The new car industry doesn’t want to acknowledge this, but the best off-roader is probably not a Jeep Wrangler Rubicon, Bronco Raptor, Mercedes G-Wagon, or some other shiny six-figure vehicle full of oversized tires and fancy tech.

It turns out George was driving a 1919 Dodge Model 10, making it 27 years old at the…

But after that, there is a little shakeup. Typically, Ram trucks are in third place, but as of right now, the list looks…
