4x4 for idiots
Discussion
Just rented a Suzuki Caribian (Jimny 1.3?) in Thailand. Have option of 4-high, 4-low, 2-high, neutral on the range selector. Roads are surfaced not bad really, just hills a bit steep and it's struggling a bit, but maybe thats just the small engine and fat people.
Any thoughts what I should be using?

When I drove a Caribian in Thailand it was the old SJ not the Jimny. By now it is going to be past it's best so maybe not expect too much.
I drive one from Bangkok to Phuket, around Phuket for 2 weeks, and back to Bangkok and never took it out of two wheel drive unless on very steep gravel roads or the beach.

If youre in the right gears for heavy work you should be able to put the car in gear, get out, lean in through the window to start it, car should drive off at less than walking pace....
