Been looking at newer used compact SUVs with an eye towards offroad capabilities in the event of a temporary WROL situation.
Saw a review of a Nissan Rogue AWD that did pretty O.K. on a rougher trail and another on soft sand. I think it has around 8.5" ground clearance but not so good approach and departure angles.
I like the Rogue because it gets pretty good gas mileage as well.
Subaru would be another costlier choice as well as the Escape on the cheaper end.
Again looking for a mostly daily driver that could leave the road if I need to take an "ALTERNATE" route when the SHTF and maybe handle a level worse than a forest service road without tearing the underside apart.
Any experience with these vehicle types off the beaten path?
