Ford Broncos were born to run free, and this little Baja video has some of the most satisfying scenes of a sweet old 4x4 in its element. This â68 Bronco is a little beefier than your average vintage SUV, which makes it that much more exciting to watch in the wild.
A friend sent me this video of car noises dubbed over little toys playing in a sandbox and I thought it was pretty cute. Then I learned, no, theyâre not toys at all. This is just a very strange and interesting way to photograph cars, utilized in one of the most extreme driving environments ever.
There are plenty of trucks with snorkels designed to drive through rivers and streams, but back in 1982, an oil pipeline manufacturer decided to go one step further and build an amphibious off-roader called the Amphi-Ranger, which could be both a truck and a boat with the press of a button.
Itâs possible, if unlikely, that some of you may recall that I ran the worldâs most brutal off-road race, the Baja 1000, late last year. I was supposed to have some cameras on the car to record the whole thing, and use that footage to make a compelling, heartwarming video that would change your life. Without cameras,âŚ
After talking to some of the folks who make the annual Sonora Rally happen, I really want to get in on it to try off-roading in a corner of Mexico thatâs nothing like Baja. But for now Iâm really, really digging the score and aesthetic of the highlight reel.
Itâs hard to find things to disagree about with my fine coworker Mike Ballaban anymore. Weâve worked together for a few years now, and most of our takes are fairly aligned. Until... I remembered this article I wrote a year ago, entitled âJust Buy A Jeepâ arguing that if you want an offroader in the U.S., you donâtâŚ
The Porsche 944 is one of the greatest cars of all time, thanks to its impeccably balanced chassis that is a true joy to throw around back roads and race tracks. Yet thereâs something missing from a stock 944âthe ability to just run right over whatever you please. This off-road âForscheâ fixed that.
More than two years ago we were introduced to the Sherpâa heroically unstoppable 4x4 tractor thing from Russia with 63-inch tires. I sort of figured it would be relegated for official use only. But donât worry, some mud-bogging boys got ahold of one and plopped it into a pit of Texas clay.
Even the most novice trails look impassable in a supercar thatâs slammed to the ground, but that didnât stop this ultimate driving ninja from taking his McLaren 720S off the pavement. This may just be one of the most nerve-wracking things weâve seen in a while.
The 2018 King Of The Hammers went down in February, on the rocks and open lake beds of Johnson Valley. It could just as easily be Mars, though. And you get a great perspective of what a rock-crawling desert race is like from these drone shots.
Audrey loves to go camping. He was trying to make it work with his little Chevy hatchback, but heâs ready to treat himself to something nicer, bigger and ready for adventure. What car should he buy?
I love riding around in a loaded Range Rover as much as the next well-dressed fox hunting enthusiast, but thereâs something deeply satisfying about watching the humblest of sport utilities stick it to aristocrat of off-roading.
A helicopter traffic camera flying over Los Angeles gridlock found something funny going on. Some motorists, desperate to not be stuck in traffic, tried to drive through a field of sand and a bunch of them got hilariously stuck anyway.
Last week Toyota announced its revised 2019 TRD Pro lineup which basically puts better suspensions on the venerable Tacoma, Tundra and 4Runner. All three will come in a color we havenât seen since the FJ Cruiser, and the 4Runner gets one more carryover from Toyotaâs beloved but abandoned Wrangler rival.
The 2018 Toyota Land Cruiser is the most expensive vehicle in Toyotaâs lineup by a massive margin. This modelâs sales numbers are so low that itâs unlikely youâll ever see one in person in America. And yet, it still exists. This week weâll find out why. Or, at least, whether or not it deserves its strangeâŚ
The 2019 Ford Ranger Raptor has finally been revealed in its final form, and even though we donât have a full spec sheet yet we can compare quite a few metrics between this and its big American brother the F-150 Raptor.
Toyota has coyly confirmed there will be ânewâ 2019 TRD Pro off-road models, plural, teasing this picture of a Tacoma with a factory snorkel(!) and implying that the 4Runner and/or Tundra will get some new off-road goodies soon as well. As ever, Iâm tentatively intrigued.
