Dodge Power Wagon
Chevrolet Suburban
First and foremost, the Suburban has an incredible legacy and was first introduced in 1935. Current models are capable off-roaders and are powered by a 5.3-liter V8 engine coupled to a six-speed gearbox. This is a big vehicle, so will struggle on tighter off-road sections but it has ample ground clearance, around 8-inches and can handle rocky terrain.

Also known as the Super Scout II, this American off-roader was a direct competitor to the Jeep CJ. Much like the Toyota FJ40 Land Cruiser, the Safari II could hit the trails without any modifications of any kind. It has a massive wheelbase – 106.5 inches – as well as a V-8 motor with a manual transmission.

Ford Bronco
The first 4x4 Bronco hit the trails in 1966 and between that year and 1977, proved to be a more than capable off-roader. It was blessed with a turning circle of just 33.8 feet, thanks to a wheelbase of 92-inches. Later models also included a Ford V8 engine with incredible torque.

The first luxury 4x4 sold by Jeep, Wagoneers were produced for a period of 28 years, from 1963 to 1991. Even though this was a massive vehicle, the 4x4 performed admirably off-road and even won the Sno*Drift Rally of 1974.

Chevrolet C Series

Jeep Wrangler Rubicon
Regarded as one of the best off-roaders ever produced by Jeep, the Rubicon’s compact nature means it can often go where bigger off-roaders can’t. Those tucked away, tight trails – this is where the Rubicon will excel. It offers excellent tires, six-speed gearbox with a 4:1 transfer case and an inline six-cylinder engine capable of producing all the torque you will ever need.

Willys CJ-2A
The civilian version of the original Willys MB (or Jeep) that served in the American military, the CJ-2A is easily identified thanks to that iconic grill. This vehicle, although powered by a small engine developing 60 brake horsepower, is light, nimble and surprisingly quick.

A pickup truck with a living space on the back, the Blazer Chalet combined some off-roading with camping. The chalet section, which slept two people, was made by Chinook and neatly slid into place. 2000 Blazer Chalet models were made.

What American truck is shown in this image?
Hudson Big Boy C28
Willys Jeep
Hummer H1
A civilian version of the Humvee military vehicle, the Hummer H1 would then obviously be more than capable as an off-roader. And it is, but with limitations. In fact, some H1 owners went as far as changing out the standard 6.5-liter diesel engine and replacing it with something to provide more speed. Another disadvantage is that the H1 is a massive vehicle. You need a large open off-road track for this behemoth.

First released in 1948, without a doubt, the F-Series by Ford is the most iconic pick-up in U.S. motoring history. Over the past 30 years, the F-150 has outsold every other competitor each and every year. And it's not difficult to see why. Now a thoroughly modern brand, the F-150 keeps that incredible personality of its predecessors.

Built in the late '50s, the Sweptside was marketed as the truck of the future. In reality, Dodge truck sales were insignificant and the Sweptside actually used car parts from other Dodge models. In fact, the Sweptside even featured large tailfins so popular at the time. Although it was certainly different, the Sweptside never made a dent in the pickup market and was shelved in 1959.

Although its design (effectively brick shaped) only allowed a top speed of 65 mph, the FC-150 certainly is something to behold. Built on the same wheelbase as the CJ-5, the FC-150 looked far bigger thanks to the massive cab put on top of it. It handled well, gave an excellent view of surroundings and was capable off-road.
