When you think of the top performing cars, you normally think of taking them down the open road and just listening to that engine roar. We\u2019ve even looked at some of the cars that are best chosen for city<\/a> environments. But that\u2019s not the thrill you\u2019re looking for. You\u2019re looking for a real driving experience. To that end, off-roading might be significantly more up your alley. In this article, we\u2019ll look at three vehicles that could scratch that itch.<\/p>\n

Chevrolet Colorado ZR2<\/b><\/p>\n

It\u2019s not the most tried and tested or popular of the entrants on this list. In fact, at the moment this has gone, it\u2019s not yet a car you buy right at this moment. But the Colorado<\/a> is soon making a rather thundering entrance on the market with a wide variety of models for specialists. The one you\u2019re interested in is the ZR2, with upgraded suspension, locking front and rear differentials, and driver operated traction control. It\u2019s also the most economic of the bunch mentioned, coming in at a 22 mpg. It\u2019s promising plenty of power, too, with a segment-exclusive Duramax 2.8L Turbo Diesel engine. \u00a0We\u2019re looking forward to finding out more about this long-awaited entry on the market.<\/p>\n

Ford F-150<\/b><\/p>\n

If you want something a lot more tried and tested and approved time and time again, then you need to look no further. The F-Series has been the number 1 choice in the US\u2019s truck market for four decades now. That\u2019s not just an indicator of quality. It\u2019s also a mark of a very passionate and full market. Besides the fact the core vehicle is a real alpha on any territory, it means that there\u2019s a complete slew of Ford F-150 modifications and upgrades<\/a> you can get to personalize your car even further. From reinforcing the trim for better protection off the road to installing cool air intakes that maximize the engine\u2019s performance. It\u2019s a vehicle for enthusiasts above all else.<\/p>\n

Toyota 4Runner<\/b><\/p>\n

It might not pack the visual punch of the two vehicles mentioned above, but don\u2019t let that fool you. The 4Runner has plenty of capability when it comes to tackling the rougher routes you\u2019ll want to take. If you\u2019re interested in this one, it\u2019s worth considering the TRD Off-Road and Off-Road Premium<\/a> newly added to the lineup. Particularly with the Crawl Control options that use the brake and throttle to keep your pace even no matter what kind of terrain you\u2019re on. What it lacks in visual punch, it also makes up for versatility. Its 18 mpg is just about the only thing that makes the 4Runner a bit less sensible for those who spend time in urban landscapes as well as getting out there in the mud.<\/p>\n

From the reliable powerhouses to the new and exciting, we hope we\u2019ve given you something to think about with these three picks. Here\u2019s hoping by next summer, you\u2019ll be equipped with a beast that can really let your wild side and get you out exploring.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
