Type 3?
Hi
If its the 1980 - 1992 Type 3 rear engine rear wheel drive then 2wd will be fine. They maintain traction well because the engine weight is over the driveline.
They take larger/wider tyres really well and float on sand well. Take a compressor so you can drop the tyre pressures down really low.
Ditch the original spare and grab two super aggressive mud tyres and use these as your spares. You can swap the rears over if you are going somewhere muddy. You can also add in a hydraulic steering brake system so you can lock a spinning wheel to move power to the one with traction. Sounds complicated but is very simple (google off road steering brakes).
If its the later model front engine T4 or T5 they are no where near as capable sadly.
