Whether you’ve been driving for a decade or you’re a new driver, the term off-road vehicle can drum up a bunch of different ideas in your head. Not everyone knows that there’s more than just one type of off-road vehicle. The common misconception is that an off-road vehicle can drive on dirt and that’s pretty much it. But no, when picking an off-road vehicle there’s plenty to know to make the best purchase decision

What Makes a Jeep Off-Road?
Before we get into the specifics of the different types of off-road vehicles out there, we first need to clear up any misconceptions about what they are what exactly makes a vehicle off-road.
The overall misconception is correct in one way, these types of vehicles can drive great on dirt roads. But to get down to the nitty-gritty, one important thing to know is that there are different levels to what these vehicles can handle. Not every model is a bit alike despite being coined off-road. Some can handle hardcore trails. Others are just better with a nature-themed trip.
Most off-road vehicles have four-wheel drive. They’re also tall enough to make it over tough terrain like hills and rocks.
They also come with four high or four low gearings. These gears make the vehicle better with traction and control overall.
The one model of Jeep that is the most popular in the off-road category is the Jeep Wrangler.
What Makes an Off-Road Crossover?
To best understand what makes an off-road crossover is thinking of these models as half street car half off-road. You won’t get one hundred percent of either with a crossover. But you’ll get just enough of each quality to get the job done on either terrain. You may not go camping every week and use your vehicle more on the city streets. But let’s say you do go camping on occasion and need that durability. Then a crossover is for you.
Some popular crossovers are the Jeep Cherokee, Jeep Renegade, Subaru Crosstrek, and Subaru Outback.
What Makes an Off-Road Truck?
Off-road trucks are just what you might be thinking. They’re truck models with the capabilities of off-road vehicles. Some popular models in this category are the Jeep Gladiator, Toyota Tacoma, and Chevy Colorado.
