For those who have experienced it, there is nothing like the pleasure of pushing a vehicle to its limits on an off-road trail. Climbing over rocks, rushing through a dry riverbed, or bashing through dunes can be some of the most exhilarating enjoyment you will ever have in a motor vehicle. However, you need to make sure that the vehicle you are riding in is properly equipped, which is why it is crucial to find a dealership that specializes in off road vehicle sales. At Orange Coast Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram Fiat, our team of salespeople is well versed in selling off-road vehicles to drivers like you because we have the privilege of selling vehicles from America’s best off-road automaker, Jeep. Only Jeep has a lineup where every model has at least one trim that is ideal for off-roading. This is because it has a 4x4 drivetrain and other features that allow it to stand up to the rigors of the trail.
As an authorized Jeep dealership, we can get you a new Jeep model that is ready for off-roading right off the lot. Jeep has a program called Trail Rated, which is more than just a pretty badge located on your Jeep’s rear bumper. Trail Rated means that the Jeep model has been put through tests involving traction, maneuverability, articulation, ground clearance, and water fording, so you have peace of mind that your Jeep can handle whatever Mother Nature throws in the way. We also carry a vast inventory of used Jeep models, including many that are off-road ready and Trail Rated. This is why you should consider coming here when you are ready for your next off-road vehicle.
Our dealership will get you behind the wheel of a brand new Jeep that is designed for off-roading. The key is that Jeep offers most of its models with four-wheel drive. While many people use this term interchangeably with all-wheel drive, they are, in fact, completely different. In all-wheel drive, a variable amount of torque is delivered to each of the vehicle’s axles, usually automatically. While this will help with traction on the road, it does not deliver the control you need when off-roading. Four-wheel drive systems send horsepower to each axle through a transfer case, with the driver having the ability to switch this on and off depending on driving conditions. As a result, a four-wheel drivetrain is ideal for off-roading.
At Orange Coast CJDRF, you will find a full lineup of new Jeep models, including the compact Compass and Renegade SUVs, the midsize Cherokee and Grand Cherokee models, the Gladiator pickup truck, and the classic Wrangler and Wrangler Unlimited. While the Compass, Renegade, Cherokee, and Grand Cherokee also come with front-wheel drive versions, you can easily find one of these great vehicles at our dealership with four-wheel drive. With the Gladiator, Wrangler, and Wrangler Unlimited, you don’t have to make that choice since each of these three great models comes with four-wheel drive standard. In addition, we carry Jeeps that have been Trail Rated, so you will have no problem taking it to the limit in your new Jeep when you hit some of the most challenging trails in America.
In addition to the great off-road models offered by Jeep, we also carry the Ram 1500 TRX. This purpose-built off-road truck is taking the off-road world by storm with its aggressive looks and capabilities courtesy of standard beadlock-capable wheels and Bilstein Black Hawk e2 shock absorbers. Buying a new Ram 1500 TRX from Orange Coast CJDRF gives you the advantage of having a full-size pickup that was designed from the ground up for off-roading, unlike so many trucks from Ram’s competitors that require dealer-installed off-road equipment on a stock pickup truck.
Our years of selling off-road SUVs and trucks have given our dealership an expertise in new off-road models. When you come to Orange Coast CJDRF, you will find a team of folks who specialize in off-roading, so you can get the guidance you need in choosing the new off road vehicle that is best for you.

Jeep makes so many exceptional vehicles that are tops when it comes to off-roading. This is why it can often be difficult to choose the best ones among the Jeep lineup. One that truly stands out from the pack is the 2022 Wrangler Rubicon. Available in two-door and four-door versions, this off-road beast features locking front and rear differentials and front sway bar disconnect, making off-roading easier than ever. Its 4x4 system comes with a Rock-Trac Transfer Case that has a crawl ratio mode ideal for getting to the top of rock formations. Go for the Xtreme Recon Package with its 35-inch tires for the ultimate in off-road thrills.
The folks at Jeep took the world by storm when they introduced the Gladiator pickup truck a few years back. This 4x4 standard truck is ready for adventure, but the ultimate off-road model has to be the Willys trim. This features a standard Trac-Lok limited slip rear differential to help you get your truck out of the mud. The Cab Rock Rails will come in handy shielding your Gladiator from the rigors of the trail, while its 32-inch mud-terrain tires seem made for riverbeds.
If you want to go off-roading in style, then the 2022 Grand Cherokee Trailhawk is the Jeep for you. Its Quadra-Drive II 4x4 system with a two-speed low transfer case will detect any slippage in the vehicle’s wheels and instantly engage the electronic limited slip rear differential. Meanwhile, the front sway bar disconnect can let you drop and compress the front wheels for improved articulation when off-roading. Meanwhile, you get all the wonderful creature comforts of this luxurious midsize SUV.

Our years of experience have made our dealership a destination for drivers who want the latest in off road vehicles. As a result, most of them end up selling to us or trading in their old models when they buy a new one. This is why we have such a vast inventory of used and Certified Pre-Owned Jeep and Ram models that are perfect for off-roading.
When you buy a used off-roading vehicle from us, you will know that you are getting the best quality used vehicle at a very affordable price. Our salespeople will get to know exactly what you are looking for; whether it is a compact off-road model like a Jeep Renegade or Compass, a classic used Jeep Wrangler, or a used pickup that is perfect for off-roading like a Ram 1500 or Jeep Gladiator. No two off-roading models are exactly alike, and the key is to find one that is right for you. Some are purpose-built to maximize off-road capabilities, while others will work perfectly as a daily driver for your commute with solid fuel economy and then provide you with enough off-road capability to keep you and your friends thrilled all weekend long.
A great deal also comes down to your own experience. If you are fairly new at off-roading, then you might be best served by a used Jeep that has just enough off-road features so you can get a taste of what trail running is all about. Also, by buying a used model, you will save a great deal of money while still getting a great off-road capable vehicle. If you decide that the trail is your home, then you can always come back to our dealership and trade up for a new or used Jeep with more off-roading features. This is the advantage of dealing with an experienced, authorized Jeep dealer like Orange Coast CJDRF.
