What is the best production off road vehicle?

What is the best production off road vehicle?
The most effective factory off road vehicle made (short of the Hummer H1) is the Jeep Rubicon. This vehicle is made for rock crawling. It comes standard with a 4 to 1 gear box which reduces the gear ratio in 4 wheel drive making it easier to crawl over obstacles at low speed. Other standards are cromealoy axle shafts which are much more durable than the standard ones (standard ones break easily when doing serious wheeling). Last but not least, the Rubicon offers Eaton electronic axle lockers in the front and rear, making all 4 wheels turn at the same speed with no slip, giving the driver more control on the scarier obstacles and a push button sway bar disconnect allowing greater axle articulation and more suspension travel.

the masterminds of this amazing factory option were the very same mechanical engineers that designed the new Jeep wrangler JK. Just a small group of four wheel fanatics that knew through trial and error what is most likely to break and talked the Jeep marketing people into trying out a package like this. This has since been the best selling model in the wrangler line.
