Looking for the best SUV, crossover or pickup? 22 vehicles compete for the title in Mudfest 2023, a two-day battle royale put on by the Northwest Automotive Press Association. There are categories for 2-row, 3-row, luxury, extreme capability, value, and for the first time, electrified. So we have you covered, from the $30,000 Subaru Crosstrek to the $452,000 Rolls-Royce Cullinan. Tom Voelk travels to The Ridge Motorsports Park in Shelton, WA to drive pickups and SUVs on-pavement and off to determine the Northwest Outdoor Vehicle of the Year. And this time it’s a bit of an upset.

Special thanks to The Ridge Motorsports Park, Page One, Drive Shop, Alderbook Resort, and the members of the Northwest Automotive Press Association for their hard work in making Mudfest 2023 a huge success.
