Which is the best 4x4 on the market at the moment for actual 4x4ing?

I just bought a Discovery. Love the vehicle and already taken it to Botswana - it performed outstandingly on both comfort and 4X4 scales.

New or second hand?

I know my parents just went to namibia and botswana with a Discovery 2 (2002) model and had no problems at all... Just bought if for the trip, think they will be selling it now

The whole Land Rover strond is BS... Just make sure someone looks over it before you go... My vote would be the Land Rover Discovery or Defender, but the Discovery is a better option (Aircon, etc.)

I'm very happy with my Pajero

If you want to go anywhere, get a jeep. http://mybroadband.co.za/photos/showphoto.php?photo=4836&cat=500

Hilux

With petrol prices, you might as well splurge on A tank. Any tank. http://www.tanksforsale.co.uk/OT90_APC_for_sale_page.htm

Did I say that Land Rover Discovery 2 2.5 diesel got between 8 and 12 k's per l...

Which is very good... It various that much due to terrain obviously

 

[mikeyb]

I would personally pick the Hilux/fortuner

Get something with a central front & central difflock

Also spend some time in the South African 4x4 community

 

[supersunbird]

Land Cruiser...

Land Cruiser...

Land Cruisers are great, but they are a lot more thirsty than a Land Rover... And they are a lot more expensive (Depends what market you looking at though, second hand or new, etc.)

Unimog.

Depends on what you're looking for. For *real* offroad stuff, a Land Rover Defender, maybe even an old Series 2 Landy if you want something that's going somewhere where it'll be battered. For a general mix of stuff, Discovery, Pajero, or Land Cruiser.
