Offroad Buddy's Class A–D system rates vehicle ground clearance from stock builds (9") to extreme rigs (14"+), helping you match your specific vehicle to trails you can actually complete — without guessing at ground clearance specs.
5 practical tips to get accurate GPS tracking on off-road trails: satellite warm-up before recording, optimal iPhone mounting, battery management, offline map caching, and how to read your recorded track correctly.
Offroad Buddy rates trails A–F using real telemetry data — recorded pitch, roll, and clearance class — so you can assess any trail objectively before you commit. Learn what each rating means and how seasonal conditions change the equation.
