In fact, you can trace that lineage for yourself by Googling up images of both and placing them side-by-side. Then, you’ll see that the appearance is nearly identical. However, the two aren’t that similar under the skin. Land Rover made hundreds of improvements over the years. That’s why many people who want a classic Land Rover but still prefer some modern features in a sturdy, off-road-friendly package pick a Defender. So, why not choose this plucky short-wheelbase 1987 Land Rover Defender as your off-road companion?

The Chevrolet Tahoe is the Bowtie brand’s full-size SUV offering. Since 1992, the Tahoe has represented a go-anywhere sport utility vehicle that could carry the average American family across the country in comfort, dog and all.

Take this first-generation 1997 Chevrolet Tahoe LT as a prime example. Extensively modified, this off-road ready beast has a significant 265,000 miles on the clock but don’t let that put you off.

This thing can take you to places other cars shiver at the mere thought of.
This 2017 Ford F-150 Shelby with just 55,000 miles is not for the faint of heart. For starters, it has been breathed upon by the legendary Ford tuning house, Shelby, and has a supercharger!

After all, the F-150 has been the best-selling vehicle in America for multiple years in a row — it’s safe to assume that Ford knows what they’re doing. Especially given that they’ve been producing the F-series since 1948.
