Dune buggy, e.g., in brief

ATV

["Think of a rugged vehicle often used for off-road adventures, commonly seen on trails or farms—its name is an abbreviation."]

This clue plays on the idea of a "dune buggy" as a type of off-road vehicle, then hints at a shorter term for it. "In brief" signals that the answer is an abbreviation, and "ATV" (all-terrain vehicle) fits as a common shorthand for vehicles like dune buggies. The clue avoids directly naming the answer but points to it through the category and the need for brevity.
