The 5 Best Off-Road Vehicles

The Land Cruiser is the best off-road vehicle that most American will never drive off pavement. Land Cruisers spend a large portion of their lives on unpaved roads in the Middle East and Africa. Topping the list of tech marvels is what Toyota calls crawl control. In serious off-road situations, the driver sets the crawl control to one of three speeds - one, two or three mph - removes his feet from the pedals and focuses on steering around obstacles. The computer mimics a professional driver, applying gas or brakes where necessary. In addition, the Land Cruiser features a system that, in essence, automatically disconnects the anti-roll bars to provide more suspension travel and keep the tires on the ground: Old-time off-roaders do this manually.
