Close your eyes and just picture yourself being seated; all strapped up in a rollercoaster and all you could do is scream your lungs out. The louder the better. Even if you tried to shake off that memory, it’s a bit hard as the adrenaline rush is way too much. Now relax for a moment and ask yourself “Is this the ultimate rush?”. Is this the borderline of a true adrenaline junkie and obviously you are greeted with a simple, big fat “NO”.
Dune-bashing is one such madness for every thrill seeker and the “Land Of Sheikhs” is no exception. The videos of cars jumping from dune to dune-like its “Hot Wheels” always made millions of thrill seekers fall in love with it. If you are a newbie to this sport, then the name “DUBAI” has written all over it and will always continue to echo through history. People always wondered “Are these real cars or are they made up of adamantium” as they sure can fly and take a hit.
Is Dubai really investing in futuristic prototypes or has Tony Stark agreed to step in?
Well, we are going to debunk those questions by revealing the cars in circulation for dune-bashing. Hold your horses as these are all stock models by famous companies and nothing fancy here, just plain old SUV’s with some goddamn muscles in them.
So if you happened to have a mindset of a stallion who wish to roam in the fiery desert, then you should have one of these or you can have them all. So here are the top cars for dune-bashing(our favourites).
- Jeep Wrangler
- Nissan Frontier PRO-4X
- Ford F-150
- Land Cruiser
There ain’t any specific order for the best cars for Dubai Desert Safari, but this is a pretty important one.
Jeep Wrangler: Rubicon Hard Rock Edition
When an insane collection of off-road duty parts came together in the TJ version of Jeep Wrangler in 2003, it was exactly what every four-wheeler enthusiast had been dreaming all their life. It's like the most sought out list of components which had been built into jeep’s most capable platform.
For more than a decade since the Wrangler Rubicon has been the benchmark 4WD SUV, Hard Rock-Edition took its place now. Today’s rubicon package adds lastest and upgraded hardware such as Dana 44 axles, a 4:1 transfer case for easy slow-speed crawling and the jeep think tank is aspiring for more.
Nissan Frontier Pro-4X
The 2016 Nissan Frontier PRO-4X mid-size pickup truck is the best all-around package for those who have an ache in their heart to blast the asphalt behind. The Nissan Frontier PRO-4X package includes Bilstein off-road dampers, skid plates to protect delicate components underneath the chassis a lacking differential out back.
Knobby BFGoodrich tyres and of course four-wheel drive. All versions of the PRO-4X Nissan come with a robust 4.0-litre V-6 engine that generates 261 HP and 281 lb-ft of torque, yoked to either a six-speed manual or 5-speed automatic transmission.
Ford F-150
The 2016 Ford F-150 full-size pickup truck is designed around a lightweight aluminium body with glues and riveted panels, over a high strength steel frame. If it doesn’t sound that durable, then ford used to make Land Rovers with a similar procedure.
The 2016 F-150 offers a choice of four drivetrains all of which are mated to 6-speed automatic gearboxes. The FX4 package includes upgraded shocks, skid plates and an electronically locking rear axle for hardcore off-roaders.
Toyota Land Cruiser
Few nameplates are as synonymous with off-roading as the Land Cruiser. As Toyota's flagship SUV has grown in size, prize and amenities, the company has been careful to retain the big UTE’s talents for slogging through rough terrain. The Land Cruiser packs a mammoth 5.7 litre 381 HP V-8. To float over the daring trails, the Toyota uses plush- riding independent front and coil-long solid axle rear suspension engineered for increased articulation.
The basis of that system comes from Toyota's Kinetic Dynamic Suspension which automatically allows for more suspension movement in low-speed, off-road conditions, then tighten up as it senses leap at higher road speeds.
