We have a 2012 4Runner and when we picked up our trailer (used 2009) we couldn't use the WDH because the cord wasn't long enough. I had Escape add an extension to make it work back in 2016.

Burnt Ranch BLM Campground on John Day River in OR

We had this beautiful spot to ourselves after visiting the Painted Hills. The access road was steep and rough and required 4WD in one spot on the way out due to loose rock and poor tires.
