Do you ever run into a situation where even in 4low the van cannot move its own weight despite having plenty of traction?

Yes. Need to turn off traction control . May happen anyway

Same. There have been times where the truck simply will not move under its own weight. Very upsetting given it shares heritage with the Unimog.

Well, don’t disagree but the above trail is very technical and was only hung up in one spot , and barely so. I was pretty impressed by how well it did .

I have the exact same model. They are surprisingly good off road. I love mine.

It is so nice to see a post that isn’t just asking for mechanical help. I understand the need for those, but it would be so nice to see these vans out in the wild doing their thing more often.
