One of the most kickass broncos was the baja produced between 71 and 75 under bill stroppes supervision.
Best off road suv ever made. 20 toughest suvs around the world. Like the frontier theres also a pro 4x trim that offers the best off road capability. The fj cruiser is a truck and its based on a truck model. Like the off road 4runner the land cruiser also comes with crawl control.
Roundly panned as the ugliest vehicle ever made the aztek added injury to the insult by also not handling very well on or off road. In that price range about that only suv that could go further off road is the jeep wrangler. They were painted in unique way paired with 302 ci v8s and c4 transmissions and offered with wide range of optional goodies. The fj cruiser is based on a toyota tacoma chassis and as such has a lot of the same power and toughness.
Naturally it comes with bilstein shocks a locking rear differential. Theres even a system that when activated brakes the outside rear wheel to tighten the vehicles turning circle on a narrow trail. The fj cruiser shows off a short wheelbase. They are still some of the best off road suvs ever made.
Full size pickup trucks are constantly in competition with each other to prove which one is the most capable off road. Thats because the best off road vehicles rugged body on frame suvs are quickly going extinct and car based crossovers reign supreme.

The fj cruiser isnt based on a corolla or camry.
Sport utility vehicles used to be very agricultural machines with underpowered engines noisy drivetrains and utilitarian interiors but these days its possible to get an off road capable suv. Nissan hasnt put its raptor fighting titan warrior into production yet so its best off road option is the titan xd pro 4x. However this tech along with the luxury of the land cruiser comes with a steep price tag. There was nothing at all to praise about this thing and there was plenty to deride.
While crossovers are more comfortable and usually more efficient than traditional suvs the most challenging terrain theyre designed to conquer is a dirt road. Photo by t i g.
