Which 4x4 is best?

I asked this question on the Australian 4WD Action forum and boy did I open a can of worms not to mention a lot of smart **** remarks. My advice is to get hold of the Australian 4WD Action buyers guides. They cover a wide range of vehicles and offer some good advice for each model. Good luck.

I know of another V8 one that the interior trim was falling appart, I saw it myself and it only had 1800km's on the clock, door trims, seat stitching, head lining.

The 3IC at work has one(V6), just got a quote on getting it RWC to sell, $10000, it's stuffed mind you he hasnt looked after it very well my other mates one (also V6) got traded in on a falcon after it granaded the engine after having the timing belt done AT A FORD DEALER.

There is no doubt that someone had to get a good one, you must have been it but the rest were crap.

No offence but that's 2 that you know of, out of how many sold world wide, you do know that they are the MOST popular 4WD sold in the world, they even out sell the entire toyota range.

Mmmm seems i've heard this story before, oh sorry that was me defending the Land Rover on 4WDMonthly forum:2up::2up:

Everyone is going to have a different opinion. Like I said, check out the Australian 4WD Action buyer's guides. You can also get further information from vehicle reviews on the internet just by typing in something like Land Rover Discovery review or Nissan Patrol review as an example. You can narrow your choice of vehicle down to what you want it to do and what you expect to get out of it. There is no such thing as one single best 4x4. They all have their pros and cons. You will have to compromise on things like fuel economy, power, interior space etc. One is going to be thirstier than the next or it might not be as capable off road but superb on the black top and vice versa. Vehicle choice is a very personal thing and it's all things to all people. The one thing that appears to be accepted universally is that the most popular true off roaders are Land Rover Defender and Discovery, Nissan Patrols and Toyota Lancruisers. All the rest come in at second place with a few more that don't even rate a mention.
