What's the best car or suv that is good for offroading, strong tires, decent gas mileage, sets higher off the ground

That's Easy. Suzuki Jimny. It's not sold everywhere, though. In the United States? Look for something by Ford or Toyota in a 4WD pickup truck platform, especially if you can get a 4-cylinder engine OR an inline 6 (not a V6)

For light off-road, as in a dirt or gravel road, a Subaru Forester would meet needs. Fuel efficiency is the issue as I’d be inclined to go with a 4 Runner or Land Cruiser, but they are not known for fuel efficiency.

Biggest selling large SUV 4 x 4 in Australia and has been for over 8 years
