3 Off-roading Locations Near South Florida
Whether it’s transporting equipment for work, the need for a powerful vehicle for towing, or even if just the freedom to carry whatever cargo is needed, trucks are extremely versatile. But just because trucks are used to get heavy jobs things done, doesn’t mean they aren’t for play.
Though extremely capable when it comes to towing and transportation needs, the Ram 1500 Rebel and the Ram 2500 Power Wagon are also built for off-roading fun. Both the Ram Rebel and Ram Power Wagon are equipped with a 4×4 drivetrain, skid plates, off-road tires and a few other features that make them excellent for adventures off-the-beaten path. But, just because there may not be a place in South Florida to go off-roading, there are a few places within a few hours drive that you can get to test out your Ram truck’s off-road capabilities.
