There are plenty of off-roading opportunities around the Boise area, and even more if you are willing to travel outside the Treasure Valley. If you are in the market for the best used cars Boise has to offer for off-roading, there are a few standout options to look for. Whether you want an off-roading truck or SUV, here are a few used vehicles well-renowned for their off-road capabilities.
2010-2014 Nissan Xterra
The Nissan Xterra is built for durability, which means off-road fun for you. It’s not big, but you can store plenty of gear and still sleep in it. A V6 engine with an optional 6-speed manual transmission means it’s fairly inexpensive to keep in working shape. It’s fun, compact, and perfect for rugged outdoor adventures, even if it doesn’t have the best city mileage. Try to find a 2014 PRO-4X model, the top-of-the-line model from that year.
2017-2020 Jeep Wrangler
Walk into just about any of the best used car dealerships Boise offers, and chances are you’ll find a Jeep Wrangler. There’s a debate about whether you should go with the older JK models or the newer JL models, but you will be well-served by either. With a 2017 JL, you can get a 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 pushing 285 horsepower and the Rock-Trac HD part-time 4WD system. You can also get a 5-speed manual. The JK, however, has plenty of updates to make it more comfortable. If you can, get a Rubicon trim, which features higher ground clearance, 4-wheel drive, big all-terrain tires, and traction-enhancing features perfect for off-roading.
2017-2020 Ford F-150 Raptor
One of the most popular used trucks Boise residents gravitate towards is the Ford F-150. The Raptor version is excellent for off-roading, even if it is one of the larger vehicles on this list. Even with a factory tune, the 4WD pickup can mimic a Baja 1000 race truck thanks to a powerful turbocharged engine and a sophisticated suspension. The 2017 model starts with a 3.5-liter Ecoboost V6 with 365 horsepower and 420 pound-feet of torque, while the 2019 versions feature upgraded shocks.
2015-2020 Toyota 4Runner TRD Pro
The 4Runner’s rugged design makes it perfect for tackling rocky terrain. It sacrifices comfort in some areas, especially older models, for off-roading capability, which is something to be aware of if you’re hoping your off-road vehicle can also be a comfortable family car. Your best bet is the TRD Pro trim, which gets you a locking rear differential, Bilstein shock absorbers, and extra protection with a skid plate.
2007-2014 Toyota FJ Cruiser
Want a weird, quirky option that off-road enthusiasts swear by? Try the Toyota FJ Cruiser. It offers solid performance both on and off the road, comes with the reliability Toyota is known for, and has a unique look to add to its charm. The enthusiast community is second to none on these cars, which were only available for 7 years in the U.S. Early model years with high mileage can often be found for fairly good prices, but 2012 to 2014 models can fetch a premium.
