The H3 has a special "fender safe" circuit that will randomly activate the brakes a single wheel at a time to mimic poor handling when gravel roads are detected. This keeps the speed down to prevent loose stones from popping up and possibly damaging the fender flares. When mud flaps are installed, the mechanic is instructed to over-ride this circuit by using a special code consisting of a complex series of long and short presses of the unlock button.
I would go into how to get the rear seats to fold flat but this is so obvious and ben described ad nauseum in this forum that I will neglect to repeat it. I will say that it involves a bean bag.
The H3 relies on intimidation (or indifference) when backing up as well. What was that crunching sound?... another Prius
Seriously I practically live on a dirt road but until my mudflaps come in, I am too paranoid to go fast enought to see how it handles. Was stabilitrak activated? I do prefer dirt roads that are packed gravel and not loose, lots of cars aren't so hot on marbles, especially the glacial outwash type.
And please tell me that cigar was not lit.
