Actually it could work better than you think off road with a 4 banger
IF it had like 6.14 gears in it with those tires. It would never do
well at a high speed cruise (not because of RPM but because of drag vs
power availible but it would play fairly well off road. at times. I
had a freind that had a 4 banger with 35's and 5.13's and it did
surprizing well off road and surprized more than one person that
looked under hood.

I have to agree with snow. Properly geared, the 2.5L does great off road. It
will never do well in mud bogs or on the highway, but as far as trails and
general wheeling, it does just fine.
