A four wheel drive vehicle driving uphill through sand

Off-road driving conditions can vary widely depending on terrain and weather conditions.  Its challenges may require special skills and equipment (such as vehicle recovery equipment) or adjustments (such as tyre pressure).

It includes driving on sand, through water, on unpaved tracks and across open land.
