How Do You Calculate Your Trail Power Needs?
Here’s the reality of the “how much power do I need when offroading” question: there's no universal answer.
Your Toyota setup will have different requirements than your buddy's Bronco rig, and weekend warriors have different needs than those tackling multi-week expeditions.
The first step is understanding all your trail essentials – be it your ARB fridge and camp lights or your recovery winch and communication devices. Everything is extremely power-hungry.


As overlanding and off-roading continue to surge in popularity, more and more outdoor enthusiasts are heading out on adventures that take them deep into the backcountry. Getting far away from cell service and heavily traveled trails is much of the appeal.
However, this also leads to increased wildfire risk exposure. With massive fires raging more frequently across the Western United States and other overlanding hotspots, having proper fire awareness is absolutely critical before embarking on your next big trip.
