Top 5 Family Off-Road Vehicles 2016

Off-roading is a quintessentially Rural/Urban past-time. There’s nothing quite like putting your vehicle into 4Lo and heading up a craggy rock face or 4Hi for a little less effort in your outdoors activity.

Of course, some off-roaders are better suited to a family than others while others have strengths that are more race-like, for a driver and navigator. Well, we’re here to help you find the best family off-roader with these five vehicles!

 

2016 Toyota Tacoma

The 2016 Toyota Tacoma offers a capable and rugged experience for any driving, though it is much more at home off-road. This sturdy pickup truck offers a low entry cost with premium abilities, including a multi-terrain select system, hill-start control, CRAWL mode, and more.

The bed of the truck has built-in and adjustable deck rail system to ensure that you have the best tie-down configuration for whatever you’re hauling. It’s powered by a 3.6L V6 engine capable of 278-horsepower and 265-lb.ft. of torque.

 

 

2016 Land Rover LR4

Land Rover has long been the king of off-roading. In the 1970s, Land Rover insisted that its Defender was the first vehicle most of the world’s population laid eyes on. The modern interpretation of this may well be the LR4, a safari-sized SUV for all your needs.

It offers a supercharged V6 engine connected to Land Rover’s terrain response and electronic air-ride systems, to ensure you have the most comfortable of off-roading experiences. It also comes with the exterior style and interior luxuries you’re expecting from any modern vehicle, including a Meridian audio system with 11 speakers, leather interior embellishments, and more.

 

 

2016 Jeep Renegade

This pint-sized version of the wildly popular Jeep Wrangler offers 4×4 off-roading in a small package. It has a 1.4L turbocharged MultiAir engine connected to an automatic transmission and an off-roading 4×4 system that can tackle sand, mud, and more.

You can have low-back supported, cloth-covered bucket seats or leather-trimmed bucket seats with optional heated functionality. There’s a 4-speaker standard Uconnect system with a 5-inch display or 6-speaker premium audio Uconnect system with Navigation.

A tougher-looking truck there never has been. The 2016 RAM 1600 Rebel offers the best of light-duty truck capacity while also offering killer off-road ability and a comfortable interior fit for five. You can have your RAM 1500 Rebel with a Uconnect system featuring navigation and 3D maps, voice command, and more.

It can be purchased in a 4×2 and 4×4 variation and comes with a standard 3.6L V6 engine capable of 305-horsepower and 269-lb.ft. of torque. A 5.7L HEMI V8 engine putting out 395-horsepower and 410-lb.ft. of torque is available as an optional extra.
