The 5 Best Off-Road Vehicles

Here are the rides most likely to keep you from getting stuck in the mud

Jeep Wrangler Rubicon
Base Price: $29,315
Combined Mileage: 16 mpg

Any vehicle fitted with BFGoodrich Mud Terrains is going to be very good off road. The Wrangler Rubicon is available with 32-inch diameter Muds. That extra inch in diameter over the more-common 31s provides useful additional ground clearance. The Rubicon also features the ability to disconnect the front anti-roll bar. This increases suspension travel and helps keep the tires in contact with the surface. The mantra of successful off-roaders is "As slow as possible, as fast as necessary." The Rubicon's Rock-Trac transfer case's ultra-low gearing provides the torque multiplication - and speed enforcement - to allow you to successfully climb and descend steep trails. With lockable front and rear differentials, the Wrangler Rubicon is one of the few vehicles that truly has four-wheel drive.
