    Hello Forum,

    Miami, Florida here! Just north of Coral Gables.

    I asked this question before but it's been a while and I'm hoping to get more input. What trails can I drive with my truck that are 2WD friendly? I have a:

    (2008 Pre-runner, DCSB, 4.0 auto,
    5 month old LT265/75r16 BFG A/T's,
    4 Billie 5100's with fronts at .85
    2012 TRD 2/1 leafs with Wheelers
    3-Leaf AAL w/ OEM overload leaf
    left in also. (Basically 5/1 leafs).

    The 2 locations that I have been to in Miami are NW 41st and to SW 8 ST & 137 AVE. NW 41 st is mainly flooded dirt roads (water covering the steps on the sides of my truck) & SW 8 ST is mud with rocks on the bottom (you drive about 5 MPH and you are literally bouncing in your truck. I never went to the center of the 8 st location because I hear that place is for 4x4. I've gone in fairly deep and haven't been stuck yet.

    I've Googled the following places:

    * A place known as "The Hump"in Homestead.

    * Bear Island in the Big Cypress National Preserve.

    * J.W. Corbett in West Palm Beach.

    Has anyone here with 2WD been to any of these places? If so, can a 2WD handle it? I know that there will be places that are 4WD ONLY but atleast some of it could be driven with 2WD I hope. BTW, I am not looking for mud exclusively. It can be mud or any type of scenic trails out there that I can drive through AND be able to handle light mud or flooding. Thats basically what I am looking for.

    PS. I got a real good deal on this truck so I am not going to sell it just to buy a 4WD Tacoma. I'm just looking to have the most fun with what I have.

    Somewhere like this:

    Here are some pics of my truck:

    Wow! Good find. Very informative. Oh well, scratch Bear Island off of the list. Hopefully someone can find a 2WD friendly trail somewhere down here. BTW, thanks for the info.:)

    I've been out to jw Corbett a couple of times. The main trail can be easily navigated with 2wd. The main trail has a bunch of side trails (but I think they're off limits). I've stuck to the main trail which is scenic and taken some of the small trails back to where camp sites are located. You should have no problem with 2wd. Here's some more info
