Sounds like fun. There is no absolute answer because the terrain will very so much. Start slow and work your up on both the quad and truck.



The truck will take 30 mph fine on a nice gravel road, but you may need to keep it at 5 mph when things get rough. The old old drivers ed thing of looking farther ahead with more speed will be important to remember. If you see a very rough spot in the road, there is usually a path around the rough spot, so look for it.



With the quad only go as fast as you feel comfortable. The more you ride the faster that will be in some areas. If it feels out of control, slow it down.
