I personally would say the CJ-7 would be the best. My family had one for
about 16 years till we sold it. It would go just about anywhere we took it. I think it got stuck 1 time.

I don't off road, but my wife and I enjoy going to he Lake Tahoe and
Yosemite National Park areas in the winter for the snow. We have a 2003 Chevy Tahoe Z71. We love it. It suits our needs fine. It is the first for wheel drive I have owned in my life, I am 59 years old. Have had zero problems with it, and it moves right along in the snow. Mark |

You are talking new Land Cruisers here, not the real ones. I was refering to the discontinued models. The new ones are not my kind of whatever either. You'd better compare those to the new Range Rovers. Kind regards, Erik-Jan. |

To be fair, there are only a few places a Defender could drive over that a Land Cruiser couldn't, and no-one's ever likely to go there anyway! In every other respect, and overall, the Land Cruiser is way ahead. -- R o o n e y |

as im sure many have pointed out (or at least i hope they have, i have yet
to read the entire thread) there is no "best 4x4" because the answer would be totally relevant upon your needs. for absolute rough terrain capability there is no replacement for the jeep rubicon. with front and rear lockers, 4 to 1 low range transfer case, aggressive stock tires, skidding, etc. it will go where others cannot. that said however, it would be totally worthless to you if you needed to haul even a moderate amount of cargo. a long bed dodge cummins is an amazing hauler, but would be totally worthless if you needed to get into close or very aggressive terrain. first determine what your needs are. find the vehicle that best suits those needs and youll have the "best 4x4" for you. -- Nathan W.
