    Do you think renegade in sand mode could handle this? Anyone have experience with that area i dont and am curious. Dont think i could make it thru all the creek crossings on medano trail in colorado. Whats the highest i could cross for three seconds and not hurt myself in a latitude?

    Honestly, it's hard to say for sure. I've run through some sand dunes in my Trailhawk but it does have a sand mode 4Low setting. Without it, i was just bogging down.

    You know, I'm not 100% sure but if there is a difference, it might be in the crawl ratio. If it were me, I would give it a try :)

    Yeah, in a Renegade, you need to keep it moving and that can be hard to do unless you're moving fast. Airing down your tires will help a lot too. As far as creeks go, I'm pretty sure you can get through anything that keeps water out of your air intake but, I would try to keep the water below the door sills.
