    Ayy, fellow 15k budget buyer! Except I was more into that I could lay down flat + my bike fits in the back with the wheels on. (2016)

    I forgot to note in my comment that my skid plate is an aftermarket one - 1/4" aluminum, not the stock plastic/fibery cover.

    Personally, it’s handled everything I’ve thrown at it well. Mud, sand, dirt, rocks within the limits of it’s dimensions, but I also have some light AT/trail tires on so those help too. I did say I liked the AWD system but it’s not user serviceable sadly and seems to be built and designed to fail eventually. (replaced AWD clutch earlier this year, cha-ching!) The big issue is obviously there isn’t much headroom for errors or tougher conditions.
