One of the best ways to encourage more family bonding is to go on adventures and to travel together. When you pile into your vehicle and head off the beaten path, everyone will come together in a spirit of adventure. The last thing you want is to have the adventure end early thanks to your vehicle breaking down. You need a reliable off-road machine you can count on. Here is a look at six vehicle models perfect for an off-road family.
Toyota 4Runner Trail Premium
This is one of the best off-road vehicle models for families who want to get lost in the backcountry. The suspension is rugged enough to handle even the bumpiest trails, and the 9.6 inches of ground clearance will help you get over rocks and ruts. Best of all, the 4Runner will seat a family of five comfortably with plenty of room left over for your gear and the family dog.
Ford Transit Connect LWB
This amazing van was originally made for the European market. Its massive popularity overseas led to large demand for its release in the States and thankfully Ford agreed. The three rows of seating in this massive van offer room for seven passengers. You will also have plenty of space to store your gear with its 104 cubic feet of storage.
Jeep Cherokee
This has long been one of the favored vehicles for off-road enthusiasts. The Cherokee can handle the most rugged terrain and has plenty of extra room as well. This is a vehicle that will be a great handling car equally at home taking your family to school and on camping trips.
Cadillac ATS AWD 2.0T
This is not your grandfather’s Cadillac. The ATS’s multilink suspension and awesome AWD system will get you where you need to go no matter if the road is paved or not. With seating for five in its luxurious interior, this is the way to adventure with your family in style.
Subaru XV Crosstrek
Many people consider Subaru the best when it comes to AWD, and the Crosstrek lives up to this reputation. This is a vehicle that will climb up a mountain or ford an icy stream without missing a beat. It offers room for five and plenty of cargo.
Land Rover Discovery Adventure
No list of off-road vehicles is complete with mention of a Land Rover. The Discovery Adventure is a wonderful choice for families who want to get away from it all. It can climb a 45-degree incline and cross water up to two feet in depth. It also has seating for five and 60 feet of cargo space for your family’s gear.
