Off-road vehicles are designed to be driven across natural terrain, including sand, gravel, mud, rocks, streams, swamplands, snow, and other natural features and obstacles that begin when the pavement ends. These vehicles are generally characterized by having large tires with deep, open treads, a flexible suspension, or even caterpillar tracks. Here are some examples of off-road vehicles:

These vehicles have a low ground pressure, so as not to sink into soft ground, and they need a lot of ground clearance to not get stuck on obstacles. They accomplish this by having a suitable balance of large or additional tires combined with tall and flexible suspension.
