i dont know if alot of people here have experience with offroad but i do i would reccomend maybe a old jeep cherokee or a older 4x4 truck you dont want to be driving a brand new 2015 chevrolet silverado z71 off road even thought thats what the z71 package is for the truck would still be to nice to treat that way. have you ever looked at the chevrolet s10 Zr2 edition? they come stock with 3 inch factory lifts all terrrain tires skid plates underneath so if you bottom out it protects vital parts underneath fender flars over the wheel wells and boxed renforced frame for heavy uneven offroad terrain and factory hitches for pulling shit around
