When it comes to reputation and performance, the Jeep Wrangler stands as the ultimate off-roading treasure, holding an unshakable position. Its supremacy is simple to explain: for the price of a standard passenger car, you get the ruggedness of a pickup truck. It's both practical and eye-catching, and few other vehicles offer such value. Ask yourself, who else besides the Wrangler can deliver this kind of worth?
Conceptual Sketch of the Next Generation Wrangler
However, if you're not a fan of the current Wrangler but can't wait for the next-generation model (scheduled for 2018), then the top ten best off-road vehicles selected by U.S. media outlet Road & Track might be your next best option.
Chevrolet Colorado ZR2
Thanks to its superior front and rear differential locks and an excellent suspension system, the Colorado ZR2 boasts impressive off-road capabilities. However, driving a vehicle like this requires knowledge of the terrain to maximize its potential. We truly appreciate this classic off-road machine.
The latest generation of the Land Rover Discovery has abandoned its predecessor’s non-load-bearing body structure in favor of a monocoque design with an aluminum frame. Don’t assume that using a monocoque will make the vehicle feel “soft.†In fact, the new Discovery has shed 390 kilograms and gained enhanced off-road prowess.
Smart and electronic assistance systems play a crucial role. With the help of several auxiliary systems, the new generation Discovery has been praised by most users for its off-road capabilities.
Yes, the price of the Mercedes-Benz G550 is more than double that of the most expensive Jeep Wrangler, but what you pay will undoubtedly be worth it. In terms of off-road performance, the Mercedes-Benz G550 is without a doubt a leader, possibly even surpassing the Wrangler.
Its front, center, and rear differential locks allow it to handle terrains that ordinary cars can’t. Few places exist where a G-Class cannot go. Like the Wrangler, the G-Class remains a true off-road icon.
No one would dispute this: in today’s automotive world, there’s no car that combines savvy off-road performance with luxury quite like the Land Rover Range Rover. Of course, those who own a Range Rover rarely utilize its off-road capabilities. Few cars can both dominate the wilderness and glide through the city like the Range Rover.
Although the Jeep Wrangler reigns supreme in off-road performance, it lacks luxury. Therefore, the latest Jeep Grand Cherokee Trailhawk version fills the gap left by the Wrangler. The Grand Cherokee Trailhawk enhances its all-terrain off-road capabilities while maintaining its luxurious appeal, making it a balanced blend of road and off-road prowess. Think of it as a more affordable Land Rover Range Rover.
In over 30 years since its debut, the Toyota 4Runner has evolved significantly. Yet, as an SUV, it has remained true to its original purpose: to be a genuine sport utility vehicle (Sport Utility Vehicle).
With the TRD Pro off-road package, the 4Runner gains a differential lock, four Bilstein shocks, and some special exterior modifications, giving it enhanced off-road abilities and a fiercer appearance.
The only real competitor to the Land Rover Range Rover is the Toyota Land Cruiser and its cousin, the Lexus LX. Both Japanese models excel in spaciousness, comfort, luxury, functionality, and reliability. Additionally, thanks to advanced electronic aids, their off-road capabilities are unmatched.
However, more performance comes at a higher price. The Toyota Land Cruiser starts at $83,825, while the Lexus LX begins at $88,880. By comparison, the Land Rover Range Rover starts at $83,500.
If you’re into pickups and modifications, and desire strong off-road capabilities, the Ford-built F-150 Raptor fits the bill. It even features a special “Baja†mode. In this mode, the four-wheel-drive system operates at full capacity, the throttle response quickens, the gearbox shifts faster, and each gear's range widens, improving power delivery and off-road handling.
When we first tested the Ram Power Wagon in 2014, we found it far superior to the Jeep Wrangler. Wondering why?
Compared to the standard Ram 2500, the Ram Power Wagon sports a more potent 6.4L V8 naturally aspirated engine with refined details for a bolder look. Most importantly, it drastically improves its off-road performance. This is an excellent pickup, and perhaps due to the success of these off-road pickups, Jeep finally decided to introduce a pickup version on the next-generation Wrangler.
Nissan doesn’t currently have a model that competes directly with the Raptors, so their current top off-road model is the Titan XD PRO-4X. The addition of Bilstein shocks and a rear axle differential lock has significantly boosted its off-road capabilities. A unique feature of this vehicle is its sole use of the Cummins V8 diesel engine. While this reduces its road performance slightly, the diesel engine’s low-speed, high-torque advantage shines on the off-road sections.
