What is an "off-road vehicle"?
An off-road vehicle is a type of vehicle designed for driving on rough, uneven, or unpaved surfaces, such as dirt, gravel, or mud. These vehicles have features that help them handle challenging terrains, like stronger tires, higher ground clearance, and specialized suspensions. Off-road vehicles are commonly used for outdoor activities like hiking, camping, or recreational driving, as well as in industries like construction and agriculture. They are built to be durable and able to operate in environments where regular vehicles might struggle.
Examples
