Guide to Off-Road Specs in Ocala, FL

Get Ready to Take On Anything

Ready to tackle the wilderness in a beast like the 2024 RAM 1500 TRX? If you're nodding along, you're in the right tribe. Off-roading isn't just about A to B; it's about conquering every bump, stream, and slope along the way. So, if you're gearing up for off-road adventures, let's break down the essential specs you need to know.

Tires & Traction:

Off-road vehicles rock beefy, oversized tires for more than just looks. These bad boys give you better traction, whether you're plowing through snow or cruising over sand dunes. With deep treads and durable rubber, off-road tires keep you gripping the ground like a pro.

Underbody Protection:

Pavement's got nothing on the off-road life. Rocks, branches, you name it – they're all out to mess up your ride. That's where skid plates, rock sliders, and sump guards come in, keeping your engine safe and sound while you conquer the wild.

Ground Clearance:

The higher the better! Ground clearance is all about how much space you've got between your ride and the ground. More clearance means less chance of getting stuck or scraped up on rough terrain.

Angles of Attack:

Departure, break-over, and approach angles are your best friends when it comes to navigating inclines and declines. They tell you how steep you can go without wrecking your ride's underside or front end.

Axle Articulation:

Have you ever seen a car's wheels flexing like a yoga pro? That's axle articulation at work, keeping all wheels on the ground and ready to roll over obstacles. Axle articulation is when your wheels move up and down to maintain grip on the ground.

Drivetrain:

Front-wheel drive, rear-wheel drive, all-wheel drive, 4-wheel drive – what's your pick? When it comes to off-roading, AWD or 4WD are your go-to for ultimate traction and control.

Water Fording

Depth:

Taking a dip? Make sure you know your ride's water fording depth. It's the safe limit for driving through water without drowning your engine.
