3 of Chevy’s Best Off-Roading Vehicles

If you’re in the market for a new adventure-mobile, you’ll want to head down to your local Chevy dealer first! Boasting dependable and torquey powerplants, advanced 4-wheel/all-wheel drive systems, and well-tuned suspension setups, Chevy’s lineup offers some of the best off-roading vehicles around. Here are just a few examples!

At Your Chevy Dealer: 3 of Chevy’s Best Off-Roading Vehicles

1. 2024 Chevrolet Blazer

While its standard 228-hp 2.0L turbo inline-4 engine offers impressive capability, the muscular Blazer offers an even more powerful 3.6L V6 engine, generating 308 hp and 270 lb-ft of toque. This extra performance combines with available all-wheel drive to turn the mid-sized crossover into an impressive off-roader. AWD is active at all times and constantly varies torque between both axles to provide optimum traction in a variety of conditions.

Enthusiasts should definitely consider the Blazer’s RS trim, which comes standard with advanced twin-clutch packs when equipped with AWD. These packs enable the powertrain to send most available to torque to a single rear wheel, further enhancing grip. Other available features that outdoorsy types will appreciate include a heavy-duty engine cooling system, tow/haul and snow/ice driving modes, and a cabin offering over 64 cubic feet of cargo space.

2. 2024 Chevrolet Colorado

Sporting chiseled, yet sleek styling, the Colorado backs up its looks with outstanding performance over rough terrain. Under its hood is a turbocharged 2.7L inline-4 engine that produces up to 310 hp and 430 lb-ft of torque. An 8-speed automatic transmission quickly and smoothly delivers plenty of low-end torque so that you can power through mud and sand with confidence.

Every Colorado is available with a robust 4-wheel drive system featuring a single-speed transfer case with multiple modes, such as 2WD HI, 4WD Auto, and 4WD HI, which helps maintain higher torque levels. The 4WD version of the truck can also tow 6,000 pounds, and its durable bed offers 17 tie-downs.

3. 2024 Chevrolet Silverado 1500

For those looking to haul heavier loads through rugged environments, this is a full-sized truck that you can count on! Whether you stay with the standard 310-hp 2.7L turbo inline-4 or go with the available 420-hp 6.2L V8, you’ll enjoy strong acceleration and trail-conquering torque. Like the Colorado, all Silverado 1500s can be had with 4-wheel drive, plus buyers can add full-locking front and rear differentials that greatly reduce wheel slip.

Along with an independent front suspension, the Silverado 1500 has a standard ground clearance of 8.1 inches, but the LT Trail Boss model can raise it higher with an available 2-inch suspension lift.

From rocky trails to sandy dunes, you can go just about anywhere when you’re in Chevy! Head down to Service Chevrolet in Lafayette, LA today, where you can experience these and other great models!
