I got my 05 Altima out 15 miles up the service road a couple weekends ago, but I had to turn back because loose rocks dont work great with 2 WD and no traction control and I really didnt want to get stuck that far out.

The thing is you can get out pretty far out in most vehicles in Washington state if you push them to the limit but there is also a piece of mind factor from having extra margin that's nice to have. That can be mitigated by not going alone but that's a luxury that you dont always have.
