Off-Road Riders is an independent website about off-road vehicles, off-road accessories, tires and suspension, driving technique and vehicle preparation. We publish guides for 4×4, ATV and UTV owners preparing vehicles and learning off-road driving, with a focus on explaining off-road vehicles and equipment by rating and purpose, and teaching driving and recovery basics with safety first.
Who we are
Off-Road Riders launched in its current form in 2026 and is run by a small, independent editorial team. We are an online-only publication. We are not owned by, and do not work on behalf of, any manufacturer, brand or retailer, and no company reviews or approves our guides before they are published.
Websites that used the domain name offroadriders.org in earlier years were run by other people and are not connected to the current site or its content.
What we cover
Our guides are organized into these sections: Off-Road Vehicles, Off-Road Accessories, Tires and Suspension, Off-Road Driving and Maintenance and Preparation. Each guide explains what matters for a given situation, which trade-offs to expect and where its advice stops.
How we research
Our content is written by the Off-Road Riders editorial team. We base our guides on vehicle and equipment manufacturers’ owner’s manuals and ratings, the Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA), the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) ATV safety resources, Tread Lightly!, and land-management agencies such as the U.S. Forest Service and the Bureau of Land Management, and we link to the source when a guide states a figure or a safety point.
We are clear about the limits of our work. Unless an article explicitly describes our own use of a product, our guides are research-based and are not hands-on product tests. We do not invent test results, ratings or statistics. Read our Editorial Policy and How We Review for details.
Safety and scope
Off-road driving and vehicle recovery can cause serious injury or death. Use only rated recovery points and equipment within their working load limits, keep bystanders clear of straps and winch lines, wear helmets on ATVs and UTVs, and take hands-on training. Drive only on routes that are legally open to your vehicle, and turn back when conditions exceed your skills or your vehicle.
