My partner and I went a lot of places with it, carried heavy pumps, tools, hoses, etc. We never got stuck in the mud in one place down a riverbank where we had to frequently service some pumps. There was limited suspension travel and ground clearance so this truck was not meant for off roading. It would have served nicely for grounds maintenance, golf courses, or light duty farm purposes.
