We all know the Jeep Wrangler is a great vehicle for all kinds of off-road adventures. Some drivers, however, prefer a vehicle that’s more compact yet still able to handle any type of terrain; so if you’re looking for a Jeep you can take off the beaten path, then read on to discover which models best fit the bill for your needs!
The Rugged Jeep Gladiator
First on our list of off-road-ready Jeeps is the new Gladiator — winner of the 2020 North American Truck of the Year title. It boasts the performance that comes with the Jeep name but combines a traditional SUV body with an all-new truck design. The Gladiator Rubicon trim level is geared specifically for the trail and comes with impressive features such as FOX shocks, a four-wheel-drive system, Tru-Lok differentials, and an available forward-facing TrailCam camera designed for off-road use.
New for 2020 is the first desert-rated Jeep on the market: the Gladiator’s Mojave trim. It comes with increased traction, ground clearance, and maneuverability so you can easily navigate sand, dirt, and rock with confidence. It’s also able to withstand grueling heat and dust when you hit the dunes.
The Stylish Jeep Renegade
The Jeep Renegade is another capable yet stylish off-road vehicle. The available 2.4-liter Tigershark engine comes with a four-wheel-drive design. You get up to 180 horsepower to make it through any kind of terrain. An available Selec-Terrain traction management system allows you to maintain optimal traction on a variety of surfaces. Settings include automatic, snow, sand, mud, and rock. The modern design not only offers off-road perfection but also catches the eye of everyone you pass on the road or trail!
The High-End Jeep Grand Cherokee
When you see a Grand Cherokee on the streets, you might not always think about how it performs off-road. The luxurious style looks like it’s made for the city – but it’s just as comfortable on the trails, as well. It offers features such as the Quadra-Drive II system that comes with a rear electronic limited-slip differential. This system provides the capability and traction to make it through any type of road, driving, or weather condition you’re presented with. It’s also available with the Selec-Terrain system, allowing you to choose your driving mode.
The Highly Capable Jeep Cherokee
While the Grand Cherokee is a great off-road choice, don’t ignore the Jeep Cherokee. This Trail Rated staple of the Jeep collection has proven itself worthy thanks to excellent performance in ground clearance, articulation, traction, maneuverability, and water fording. You’ll find special water sealing and high air intakes so you can make it through creeks while off-road driving. The active drive will automatically engage the four-wheel-drive system when it detects slipping or unpredictable road conditions.
