The Toyota RAV4 TRD Off Road is the latest off-roading model from Toyota. Toyota has built some excellent off-roading vehicles like the Toyota Tacoma, Toyota 4Runner, and Sequoia, but how does the little RAV4 compare? Will it live up to the TRD name or let us down? The Toyota RAV4 TRD goes off-roading The Fast …

They may be maintenance nightmares, but few vehicles combine off-road capability with luxuries like Land Rover’s crossovers and SUVs. That’s true even of the stylish—but expensive—Range Rover Evoque and Velar. However, it’s the newly-resurrected Land Rover Defender which arguably best captures the brand’s off-road spirit. But does it work as well on paved roads as …

No one ever said overlanding or off-roading couldn’t be done in luxury. For one, quite a few owners have taken vehicles like the Audi Allroad and Porsche 924 rather far from paved roads. Not to mention, that’s the whole point behind luxury SUVs like the Range Rover. But for an overland-ready luxury SUV that won’t …

The Kia Telluride was previewed at the 2018 Specialty Equipment Manufacturer Association, or SEMA, show alongside several tough-looking, off-road-ready examples. Since then, the Telluride has been a big hit. In some cases, dealerships have been unable to keep them in stock. So, Kia has dabbled a lit bit with the Telluride’s original formula and introduced …

RV fans know that the modernization of outdoor recreation-related facilities has been sorely lagging for many years. However, the bipartisan legislation called the Great American Outdoors Act, was overwhelmingly supported and approved on Tuesday, July 22nd. Its goal is to repair ailing infrastructure and protect special natural locations. The passage of the bill has caused …

If your overlander can’t accommodate a bed camper, one common alternative is a rooftop tent. The only problem is, whether you drive a Japanese van or an SUV, making sure you don’t overload the roof. Go Fast Campers is already known for making extremely light pickup truck bed campers. And now, the Montana-based company is …

Clubs centered around overlanding and off-roading have experienced a lift in recent years. So have all the ancillary industries, such as side-by-side ATV/UTVs. Now, Honda may be looking to make a more serious attack on the offroad scene. It may join the likes of Rubicon and TRD Pro packaged vehicles. Honda to take offroad game …

Nikola Motors is a name that may have been heard in relation to electric vehicles. The company has an electric pickup about to be launched, as well as three different types of electric semi tractor-trailers. Nikola was also recently on the news for having raised more in its public offering in the stock market than …

Side-by-sides, or UTVs, are very popular for ranch and farm work as well as recreational off-roading. They are both a useful tool and a toy for grownups. It’s possible to get a side-by-side on the low end for as low as around $5 grand. But the most capable, durable, and state-of-the-art UTVs cost upwards of …

The first-ever Jeep Top Canine search has begun. The manufacturer is encouraging Jeep enthusiasts to snap a pic of their dog and their Jeep and upload it to the designated spots online. The winning doggo will be used in Jeep marketing for a year. It seems like a great pairing of mankind’s best friend and …

Mention the name Segway, and many people will have the image of the electric, standup personal transportation device on two wheels, a scooter of sorts. Many law enforcement agencies around the world have used the electric transporters, and they were also popularized in the Paul Blart Mall Cop movie series. But, last month, we covered how that electric …

Typically, electric scooters are used in urban settings, rather than for off-roading. For that, you really need something like a dirt bike, electric or otherwise. But if vintage Vespas can venture off-pavement, why not more modern machines? To be fair, the upcoming Kuberg Ranger isn’t precisely a scooter. But it is an electric dirt bike …

Whether you do it on a motorcycle or a truck, going off-road can be a lot of fun. However, to do it properly requires a fair bit of preparation, especially to your chosen set of wheels. Having enough ground clearance and the right tires are good first steps. And many vehicles designed for off-roading, such …

ATVs, UTVs, Side-by-sides, quads––whatever you call them. People often wonder how legal (or safe) it is to ride one of these on the street. Sometimes access to a certain trails system is only a short ride on a road away from the property on which the off-road recreational vehicle like the Honda Pioneer is kept. …

A UTV, or Utility Task Vehicle, is one of the most desired outdoor recreation vehicles around. Not only can they go virtually anywhere, but they can fit two people side by side––hence the name side-by-side. Additionally, a UTV has a little cargo space and some towing capacity. Two popular UTVs are the Honda Pioneer and …

Side-by-side UTVs may be tons of fun, but they’re not exactly street-legal. And while there are plenty of off-road trucks and SUVs on the market, they don’t have quite the same raw appeal. Safari 911s and modified Miatas, as well as a handful of supercars, come a bit closer. But for tackling both the urban …

The Basecamp travel trailer has been one of the strongest sellers Airstream has. But demand remains strong for Airstream. That is why the company decided to make a larger Basecamp model with some attention paid to customer-requested items and features. So, Airstream has introduced two new larger Basecamp models.  Airstream’s original Basecamp model The Basecamp …

There has been a lot of news lately on the 2021 Ford Bronco and the Jeep Wrangler rivalry. But, it would be remiss to discuss any offroad lineup without also including the Toyota FJ Cruiser. Although the Toyota FJ Cruiser was cancelled in the United States in 2014, it has still left a loyal fan …

Even before the 2021 Bronco finally showed its face, Ford was squaring-off against another off-road icon: the Jeep Wrangler. On the surface, both SUVs seem fairly similar, and not just in terms of squared-off looks. But does the Ford Bronco have what it takes to take on the Wrangler, both on and off the dirt? …

The all-new Ford Bronco family embodies freedom. It doesn’t need the open road, it will make its own pass through the mountains. Ford claims class-leading ground coverage, the “toughness of an F-series and the spirit of a Mustang.” The video clips by Jimmy Chin are breathtaking and it’s easy to get all emotionally involved with …
