Best 4WD Setting for Mud?

Looking for some guidance on which setting would be the best for off-roading in an open muddy field? I have a 2011 TRD Off Road.

 

Avoidance setting. i kid.

4wd, locked rear. hit the gas.

 

2wd 120mph

 

Open muddy field? I would go 4HI, keep the tires spinning and have fun. I wouldn't lock unless needed and I wouldn't go 4LO in a muddy field, to much wheel spin and RPM. Oh, for an added bonus push and hold the VSC button for a few seconds until it turns off, then you can spin and slide and have all kinds of fun without lights and sirens.

 

Just depends on the field, is it open, wash outs, inclines, trees? What's your style of wheeling? I know what mine is, I'll f around a bit but I like the steady and slow traction of 4 low. Just crawling along. Maximum traction with lots of gear to play with.

If your the fast guy that wants to get real muddy and throw crap all over your truck then 4 high or 2wd would be your best bet. It all depends on what your style is and what you want.

Thanks

If its a flat open muddy field keep it in 2wd, lock the rear and spin around some...

 

^ nice a local member, haven't seen you yet? I keep looking.

Thanks for all the advice guys. The field is rolling (nothing steep though) and pretty soggy due to all the rain this winter. My off road has 265/75R16 Dick Cepek FC-II, no lift. I will try out all the advice this evening and let you know how it works.

 

Do as much as you can in 2wd to learn your limits. When you get stuck put it in 4wd and crawl out.

 

AS SOON AS YOU GET HOME SPRAY THR MUD OFF THE TRUCK
DO NOT WAIT UNTIL MORNING.
SPRAY IT OFF ASAP
OR YOU WILL REGRET IT FOR YEARS TO COME

The 4wd setting thing was already answered, thought id throw out some different advice to a first time mudder.

I am 100000% serious about this

 

2HI and bypass

 

Thanks for making me spit coffee all over lmao
