I did a lot of dirt and gravel road driving in small rear-wheel drive sedans back in the 70's and 80's (I really needed some small truck tires, as the passenger tires always found a sharp rock). I cannot think of anything that would work well today, other than a compact 4-cylinder pickup, but those are hard to find now.

A Suzuki Samurai or Sideckick (Geo Tracker) seems to be the best overall choice. There are also diesel conversions that give power where it is needed and tremendous range. It is hard to find vehicles that have not been butchered for rock crawling, but they do exist.

You might also try a Baja bug. A Thing would be nice, but they are collector's items now.
