I am planning to try and go off the beaten track a little more this year but I was wondering, how far can I push it?
I have a AWD deiseal Territory and never really taken it off-roading. The most I have done is a couple of sand drives on kangaroo island (which i seen Camrys doing it), and small drives into a few state forests.
Has any one got the same car and what are the limits on the terrain you have pushed it to. Both on the beach and off-roading.
Just to be clear, I know its not a 4x4 and don't expect to do the same tracks as what they can do, but just want to know what my safe boundaries are

Re: AWD ford territory 'off-roading'
I took a territory into tallarook state forest on wet dual track and it was sketchy AF. Think it will depend on your tyres to a large degree. It’s a heavy beast and it got its slide on enough to be seriously sphincter puckering.
I used to do a fair bit of dirt bike riding in my yoof and throwing a bike up a trail and banging the crap out of it is fine - I have a mental block with doing the same with a car for some reason I’ve got an a outback AWD - it’s bashed around the back of the otways ok but again once if it gets wet it’s definitely down to the tyres you’re running. If it’s dry it should be comfortable on most state forest dual track.

Clearance is going to be your downfall.
