Off-Road Specs & Features

Here’s a list of off-road specs and features available with our vehicles here at Warrenton Toyota:

Off-Road Protection

When it comes to crushing obstacles on the road, protecting your vehicle is vital. Here at Warrenton Toyota, many of our off-road vehicles are equipped with a selection of skid plates, robust bumpers, and strong body cladding. These features guard your vehicle from anything you may come across on the road and allow you to continue your adventure with confidence.

Off-Road Tires

When you’re prepping for your next outing, it’s important to consider what type of terrain you’ll be going across. Is it snowing? Are you doing donuts in sand dunes? Select models are equipped with off-road tires to help you navigate through any road safely and with the utmost stability. Off-road tires provide that extra grip and control when it comes to those dicey and daredevil-type drives.

Axle Articulation and Understanding RTI (Ramp Travel Index)

For trails that are anything but smooth, you need a vehicle with high axle articulation to take all those bumps out of the road for you. The wheels will move up and down separately from the vehicle to maintain contact with uneven terrain and improve stability. This gives you a higher RTI score.

Locking Differential

To avoid getting stuck in those twisty backroad turns and narrow canyon passes, you need a vehicle equipped with a locking differential. A locking differential keeps your wheels spinning at the same speed for better traction. This ensures you don’t get stuck in those tricky situations.

Drivetrains

The type of drivetrain you have can be the difference between safe and powerful driving and slipping into a dangerous situation. For off-roading, a vehicle with four-wheel drive or all-wheel drive is vital.

High Ground Clearance

To protect your vehicle from damage caused by your thrill-seeking adventures, you’re going to need a high ground clearance. More space between the ground and the bottom of your vehicle gives you the freedom to explore stress-free. Trust our vehicles to take you all the places you’ve wanted to go.

Water Fording Depth

Is there a creek you need to cross to get to your destination? Not sure if your vehicle can handle it? You’ll need to know various factors like air intake position, ground clearance, and engine protection to be sure your vehicle can safely cross.

Departure, Break-Over, and Approach Angles

If you’re scaling a steep incline, your vehicle is going to need to have departure, break-over, and approach angles that can handle it. Approach angles show you if your vehicle can take on those intimidating inclines, and break-over angles help you “get over the hill” without getting stuck. The departure angle then tells you if your vehicle can handle the descent.

Quality Suspension

Getting over obstacles and rough roads is a breeze when you have a quality suspension to absorb all the imperfections you’ll run over. Browse our off-road vehicles and choose a suspension system that turns that unruly road into a smooth-paved highway.
