For off-road driving enthusiasts, investing in the right vehicle is a crucial detail that needs to be nailed. While big SUVs with all-wheel-drive, like the Cadillac Escalade, may look right for the job, the on-road geared SUV would struggle to deal with commanding obstacles due to being shipped with a lack of protective body and underside equipment. It also lacks low-range mode, which increases torque at low rpm for climbing over things. You can also use low-range and engine compression to control downhill speed.
