10 Vehicles That Can Withstand Potholes & 10 That Would Never Survive


Potholes are a headache for drivers and a real test of a vehicle’s build and suspension. In this video we highlight ten vehicles known for handling potholes with ease thanks to sturdy construction, solid suspension travel, and generous ground clearance. From rugged off-roaders like the Jeep Wrangler and Toyota Land Cruiser to versatile crossovers like the Subaru Outback and capable trucks like the GMC Sierra AT4 and Nissan Frontier PRO-4X these vehicles offer smooth travel over rough streets and uneven surfaces. We also look at ten cars that struggle with potholes. Smaller vehicles with low ride height, stiff sport suspensions, or low-profile tires such as the Smart Fortwo, Mini Cooper Convertible, Tesla Model 3, and Mazda MX-5 Miata are especially vulnerable, often resulting in bent rims, alignment problems, or costly wheel damage. Whether you live in an area with rough roads or just want peace of mind behind the wheel this guide shows which vehicles hold up and which ones might leave you repairing tires or suspension more often
