Morphology
off-roader = off-road (transparent) = off + road + er
The agentive/item-forming suffix '-er' added to the clear compound 'off-road' yields a vehicle or person for off-road use, which is directly inferable.
Etymology
Off-roader comes from the simple parts off and road, where off means 'away from' and road means 'a path for vehicles'. So an off-roader is a vehicle made to go 'away from the road' onto rough ground like dirt or rocks.
