Road Rules: The Quest is the tenth season of Road Rules. It first aired on MTV in 2001, and featured six strangers chosen to compete in missions, while living in a RV. In this particular season, the contestants drove their RV to missions in Morocco and Spain. The season also was the first to have a rule where the cast would potentially have to vote a cast member off if the cast failed to meet a certain set of rules pertaining to successful missions completed. This season of Road Rules was the first and only season to be preceded by a casting special in which 20 potential cast members for The Real World and Road Rules spent time together for a week to see how they interacted to be selected for one of the two shows.

Memorable moments
- On one of the first mission, Ellen had rocks thrown at her by residents of Marrakech. Adam tried to tell Ellen that it was because she was wearing shorts (considered revealing clothing in an Islamic country), which led Ellen to reveal that she had been raped and hadn't fully come to terms with it.
- Adam and Jisela got into a fight while staying at a hotel after a mission.
- Due to her fear of heights, Jisela froze during a rock-climbing mission in southern Spain, and the other contestants were forced to vote her off. Katie, who was an alternate from the season's casting special, replaced Jisela and joined the group in Spain.
- After Jisela was kicked off, Sophia made phone calls to Jisela using a pseudonym so the rest of the cast wouldn't know that she was still speaking to her.
- Katie excoriates Adam after she joins the cast, and Adam tries to force her to fall in line under his leadership.
- Adam and Ellen are in a rocky relationship throughout the entire season, which causes a few arguments between them.
After filming
- This was also the first season of Road Rules whose entire cast has at one time or another competed in MTV's spin-off reality series The Challenge.
