I've got a 2017 chevy trax and I'm glad to see you are doing good in snow, I think more clearance with a lift kit and slightly bigger tires would make it even more capable
I just took mine down a rough all sand logging road and it handled really well, I was very nervous I would get stuck but it surprised me forsure could use more ground clearance I was scraping my front bumper a few times
Don't put it in reverse when you are rolling back down the hill! Keep it in drive, drive 1 if you're vehicle has the option with it's transmission. Low end gear is going to make it easier for you
I just got me a 21 encore I wonder how it will do at the lake took my truck and it got stuck since it was a rwd.. there was some rocks and all but I hope My encore awd does better
Encore is light, therefore, even with less sophisticated awd, than Jeep has, for example, it still doing good in light and moderate offroad conditions.
