What type of offroading? MT/AT tire, lift/level for clearance, tow hooks if not equipped

That truck was/is not meant to go "off-roading". It's a street racer type truck. AWD=All wheel drive, is not the same thing as utilitarian 4WD for off road use.

Of course, you can try to do what ever you want with it. I went off-roading with a 1970 Chevy station wagon one time...

Depending on what tye of off-roading you're talking about, you may have bought the wrong truck considering there is no 4-Low. It's only AWD(Auto 4x4) or 4-High.

I know the Harley-Davidson edition isn't the best for off-road but im only 15 and it was an awesome deal for the condition it is in.... the type of off-roading I want to do will be located in north Dakota so things like mudding, driving in the sand, green laning

sell it and buy a different truck then lmao it's a sport truck not a " off road " truck. Buy a jeep or something.

Find a different truck as that is not the type of truck to be doing that in. It has nothing to do with it being too nice of a truck for offroading, it comes down to the functionality of it. No tow hooks, no 4-low, etc. You'd be much better starting off with just a normal 4x4.

I know it's probably not what you want to hear, but it is what it is.
