Land Rover Off-Roading Checklist

Part of the fun of owning a Land Rover is exploring its rugged off-road capabilities. Still, even with an off-road performance vehicle, there are plenty of things to consider before hitting the trails. In order to have a safe and enjoyable time, we created this quick checklist for you Fort Worth drivers so you can head off-road with confidence.

Our Top Off-Roading Tips

• Know the Rules: Find out where it is legal to off-road in your area. Many public areas can be off limits so you may need to look for an off-road park or private land.
• Understand Your Limits: Understanding your vehicle and the limits of your off-roading expertise can go a long way to prevent getting stuck or other emergencies. Know when to shift into 4WD or lock the center differential in an AWD vehicle.
• Stay Connected: In case you can’t make it out, or another issue arises, it is important to have a fully charged cell phone with you.
• Make sure to bring along a car charger or backup battery if you are planning for a long day out.
• Come Prepared: Even for seasoned drivers, it’s not uncommon to get stuck while off-roading. Make sure you have the necessary gear to get out like a winch kit, traction mats, tire inflator/deflator, a folding shovel, and a hi-lift jack.
• Gas up Your Land Rover: One easy way to avoid being accidentally stranded is to make sure you have a full tank of gas when you head to the trails.
• Bring Snacks: There is a good chance you won’t have access to food and water while off-roading, so make sure you bring some.
