Off-road vehicle

Driving off-road in Patagonia

An off-road vehicle is generally any type of vehicle which can be used for driving on and off paved or gravel surface.[1] Off-road vehicles generally have large tires with deep, open treads and a flexible suspension.[2] Off-road vehicles should not be confused with off-highway vehicles. These are not designed to be used on highways and are capable of traveling cross-country over rough land, marsh, swamps, ice or snow.[3]
