Use in Recreation and Motorsport
Some highly modified SUVs, together with their more rugged off-road counterparts, are also used to explore places otherwise unreachable by other vehicles. In Australia, China, Europe, South Africa, South America and the United States at least, 4WD clubs have been formed for this purpose. Modified SUVs also take part in races, including the Paris-Dakar Rally, the Baja racing series, TREC events, King of the Hammers in California and the Australian Outback.
The Trophee Andros ice-racing series is another competition where SUVs participate as well.
Many 4×4 mud racing events and other activities take place throughout the US organized by clubs and associations.
