Jeep Wrangler buyers are loyal to a fault, but those wavering on a decision should check out the 4Runner.
It’s nearly as capable and a lot more comfortable.
The Toyota Tacoma pickup trades more utility for a bouncier ride and a less comfortable cabin.
Though it’s also showing its age, the Jeep Grand Cherokee remains a favorite due to its docile on-road nature and excellent off-road ability.
For most adventurers, the Subaru Outback’s good ground clearance and quick-witted all-wheel-drive system will prove more than adequate—and it’s a lot more efficient than the 4Runner.
And if you’re not going to leave the pavement, head across the Toyota showroom to look at the comfortable, spacious Highlander.
