Which SUV models are best for camping?

Before purchasing a vehicle, it is important to consider the kinds of activities you like so you can make sure to invest in a ride that offers the right capability. For active drivers who like to camp in the summertime, cargo space, towing and off-road capability, and room for passengers and the gear that comes with them are important. Find our list of the top 3 SUVs for weekend travel below.

3 SUV Models with Off-Road Capability for Weekend Travel

Chevy Tahoe

With room for seven to nine passengers depending on trim level and up to 94.7 cubic feet of cargo space, the 2018 Chevy Tahoe provides all the room you could ever need for family travel. A 5.3-liter V8 engine rated at 355 horsepower and 383 pound-feet of torque is capable of towing up to 8,600-pounds when properly equipped, so you can also bring the boat.

Ford Expedition

Best-in-class legroom on the 2018 Ford Expedition means that passengers in all rows can be comfortable for long drives. Available connectivity options like Apple CarPlay and wireless charging keep everyone entertained. A cargo space with 104.6 cubic feet of room and a max towing capacity of 9,300-pounds when properly equipped means the 2018 Expedition is plenty powerful to accommodate any toys you want to bring with.

Jeep Grand Cherokee

With 11 available trim levels including some configurations specifically tailored to off-roading and trail climbing, the 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee has a model tailored to whatever weekend travel you have in mind. With seating for up to five and a max towing capacity of 7,200-pounds when properly equipped, the 2018 Grand Cherokee isn’t the largest on this list, but it is the most capable if you plan on going far off the beaten path.
