El Capitan vs Denali

El Capitan is the better choice for technical off-road exploration — its rugged off-road suspension and 4WD system are purpose-built for backcountry access. Denali shines when you're bringing more gear or need to sleep three — the rear garage system is genuinely useful for bikes, boards, and just about anything else you can imagine. Both vans are 4WD/AWD and handle dirt roads without issue.
