You Have a Set of Fuel Wheels or Grid Wheels and a Set of Nitto Grappler Tires, All You Need Now is a Worthy Vehicle
Posted by Bobby Shell on 20th Apr 2016
Many 4-wheels drive vehicles have gone soft within the last few years, this can be blamed on the fact many manufacturers have prioritized fuel economy and comfort levels over off-road capabilities. We are not saying this is necessarily a bad thing as most consumers use their 4-wheel drive vehicles strictly on paved roads, but there are those who desire a vehicle that can take on a mountain trail.
So you have some of the necessary components of a 4-wheel drive, a set of Fuel wheels or Grid wheels and a set of Nitto Grappler tires, all you need now is a worthy vehicle on which to install them.
This is when we come in to help.
Here is a short list of the best off-road vehicles that you can buy.
Jeep Wrangler Rubicon Hard Rock Edition
The Hard Rock in this Jeep Wrangler edition doesn’t mean you need to like Van Halen, it is in reference to the tough terrain this bad boy can handle. With a package option that includes Dana 44 axles and a sway bar disconnect system, you can bet this Jeep can handle the toughest trails you dare to challenge. In addition, these Jeep Wranglers come with a Torx toolkit with all the tools you need to remove the roof and doors.
Nissan Xterra Pro
The Nissan Xterra has remained the most capable and one of the few trail-friendly SUVs over the last 15 years. This beauty includes hill descent control and a hill start assist that prevents you from rolling backwards on steep inclines. We think this should be standard on all 4-wheel drive vehicles. The 2016 Titan series comes equipped with a Cummings diesel, if you so desire.
Ram Power Wagon
The Ram is one of those trucks that will be making this list every year as it only gets better with age. In addition to a superior suspension, the Ram Power Wagon sports locking front and rear differentials to help you through the muddiest of spots on the trail. You will find it difficult getting this truck stuck anywhere, but if it does happen, the Ram Power Wagon is equipped with a Warn electric winch hidden just behind the front bumper.
Ford Raptor
The Ford raptor sports a healthy 411 hp v-8 engine which makes this beast quick, but with the added wide-track tires and superior suspension, it is able to simply glide through dirt trails. And though the Raptor looks a little Baja focused, it is almost as capable as the Power Wagon for slow hill crawling.
Ford Super Duty
This is one occasion where a truck is aptly named. If you plan on hitting unpaved roads with a payload, your boat or camper most likely, then you will certainly want to look into a Ford Super Duty. The solid beam axle has increased durability and the ability to handle tires larger than stock and the 440 hp. 6.7-liter diesel can crank out a tremendous amount of torque.
So there you have it, a short list of 4-wheel drives worthy of your new Fuel wheels, Grid wheels and Nitto Grappler tires.
