    Plotting out a Moab trip in my new Trailhawk. Hoping to get KO2 tires before the trip. Really would like to dive into White Rim Trail for two days. Anyone ever been in a renegade? or not? trouble parts? Also Bull Canyon under Gemini Bridges.
    Post pics if you got em!

    You'll be fine running it. Real pretty trail but really hot out there this time of year.

    So long as you're driving conservatively, I would imagine more than that. Maybe 16-18 MPG? It really just depends especially if you're loaded up.

    Hard to say. I have tested my Renegade out in the dunes on a triple digit day and it got pretty hot although, it didn't overheat. Granted, I was doing a lot of high RPM driving and you wouldn't need to do that on this trail.

    We did the white rim trail in reverse so she could take pics on the good side. Rock mode was clutch. Bull canyon was a separate trip and was tough because sand and ledges. Full load and tires aired down to 30. I leveled up on off roading this trip. Murphys area was intense backwards. Any questions about renegade making trail id love to share. My ko2 tires were amazing also.

    I've off-roaded with a few THs that run KO2s and they air down to 22-25. I believe they've gone lower, but 30 isn't too low. I never aired down on my ATSs and was able to follow them w/o issues.

    This is a trip id love to make happen some day, this and The Rubicon.

    Did they have full loads and 17s? Im scared to go lower almost. But its good to know incan go lower. And rubicon would be sweet but looks like the boulders would end renegade
