Just keep in mind that this is not a true 4WD and can overheat if you push the AWD system too far. I used to own one and while it worked awesome on most fire road graded type trails, you have to be careful. I once was on a fire road coming down a steep grade and a bunch of Jeeps were coming up. I had to back up the grade to get to a pull out. Unfortunately the gearing limitations kept the CRV from being able to reverse up the incline. It was a bad situation but the Jeeps managed to skirt by hanging tires off the shelf road. This vehicle is great but it is still a soft roader with no low gearing.
