    Well, I’d say a 2016-2024 Gen 5 in the SR5 trim would do the trick! Welcome to the forum!

    Suggestions for a vehicle or trails near Chicago?

    Would go with 5th Gen for a vehicle, trim would be what suits your needs the best. After getting that figured out, You can then start small and work up on your trails at your leisure.

    I live in Orland Park so not far from you. There are no nice off roading places here. There is a trail in galena that runs 300 miles up to Wisconsin but usually we head to Michigan.
