're buying a daily driver that occasionally goes off road, go Toyota. I would hands down go Toyota but no way I'd be caught dead in that color. Save the money and buy TRD Off-Road, put your own 2" lift and tires, and get a good color.

[@RagingBad]

Just don't buy a Jeep period if you want to come back from the trails

Im pretty sure hybrid with a gas engine generator is the future for overland/off road. I think they also need to make plugging solar to the roof easy and they are gold.

Good video guys!!!

Glad you enjoyed it

[@ScottyBennitone]

I think where the jeep really shines is the 500-750 mile range before fill ups . Thats huge.

[@davidcarrico3385]

True, but that is only if you can charge multiple times during that tank. For full tank single charge, it’s more like 360 to 400 (Jeep rates it at 400). Just stating that for those that might mis-interpret your post and think they could get 500-750 on a tank during an overlanding trip. They will not. For normal driving it’s great though, and I did get 520 miles on my last tank!

You don't use Lockers in 4 high. That's why they're lockers. You use them in four low. They're not designed to go through things quickly. They're designed for crawling and slow speeds.

The Jeep can lock its diff in 4 hi lol

[@kennethm6931]

[@photobuzz]

At around 2:35, you say the 4Runner is in 4 hi, in MTS (sand) mud and the rear diff locked. I have a 2018 4runner TRD Off Road Premium and the owner's manual states that you can only lock the rear diff in low range. Is this correct?

[@thomasnorton1998]

Those NIttos are pretty much like highway slicks. K02s on both to truly compare the off-road capability

[@Big88Country]

These tests are all about the tires! If the tires don't grab, you get stuck! Wheels spinning and holding the mud never works. Get some good mudders, and that 4runner will go wherever ya want it to! From this, I'm staying away from the Nittos! On the Rubi E, it's all good until a battery goes bad! Also, I'll stick with the old gas jeep with the open headers, love that music!! Enjoyed it though!

[@johnkaper1129]

Great video, easy to see that you liked KO2s on the Jeep. Have you ever driven on the Falken Wildpeak AT3/W and if so how do you like them as compared to the KO2s? Tks

[@TruckKing]

We have - they are similar

[@kevinblock2307]

That looked like fun! Except for poor dad with the bugs 😀

[@cj8489]

The main difference is that 4Runner will still be off roading in 20 years while that Jeep will last 3-5 years before the overly complicated powertrain is dead. I’ll take the quality and reliability of the 4Runner any day.

[@johnnymendoza383]

Dude said that the jeep got caught up with a log😂 nothing was there

[@nathanm6143]

Both are great off-road vehicles, but they are geared towards different terrains and speeds. Jeeps are developed more for rock-crawling mountainous terrain, while the suspension on the Toyota allows for smoother high-speed off-roading for, say, the dessert. If you are into rock-crawling, nothing beats the Rubicon, though

I have to disagree when it comes to the toyota and desert running, because in my experience they do terrible in sand and jeep just in all categories does better. toyota is at least reliable but it lacks all the performance a jeep provides

@@rossgreenzweig Yeah. That straight six is great engine, a simple and basic engine that one can easily work on.

[@picodoc8001]

@@rossgreenzweig I have thought about trying to save it and just break down and spend several thousands to replace, repair, and repaint her underbelly. It is an 05 Rubicon. I used to live in the DC metro area, they used salt as their primary snow removal method. It was my fault for not keeping it rinsed enough. You don't see a lot of TJs on the road. I may be incorrect, but I think the popularity of the Jeep really came about with the JKs. I see a lot of those and JLs on the road. Not sure how long you have had yours, but enjoy your Jeep. Other than a couple years, I have driven Jeeps since 1997 and have had a lot of fun in them.

[@John-yf4ie]

I had a choice between the 2021 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon fully loaded and the 2021 Jeep Gladiator Rubicon fully loaded. I really liked the Wrangler but when I found out it had a E torque with the Rubber Band generator and the mile long coolant line with a 48 Volts battery , I decided on the Jeep Gladiator. I drove down to my Jeep dealership two weeks later to pickup my free gifts for buying my Gladiator and the Sales Manager said you should be glad you purchased the Gladiator as both 2021 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon are in the shop to replace the E torque in one and th other had a coolant leak in the long hose. Both items are on National Back Order. That could take a month or more!!! The Gladiator is the first pickup I've ever owned and for what it's worth I really enjoy having a bed in the back to fill with lumber, garden supplies and paver stones. Not sure if I heard or read that the Wrangler 3.6 litre is now sold with the regular 3.6 not the E torque! John

You can lock the jeep in the rear in 4H. Traction control off until it beeps and push the button for rear locker
