Late summer and early fall are a popular time to get outdoors in many parts of the country, as the summer heat begins to give way to cooler, more pleasant temperatures. The days are still long enough with plenty of sunlight to enjoy our favorite outdoor activities, such as hiking, cycling, and trips to the state and national parks. For many, autumn is prime time for camping due to the milder overnight temperatures and scenic foliage in many regions of the country.

If you’re considering a vehicle to help you get to your outdoor destinations, you might be wondering what type of model is best suited for your preferred activities. Trucks and the outdoors go together, but you might not need a full-size truck unless you're planning on towing a large boat or trailer. If you prefer to camp in a tent, or take day trips, an affordable hatchback, crossover, or SUV will likely meet your needs, while offering better fuel efficiency. In fact, hatchbacks like many Subaru models make for great outdoor options and can hold their own in mild off-pavement driving. Jeeps, such as the Cherokee and Compass are also great options for their versatility and light off-road capability. If you want the ultimate rock crawling off-road machine, you're better off considering a Jeep Wrangler, Jeep Gladiator, or another body-on-frame truck or SUV.
