Even then, it feels like we’re just at the start of seeing how electric vehicles could revolutionize off-road driving. Tri-motor and even quad-motor models, like the Hummer EV and Rivian R1T, can apply their not-inconsiderable torque with far greater precision to each wheel, refining the experience that mechanical differentials have long offered on ICE SUVs. At the same time, they can do that without the noise that would traditionally be associated with a gasoline truck.
For Toyota, it’s clear, the focus is still primarily on on-road use. There’s a Trail drive mode in the RAV4 Hybrid Woodland Edition, but drivers don’t get the sort of granular control over how power is applied that they do in the Wrangler 4xe.
Then again, the Jeep lacks the Toyota’s on-road manners — it’s louder, bumpier, and generally feels less refined — and for the RAV4’s audience that probably makes more of a difference in everyday use. Indeed, arguably the most appealing part of the Woodland Edition is how user-friendly it is. Respect its limits (which means don’t go charging into an off-road course that 4Runner owners might think twice about), and it should get you out of muddy ditches and unpaved paths as easily as it handles the highway.
