Cybertruck struggling on a dirt road

[detansinn]

Article calls this "off-roading", but in my world, a dirt road is very much a road.

It always amazes me when I see a Youtube "Off-Road" review and it is just well worn paths with a rock here or there. Then they approach any obstacle in the most ridiculous way possible to give some drama. Maybe it is useful to someone but not to me. I want to know if the vehicle can drive across a rutted out muddy field to get to a spot I need to get to or if I can cut across a ditch when a tree falls across the road not how well it is going to do riding around the trails at the national forest.

That hill is tougher than it looks. Check the video linked in the twitter lnk of the Rivian on that same hill shot from the side. Gives better appreciation of how tough it is. Slippery sand on smoothly-worn rock with enough articulation to challenge most suspensions. Probably impassible with open diffs.
Wonder how the stock F150 Lightning does on that section? Might not have enough clearance.

This guy posted some pics of his F150 Lightning at that same park. Wonder if he has any video on that same hill:

That hill is a non-event in an F150. Not worth even recording.
