Toyota Climb

If you're seeking a genuine test of your 4WD's climbing ability without committing to a full-day expedition, Toyota Climb delivers exactly that near The Glen. This deceptively short 0.2 km trail packs serious gradient challenges that will have you working your vehicle's traction and suspension to their limits. The brutal 67% grade means you'll be pointing skyward for most of your ascent, making this more about technical skill than distance covered.

The Queensland terrain here is unforgiving, with loose surfaces and steep rocky sections that demand precise throttle control and line selection. You'll experience the kind of concentrated intensity that separates experienced off-road drivers from casual explorers. The trail's brevity—typically completed in around 13 minutes—makes it perfect for testing your setup or building confidence on challenging grades before tackling longer routes.

Before attempting Toyota Climb, ensure your vehicle is in top mechanical condition with good ground clearance and responsive brakes for the descent. The steep grade presents real hazards if you lose momentum or misjudge your approach, so conservative driving wins here. With 14 vehicles having successfully navigated this climb, it's proven achievable for well-prepared 4WDs.
