hodge911 Posted December 15, 2018 Report Share Posted December 15, 2018 (edited) has anyone used one of these for light off road use as in across fields and farm tracks ect not green lane-ing or mud plugging I have bought one as my everyday drive and since the engine went bang in the xtrail I was wondering if I put some m+s tyres or some say 50/50 on off road tyres on will it be as good as the xtrail for driving the fields [mainly large flat-ish pastures] and some farm tracks while lamping and field margins to get to hide positions with gear Edited December 15, 2018 by hodge911 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ikerrison Posted December 15, 2018 Report Share Posted December 15, 2018 Hi Hodge911. I have previously owned an XC90 which I ran on road tyres. I frequently used it off road crossing stubbles, farm tracks etc with no problem whatsoever. In fact I took it places where my mates hilux struggled. A great car although the electrics did become a bit problematic towards the end of its life. Just out of interest is it the auto version as that’s what I drove and I do think it helps with light off road use.. Good luck with the new car. All the best Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GingerCat Posted December 15, 2018 Report Share Posted December 15, 2018 A farmer friend has one and says it's very good. He also has an Isuzu pick up thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
