It did a good job, probably what most people will do at the extreme end.

I was really impressed by this. When I saw this, I was going to myself "Holy cow! This thing is amazing". Because I live in the city with next to no areas of offroading (unless you count the myriad of potholes), I ordered an Executive model (Canada). The one regret was that it wasn't really offroadable, well, at least so I thought. This changes things.
I'm just wondering how the 22" wheels will stand up. The Executive (Lux+) model has forged wheels, whereas the base is machined, so the forged wheels should be a bit stronger, but there is less sidewall, so who knows.

Put some better rubber on (not that those did too bad to begin with) and this is a really capable offroader in the base model.
