Lessons Learned from Jeep, Ford Launches First Certified Bronco Community

Broncophiles have missed the Bronco since it departed in 1996. So, Ford has decided to bring it back, much to the delight of its fans. But, this time Ford is going to capitalize on lessons they learned from Jeep when they bring the Bronco back. Jeep, you know, that other off-road legend, the one with the Wrangler.

Kartcross Is the Craziest Racing Series You’ve Never Heard Of

Even today, the lessons learned from racing can directly impact automotive technology. Ducati and Lancia used it to develop pioneering features and well-regarded vehicles. It’s thanks to the rally-racing Audi Ur-Quattro that modern all-wheel drive was developed. But racing doesn’t only benefit cars; it also improves the drivers themselves. Not to mention the lure of …

The Stylish Range Rover Velar Is Actually Off-Road Savvy

True, like some of Land Rover’s other products, the Range Rover lineup gets dinged for reliability. But these luxury SUVs aren’t merely status symbols: much like the Defender, Range Rovers can actually range off-pavement. The entry-level Evoque crossover is no exception, either. Though at first glance, the more style-focused Range Rover Velar would seem to …

Off-Roading a Porsche 924? This Rally Build Proves It’s Possible

Besides Porsche’s cars having a deserved reputation as premium high-performance vehicles, many of the company’s products also have an extensive off-road history. The 959 supercar was partially developed for rallying, and the Cayenne SUV competed in a few. So has the 911, and even now, valuable air-cooled 911s are regularly converted into dirt-drifting Safari builds. …

Is the Toyota Tacoma TRD a Better Rally Truck Than the Old One?

Although the latest Toyota Tacoma is noticeably different than the first-gen truck, at its core, it’s still built with old-school utility in mind. The Tacoma TRD, in particular, is a popular off-roading choice. However, as we’ve seen, it’s not invincible. Team O’Neil tested the previous-gen Tacoma around its rally school course and found it a …

This Norwegian Ford F-150 is Built Arctic Tough

Ice-racing Bentley Continental GTs aside, not every vehicle can conquer the Arctic’s icy chill. Usually, you’d think a specialty vehicle like the Sherp ATV or Rokon Trail-Breaker, or a truck equipped with tank treads would be required. However, as Car and Driver showed by off-roading in the Arctic Circle with a Lamborghini Urus, many modern …

The Rugged 2WD Rokon Trail-Breaker Can Tow 2000 LBS

Choosing an off-road motorcycle is about balancing pavement manners with dirt performance. The Triumph Scrambler and modified Indian Scout Sixty can venture off-pavement, but they’re heavier and more expensive. Dual sports can freely transition between gravel and asphalt, but their designs skew more towards dirt bikes than street ones. And the Ural’s 2WD and old-school …

Ural Motorcycles Let You Bring Old-School Sidecars Off-Road

Before cars became affordable, motorcycles with sidecars were the most affordable way to transport goods and/or families. Some models, like BMWs, were even used on the battlefront. Now, though, while it’s possible to get modern bikes with classic looks, sidecars have all but died out. However, there’s still one company, Ural, keeping the off-roading sidecar …

Legendary Porsche Tuner RUF Reveals All-Wheel Drive Safari 911

The Safari 911 trend is showing no signs of slowing down. In fact, it’s seemingly inspired other unconventional off-road builds, like the NORRA Vespa scooters, the adventuring Indian Scout Sixty, and Gambler Mazda Miata. And now RUF, the German company famous for tuning Porsches, is making its own Safari 911. RUF’s past Porsches Technically speaking, …

Which Scrambler Motorcycles Can Actually Go Off-Road?

Going off-road doesn’t mean you always need a specialized machine, especially when it comes to motorcycles. In addition to dirt and dual sport bikes, people have taken Indian cruisers and Vespa scooters off the beaten path. This type of off-road modification was started decades ago with the first scrambler motorcycles. And today, as with other …

Want an Off-Road Rally Machine? Try a Vespa Scooter

Sometimes, the greatest fun in racing is running with unconventional machines. Instead of race-prepped SUVs and trucks, taking a Porsche 911, or a Mazda Miata. At this year’s Mexico 1000, one team is applying that logic to two wheels. But rather than using a rally-ready Honda dirt bike, or high-power dual-sport, Tutto Mondo Racing is …

Is Overlanding the Same Thing as Off-Roading?

‘Overlanding’ and ‘off-roading’ often tend to be used interchangeably. And, to be fair, on the surface, the SUVs, trucks, and vans used for both activities can seem fairly similar. But if you’re interested in one or the other, know that off-roading and overlanding aren’t exactly the same thing. And just like the Jeep Wrangler can’t …

Is the Earliest Mitsubishi Delica the Best?

Buying an off-road vehicle is often a balancing act. Newer vehicles tend to be safer, with more technology to simplify the experience. However, there’s a reason many overlanders tend to go old-school: less technology means fewer things to go wrong. Older off-roaders, such as the Toyota 4Runner and Tacoma, also offer similar performance as their …

What is the Best Overland Vehicle: Van, SUV, or Japanese Van?

You need only look at the burst in Pontiac Aztek interest to see how overlanding has taken off. A desire to go off-road, or at least look like you can, explains SUVs’ strong sales, especially ones like the Toyota 4Runner. But just like in day-to-day scenarios, an SUV isn’t always the best choice. Volkswagen wouldn’t …

It’s not only celebrities that are going electric. Classic trucks and SUVs are now being converted to electric drive, keeping classic utility without problematic powertrains. Swapping the engine out for an electric motor also makes affordable importable off-road SUVs easier to live with—fewer obscure parts to break. But SUVs aren’t the only off-roaders. Both Lancia …
