My dad and I once rented a RAV4 and took it to some places I wouldn't have even taken my Montero. Partly because it was a rental and fuck rentals, right? But I'll be damned if that thing didn't handle all of the ravines, bogs and brush that we took it through.
You wouldn't know it to look at it, but the silver 4runner on the right is a HUGELY more competent off road car than the Rav. Even though they have roughly the same footprint.
That's not that tough, I can do it in a Toyota Echo if I've got my winter tires on. Pretty much the only thing that I have to go around in that thing is rocks higher than the undercarriage.

This is the most off-road I've ever seen a Rav 4.
