You may be very pleased with your X. Took our S down a “shortcut” back road that I later learned had been abandoned after the first quarter mile. It got rougher and more challenging. Nearly got to the end, where it reconnected with pavement, but the saplings had grown too close together.
Was okay with suspension in highest position and chill mode for fine power control. Folded mirrors to get through tight spots. Didn’t seem to need slip mode.
Backed up until I could turn around. On the way out I got too close to the edge where it sloped down. Front wheel slipped down, ended up trapped with a sapling stump in the wheel well. Couldn’t figure out how to escape without damage.
Called a tow service. Driver wasn’t sure he could get his truck down the road to the S. He parked at the end I nearly reached. We walked in his jack, some come-along straps and lumber.
Used a “Murphy’s Law” block for the front jack point. Got the car free without any damage or too much drama. Loaded the equipment in the trunk and drove out the long way and around to his truck.
Turns out he grew up in the area. Remembered his dad taking the family down the road in his Jeep when it was first abandoned. He was astounded at how well the S did getting in and getting out.
No problem cleaning mud, leaf stains, grease and a bit of blood from the white interior. Got home, changed into good clothes and the family got to our fancy dinner reservation on time.
