The world of Grand Theft Auto Online has been evolving since its inception. Players have made the world their own, and with many changes over the years, Grand Theft Auto has become a giant in the gaming world. Thanks to the success of GTA Online, the gaming world has followed the success and made their own versions that encourage the same gameplay. What makes GTA Online so compelling for new and old players is the wide variety of options. From where they can live to what they wear, everything is centered around giving the player all the choices in the world.
Another choice is the vehicles, which make up a huge part of the game. Most aspects of GTA Online require a vehicle or two to get jobs done, so it makes sense for players to spend more time looking into what suits their needs. Vehicles come in different forms like boats, planes, very reliable bikes, and normal cars. Within those categories, there are subcategories. Off-road vehicles, for example, allow players to go where they can't be chased, or to have chases through the different terrains. These off-road vehicles can be hard to drive, but this list should help players pick the ones that make driving easier.

8 Nagasaki BF400- $95,000

Some of these areas are hard to reach, like the Vinewood sign, and the best way to get there is by bike. Since Grand Theft Auto: Online features many classes of bikes, players should opt for the off-road ones.

6 Canis Kamacho - $345,000
Players who want a tank but don't want to spend that much money should look into buying this Jeep. Since it can be modified to what the player wants, the Canis Kamacho is a vehicle players should have in their garage. While not the quickest, only going just above 116 mph, this Jeep still stands out. Players can use the Kamacho for many things, including heists, races, and everything in between.
The reason why it's a good multipurpose vehicle, as mentioned before, is because of how much the player can tailor the vehicle for their needs.

Much like the Maxwell Vagrant, the Trophy Truck has it all: good top speed, good acceleration, and great handling. The best part is that players don't need to dish out much money. The Trophy Truck shows off one of the many great things that GTA Online does: players don't really need to spend a ridiculous amount of money for a reliable and dependable vehicle.
The Trophy Truck is a great first off-road vehicle. With upgrades, the Trophy Truck will help players cover the terrain of Los Santos. Since the beaten paths in GTA Online are all over the place, the Trophy Truck makes areas that are hard to drive more manageable. Players should note that if they want to achieve the best with this off-road vehicle, they should not fully upgrade everything. The Trophy Truck is a great drive even without the upgrades.
4 Vapid Desert Raid - $695,000
The Desert Raid is an overall reliable vehicle and also quite impressive in the speed department. The Vapid brand in GTA Online has boasted some great cars in most classes, like the muscle car class, so a lot of those attributes that make those cars great have been applied to the Desert Raid. Much like the Vagrant, the Desert Raid sufferers heavily in braking. However, its top speed and acceleration make up for that fault. Races are where the Desert Raid will outshine most other vehicles in this class.
Players can choose to upgrade the Desert Raid, which will only make things better for this vehicle. However, if players want to upgrade the Desert Raid, they should look into making the braking more manageable, since it acts differently on normal roads. While it is expensive, most jobs give a large amount of reward money, especially if playing with friends.
3 Nagasaki Outlaw - $1,268,000
The Nagasaki Outlaw is one of those vehicles that players should have regardless of their class. Players will notice how fast the off-road vehicle is at the jump, which is perfect for racing. GTA Online has some very expensive vehicles, the Outlaw being one of them, and it performs well for the price given. It is great at gaining speed quickly at the start. It can also handle jumps so that if players fly off in a random direction because of the terrain during a race, the handling can fix that error quickly.
For top speeds, players should look to upgrading. With going above 90mph, players will get a head start but over time other players will catch up and overtake, so players should upgrade the top speed. When things are upgraded for the Outlaw, the vehicle becomes more balanced.
2 Maxwell Vagrant - $2,214,000
Off-road vehicles aren't known for being balanced. However, the Maxwell Vagrant will surprise players by being fast and also quite easy to handle, making it one of the better choices. When off-road conditions get unpredictable, players should have a vehicle that can compensate for those surprises. Although braking suffers, the Vagrant's handling makes up for it. Going at tops speeds of almost 125mph, the Vagrant can turn on a dime even off-road.
Even when racing, players should pick the Vagrant, because it's the safer bet. Even with a low braking stat, the off-road terrain can help slow down the vehicle to benefit the player. Since the Vagrant is one of the more expensive off-road vehicles, players can do most of the new Franklin missions, which award players a higher than normal amount of money.
1 BF Ramp Buggy - $3,192,000
This buggy is unique in how it looks. The top is a ramp, so players can make others fly off without taking much or any damage. Because of that, this buggy works well for everything that isn't a race. Players who are looking to buy the BF Ramp Buggy will be dropping a lot of cash; however, it'll be worth it.
Its stats show that it's one of the best vehicles out of all the classes, and one of the best vehicles players can get in GTA Online as a whole. While most of the vehicles on this list have braking issues, the BF Ramp Buggy is an all-around great vehicle. Its top speeds are around 113mph with excellent handling. Not only that — this buggy works both on rough terrain and the normal streets in Los Santos. It's a great multipurpose vehicle that's not only fun to drive but also an easy one too.
