Cool Off roading the RX300

What type of terrain can the RX handle?

I assume Snow, how about Sand?

If you still have your Integritys on the car, forget it.

I switched to 235 Michelin Cross-Terrains, and have fought every kind of turf imaginable with 99 AWD here in Mexico. The thing you have to watch for is the shocks, and not take to deep a ride. Moreover, your air filter can get clogged very quickly with dust, and set off the OBD II Sensor.

I have seen Pathfinders (no QX4s sold in Mexico) get stuck in stuff down here, that my RX did not.
