Random Best Off-Road Vehicles (25 items)

• 

  (#1) Toyota 4Runner

  • Toyota

  The first generation 4Runner is one of the most versatile 4x4’s ever built. It holds its age well and comes loaded from the factory with off-road friendly goodies, including a removable fiberglass hard-top and solid axles in the front and rear. (It should be noted that the front solid axle was swapped out for independent front suspension in 1986.) Backyard mechanics can easily swap in various motors, drivetrains, and accessories to meet specific needs. Plus, it’s roomy enough to sleep in, and store all your gear. Keep it a daily driver, or transform it into a rock-crawler or Baja worthy pan-American camper. Whatever you choose to use it for, the humble 4Runner will get it done.

  (#13) Mercedes-Benz G-Class

  • Mercedes-Benz

  What can be said about the G-Class that hasn’t already been said? These classy yet indestructible SUV’s have been representing the finest in off-road sophistication since 1979, with roots going back to post WWII. Over the years, they’ve been used as Popemobiles and in desert wars. They’ve also become more powerful and luxurious with each passing year, perfect for those who want to keep their pinkies out while they off-road.

  (#5) Ford F-Series

  • Ford

  This BAMF of a truck was born and bred for Baja style off-road driving. The Raptor was initially revealed to a pleasantly surprised crowd at SEMA 2008, where it was announced the model would be tested in the legendary Baja 1000. After finishing third SCORE’s Class 8, these trucks have remained a 4x4 favorite. With custom tuned reservoir shocks, more than 11 inches of travel front and rear, and an engine boasting 450 horsepower and 510 ft-lb of torque, it’s easy to see why this beast is so beloved.

  (#12) Chevrolet C/K

  • General Motors, Chevrolet

  It’s true these trucks were never formally offered with an off-road drivetrain. However, these rugged workhorses are easy to modify, as their design allows them to easily accommodate custom suspensions, lifts, and bigger tires without much fuss. For those who like to leave things stock, the K-Series trucks came standard with bulletproof gearboxes, and solid axles in the front and rear. This makes them more than capable of tackling most tasks without aftermarket additions.

  (#7) Chevrolet Colorado

  • General Motors, Chevrolet

  This truck makes an excellent trail-ready daily driver. It was designed for that very purpose, complete with front and rear electronically locking diffs, widened front and rear tracks, and 2” lift. Front and rear bumpers have also been modified for clearance, and the undercarriage is protected from flying debris thanks to thick, aluminum skid plates. The Bison edition, a first-time collaboration between Chevy and American Expedition Vehicles, kicks things up to 11 with additional fog lamps and AEV air snorkel.

  (#20) Jeep Grand Cherokee

  • Chrysler, Jeep

  A grand solution for those craving off-road adventure, but unwilling to sacrifice ride quality while on the tarmac as well as off it.
