Choosing the best off-road vehicle to acquire can be quite challenging with all the latest and trending vehicles available. With the best value for their hard-earned money in mind, one has to really look into what they will be getting. Here are ten choices that are considered top of the line in its genre just to give you an idea of what is out there in the market.

2013 Wrangler

The 2013 Jeep Wrangler proves you don’t have to follow trends to achieve sales success. Today’s SUV class is populated by car-based, city-friendly crossovers, but back when the segment first launched, those first models were rough-and-tumble rock climbers ready for anything. The Wrangler remains a rare holdout that still ascribes to this original formula, and its uniquely rugged personality has won it a consistent and fiercely loyal following.

Price Range: 108,000 – 127,000 AED

 

2013 Toyota Prado

It is slightly smaller on the outside, though still bigger than most of the other offerings in this price bracket.

True to its LC heritage, it carries a lot of muscle and flab all around, though it manages to look sleeker while still retaining its jaw dropping looks. The big, pulled back headlamps look fresh with the twin-barrel effect while the huge grille with vertical chrome slots can make toddlers shriek. But all this seems to work for the ones looking for an ego massage on the go. The insides get the full leather treatment, though they look overly black, not a bad thing in my opinion.

Price Range: 145,000 – 210,000 AED

 

2013 Chevrolet Tahoe

Full-size, truck-based SUVs are becoming an increasingly rare sight in showrooms, and understandably so. Not many folks really need the immense capabilities of a pure utility vehicle and are thus better served by more space- and fuel-efficient crossovers. However, there are still those who have horse trailers, boats, campers and other heavy things to lug around, plus they often have snow, mud or slippery boat ramps in their lives. And for them, the 2013 Chevrolet Tahoe makes perfect sense.

Price Range: 166,000 – 215,000 AED

 

2013 Ford Explorer

The 2013 Ford Explorer receives a new performance-oriented Sport trim level that features a turbocharged engine and sport-tuned suspension. All Explorers this year have a new front passenger knee airbag, while a heated steering wheel, a power tilt-and-telescoping steering column and lane-departure warning with lane-keeping assist are offered for the Limited trim level. The available xenon headlights now feature automatic high-beam control.

Price Range: 120,000 – 210,000 AED

 

2013 Toyota Land Cruiser

Since the introduction of the FJ40 in 1960, the Land Cruiser has assumed the kind of cult status that parallels other 4×4 legends from Jeep and Land Rover. Like those icons, the Land Cruiser has always gone places normal vehicles can’t tackle and, not surprisingly, the Toyota is also heralded as the most reliable in this exclusive group.

Price Range: 185,000 – 307,000 AED
