Ford Bronco

Starting at $29,995, Ford is bringing back for 2021 a legendary product in the Bronco. It will be available in the familiar two-door model, and now a four-door model as well. The Bronco will run on the 2.7-liter EcoBoost V6 that produces 325 horsepower and 400 pound-feet of torque.

To make the off-road experience more enjoyable, the two-door Bronco will feature a three-section removable roof design. Four-door models will have a four-section system. Made to be customizable, the Bronco will offer more than 200 factory-backed aftermarket accessories for capability, style and personalization.

Ford is currently accepting reservations for first purchases of the new Bronco.

Chevrolet Tahoe Z71

Starting at $59,200, the Chevy Tahoe Z71 has a standard 5.3-liter, 355-horsepower engine with 460 pound-feet of torque. Additionally, every Tahoe comes equipped with a 10-speed automatic transmission.

The 2021 model will come with an independent rear suspension and extended wheel base for greater stability. While the Z71 has been a hallmark of off-road capabilities, it does so with a sense of comfort. There are five USB ports inside, and a touchscreen infotainment center adds a tech edge to the ride. It's a three-row SUV offering an off-roading option for 7-9 people.

A wide range of custom options makes the Tahoe Z71 easy to personalize and tailor to a driver’s individual taste.

Toyota Land Cruiser

Starting at $85,515, the 2021 Land Cruiser will come in a base model, a Heritage Edition and a Heritage option of three-row seating. All models run on a 381-horsepower, 5.7-liter DOHC V8 engine that produces 401 pound-feet of torque.

Off-road capabilities are enhanced by a Kinetic Dynamic Suspension System (KDSS), which hydraulically adjusts the stabilizer bars for wheel articulation. There are numerous drive-assist features built into the Land Cruiser that aid off-road performance.

The 2021 models come equipped with extra safety features; such as a camera to detect vehicles and pedestrians, and a pre-collision system to automatically apply brakes to minimize or avoid collisions in certain situations.

Jeep Gladiator Farout

Jeep has just announced a new member to its Gladiator family, the Farout overland vehicle. The Farout runs on the Gladiator's 3.0-liter EcoDiesel V-6 engine that produces 260 horsepower and 442 pound-feet of torque. The diesel-powered Gladiator is being offered for the first time due to customer demand, the company said.

The Farout is not just a vehicle capable of traveling off-road, it's specifically built for it. It's one of three Jeep categories that feature third-generation Dana 44 front and rear heavy-duty axles. In addition to the standard offerings of the Gladiator series, the Farout includes a 16-foot long by 7.5-foot tall deployable rooftop tent that neatly folds away when driving.
