Welcome back to the Off the Road Again podcast! We’ve missed you. The focus is on off-road adventure but we also dabble in all things SUV and truck, maybe even some rally cars.
Ross and Chris discuss the latest from Jeep’s 4xe plug-in hybrids, the potential 300-series Land Cruiser twin-turbo V6 hybrid powertrain, GM bringing back Hummer, more ideas about what the 2021 Ford Bronco will be, the 2021 GMC Yukon/Yukon XL reveal, and what can go wrong when you wheel by yourself.
Ross discusses his new-to-him Quad that he bought. Chris talks about his butt/back and the padding that he had added to the Land Yacht‘s driver’s seat.
This week’s pictures/video notes include:
Jeep Wrangler 4xe Plug-in Hybrid
2021 Ford Bronco offroad tease
2021 GMC Yukon & Yukon XL
4Runner stuck on the playa

They might have the nomenclature for the Yukon wrong.
There isn’t a Yukon and a Yukon XL, there is a Yukon XL and a Yukon XXL.
Nice. Solid joke. 🙂
Yukon double-wide and triple-wide?
Very late, but just finished this podcast… On Land Cruiser diesels, the main thing is range which is hard to separate from fuel economy, but fire safety is a nice bonus. Long range fuel tanks are a thing though – there are some remote communities where you are not allowed to use jerry cans because they have serious problems with petrol sniffing.
Many people would not consider anything but diesel, but there is every chance that will change. The current Patrol is becoming more popular, plus a hybrid LC would help with range issues as regen would be useful in a lot of situations.
