This is new, thanks!
See where I’m from the Jeep and 4runner are popular but the most popular over landing rig here is the Chevy avalanche they are pretty cheep depending on the years very reliable and you said pick up or suv but this is kinda classified as a sut sports utility truck I personally own one and I’ve went on the trail multiple times and it’s never let me down
Squid you forgot the Toyota pickup
4Runner or Lexus GX
well ... a legend once said :
any car can offroad , even lambos , if you have money to repair it
Which legend
@@alexreiser6325 a rich one
For the Jeep Cherokee XJ, I opted for the 1994. Crank windows, manual door locks, 4.0L engine, manual transmission. Simplicity at its best.
4.0 with 5 speed is great! I have also 5 speed XJ but with 2.5 turbo diesel engine. Love that thing! :-)
@@V8AmericanMuscleCar that's badass, what engine is it? What did you pull it out of?
@@erendyalatorre7785 thanks. It's factory installed 2.5 turbo diesel engine for European market.
I have an 97 4.0 and it is great
You do know why jeep is usually cheap to buy one? Because jeep makes their money from selling replacement parts. 1200 usd for an alternator? No thank you.
I paid $4k for a Toyota Sequoia and it is a beast off road. Towing capacity and reliability sealed the deal
How many miles did it have?
Allen 190k. Lol seeing ads calling that “low miles”. But I guess it’s okay for the mighty Yoda
Got you beat...paid 1200 for a prestene izusu ls trooper 198thou miles for 1200
I have toyota sequoia amazing
And gas guzzler
00:36 Jeep Cherokee FJ
02:19 Mitsubishi Montero
04:21 Ford Ranger XLT
06:04 Isuzu Trooper
07:39 Lexus GX470
09:58 Subaru Outback
11:50 Toyota 4Runner
What year
I had a 93 Ranger 4.0 2wd Xtra cab
Went like shit on snow or mud
@@lockandloadlikehellbecause it was 2wd
You forgot the first and second generation Nissan Pathfinders, pick ups and xterra. Those things are super capable and very underrated
@@zachass3724 06= xterra are amazing rig
03 xterra is awesome, little underpowered but still super capable
I've got an 03, with a little lift, front locker and winch. AC cruise, everything still works. Cheaper then most of the stuff on this list.
I have a second gen pathfinder, and its not like its a super hardcore wheeler, but i just got back from definitely pushing it, it did amazing for the subframe version, im looking for a first gen now
Also have the 03 x and bone stock with a good a/t tire will shock people.
Pro tip: The later generation Mazda BSeries trucks (mid 90s to early 2000s) are just rebadged Ford Rangers. Most aftermarket upgrades are cross compatible, so keep a lookout!
Thanks for the info!
I drove from England to West Africa where I filmed the entire journey in 360 VR, and I did the journey in my 1995 Mitsubishi Delica 4WD van
yo your channel is dope asf and the 360 views are WOWWWWWWWWW I subbed
@@WordPressU Thanks for the Sub, much appreciated 👌🏿👊🏿👍🏿
No Jeep Grand Cherokee WJ??? $5k all day long, 4.7L V8, solid Dana axles f/r, nice luxury interior, very reliable. I sold an Xterra to purchase my 04 WJ, 4" long arm lift, 33" tires and daily commute it. Has completed the Rubicon trail twice and driven/overlanded all over the western US with no reliability issues in great comfort. Not sure how you missed this one???
Shhhh, don't tell anybody.
Bro im saying the same best oveander
Be happy it was the opening scene lol
@@MommyHugger That's the XJ Cherokee (great vehicle!). The WJ Grand Cherokee is a much nicer ride and comes with the 4.7L V8.
And a transmission waiting to fail. Not including all the wiring debauchery fiat/chrysler did to them. And that front axle is the same axle on the lighter xj. They should have made the d44 standard.
I love my little Ranger (Mazda b4000). I'm still working on getting it overland ready.
I have a 99 4runner 2wd. And it tackles down a good amount of trails. Got me out of being stuck in mud situations as well. These 4runners are beast. And one thing I do I gotta say, it’s mostly about the clearance and grip of tires you have on. And take it easy with that extra full send haha. I love my rig. I’m at 198k miles and it runs like a dream. I know it’s Still baby miles for it. I have a homie at 310k. Still Runs smoothly and takes on off road stuff like a boss.
Is it a problem that is a 2wd or the tires and ground clearance more important
Love my 4runner one of the best purchase I ever made.
Great list. Your filming/landscape is stunning. Perfectly edited. Thanks for another well thought out video.
I’ve got an old Jeep Grand Cherokee (ZJ) with the inline 6 and I can absolutely vouch for that engine it’s surprisingly powerful and smooth for being the smaller engine and has plenty of low end torque and mines got 240,000 miles and runs perfect.
I have a Mitsubishi Montero 2001, it runs like new and I never worry about the mud
I love to see people like you in the comments! Monteros are fantastic vehicles, however I was surprised to see them on this list due to their rareness. We have 2 2003 monteros and adore them! It tooks 3+ years to find each of them though. It’s very common for not a single one (that isn’t the montero sport model), for sale across the entire US.
Keep on keepin’ on montero friend!
Edit: the dude in the video mentioned a 3.5L or 3.6L. I don’t know where he got that, as I know both of ours are 3.8L v6s, and I’ve seen 4 cylinder diesels in Australia and/or New Zealand.
@@explosivemallard8038 Actually I live in dominican republic, here we still have some Monteros running on the streets, 2001-2002 come with 3.5 engine and after 2003 the 3.8, there are other minor changes, excellent vehicule!
infovehiculosRD Wow, I learned something today! Thank you for telling me about that. Go monteros!
@@explosivemallard8038 what would be the downfall of the Montero Sport model as compared to the "regular" version??
I've always loved these for a overlander, camping and exploring vehicle. I've had a number of nice ZJ Grand Cherokee's and one WJ Grand Cherokee too.. my next vehicle I was hoping to find a super clean 4.0 ZJ Grand Cherokee with Selec-trac and the FACTORY tow package since they come with 3.73 axle gearing and most also have limited slip rear ends too.. I have a 3" lift and a set of extended shocks sitting in my garage for when I find the right one.
Never know, between the Mitsubishi and that Isuzu I'd be happy with any of them!!.
@@BabyCharlotteschannel I’m not entirely sure why, but when looking at reviews of the “regular” monteros and the montero sports of the early 2000s, I’ve found owners to leave lower reviews and seem a little less impressed. I’m sure they’re still enjoyable, but it seems not as enjoyable as the “regular” monteros.
Purely speculation because I don’t really know, but maybe it doesn’t use the same cast iron 3.8 or transmission that the “regular” monteros do, and are less reliable because of this. Or maybe the 4wd doesn’t have a locking center or rear differential like the “regular” monteros, making them less capable off road.
A 1996 isuzu trooper is best with a 5 speed. The 3.2L engine is waaaayyy easier to work on and has more isuzu than gm. Regardless, im so happy that he mentioned these!
Lmao I jumped on Craigslist after watching this and I found a 1991 trooper for $500 running and driving in going to get it Saturday Lmaoo
How's it coming along after 8 months?
Did ya get it?
Lmao didn’t work out chassis was rotted. Typical east coast car
@@selfmademimms shame. But I wouldn't endorse any Isuzu except the KB pickup truck, I have a friend that had a trooper and it was a nightmare
Their cheap as hell for a reason my friend
The Xterra deserves its place on this list IMO. First gens are slightly underpowered but built like tanks, second gens have their problems but are fixed with preventable maintenance and can beat pretty much everything on this list to 60.
Totally! I think maybe they're still a bit expensive, but I guess us mentioning a 4Runner makes that point invalid...
Xterra is an underrated beast, especially 2nd gen.
2nd gen was one of the best and most reliable vehicles I've ever owned. Don't forget the 3g Pathfinder. Same chassis/engine and more room. It's even available with a 5.6 V8 and they are cheap.
Completely agree, I bought a Xterra several years ago and haven’t looked back , one all around great 4x4..
XTerra is pretty good
I'm so happy that anybody is finally talking about Isuzu on any CZcams platform . . . And trust me, it IS reliable
Yes the trooper is reliable, I have over 200,000 on my 1999,. But he forgot about the Isuzu Rodeo/ Honda Passport which uses the exact same drivetrain as the trooper. My 1997 Passport also has over 200,000 miles and both vehicles are capable of making the drive from Alaska to Florida at a moments notice.
My friends first car was a Rodeo. Still has that beast over a decade later. Bought it for $500 bucks.
even mitsubishi, although imo they're more comfy
I have loved all of mine
89 trooper 2.6 manual
92 rodeo 3.1 manual
94 trooper 3.2 auto
95 rodeo 3.2 auto
96 trooper 3.2 auto
All 4wd
isuzu is very respected in australia and south east asia, the diesel engines normally go to 500,000 km before overhaul - as long as you do the recommended service intervals.
The GMT800 platform Tahoe Z71 and Suburban Z71 are fantastic, rugged, and often overlooked overlanding platforms. They came with skid plates, a rear locking diff, 330lb of torque, and are extremely reliable and cheap to maintain and repair. Parts are cheap and everywhere, and aftermarket support is sufficient.
And rust like hell
Love the SUV content! Keep it up Ideal Media
The trooper that brings me back to the teenage years of the 90's
I have a 98 b3000/ranger knocked named the goat. Stock suspension height and 30’s has taken me on amazing adventures with 16-18 mpg down the freeway to work. Clocked 1000’s of miles on Mt.Baker trails. Great trucks I got mine for $1500 and a new vacuum sequence up front for the 4WD.
Great video! Excellent choice in SUV!
Had 3 XJ's...love them...sold the last one with 290k on the original engine/trans/diffs/transfer....in an H2 now..love it.
I bought A 2nd gen Xterra does everything I need it to do. I do think your list is pretty accurate
I think some good cheap options include the GMT400/800 Chevy Tahoe, or really anything built on those platforms, the 1G Kia Sorento which shares a ton of components with the Montero, the Chevy Trailblazer, Toyota Sequoia, and the 1G/2G Explorer.
For sure on the GMT400/800 and Trailblazers are dirt cheap, highly capable, and reliable after a solid axle swap....
I have a 2 door Tahoe. And have been building her up. Can't wait to be done to take her out
My 2nd gen 2wd is quick up to about 80. VQ40 is a beast motor but consumes too much oil imo.
Loved this video... Very informative. And useful for first time enthusiastic campers
Got my 2000 4Runner for 4K..had 230k miles and was immaculate...300k miles now still runs like new
If you got the money just buy a 1995 Toyota Land Cruiser best suv you’ll ever have been having mines for 25 years those things last forever
“If you got the money”. They hold their value almost superficially well. Definitely not the cheapest option, and you might have to get one with so many miles that it is no longer more reliable than any of the other cars on this list. Great car, but not cheap.
Or if you want to get your foot in the door. Get a gen 2 Xterra. You do have to watch out for the "milkshake " and some bearing issues. I got mine, an off road edition with some minor body damage ( thank God no panel damage. ) for 6500 bucks post taxes.
If you want the space of the Land cruiser but want to save some money, look into the Lx470. They made a lot more of them than the LC, so it’s easier to find a cheaper one. I just bought a 99 w 160k miles for $7k. It was alil cheaper than all the rest because the previous owner was way behind on its maintenance. It took me a lil bit to get over the alien eyes head lights, but this things goes wherever i point it.
Rick, look into Land Rovers. Just bought a 98 Discovery LSE w 75k miles on it and absolutely ZERO issues. Also more capable than about anything on this list
@@cameronjohnson3852 Aren't Rovers pretty scarse in the states? I know it's been a min but years ago I wanted a good tough 4×4 and had always lover The look of the LR, RR. But everything I came across was considerably more than I wanted to pay, not to mention at the time very few wanted to part with them. Also does Land Rover have a US factory? Ive always figured like most european car brands they're great to have to work on if broke down but only if your not in the US. 😆 At the same time shocked me cause I guess I never thought about it, but apparently Jeep is the same way if your trying to buy one or get parts in Europe. In my own experience the only LR's I've seen on the road locally tend to have their nose in the air, expensive as hell, and never had a drop of mud dry overnight on their undercarriage let alone dove radiator first into the mudd ways of the back country. Nor busted through a snow drift to remake a driveway and go to work. 😄 All n all Still want one though I only say that when certain my 2000 Wj ain't within earshot 🙃
Did you really wonder if there was a better alternative to what you listed? Okay. Let's consider Dix, my 14 hand saddle mule.
Now it's true, there will always be a problem with emission standards. You can't get around that with a mule, and there's no point in deniel.
Plus, there's very little high end speed, as gearing is too far separated. But there are days of low end torque. And once you get the hang of letting them do the clutch release, it's a breeze to climb where goats fear to tred.
I get about 50 mpb (miles per bale), though your milage may vary. There's a great deal of variations in alfalfa octane levels, so for the best performance, a pocket full of oats is a recommended additive.
This is a no frills overlander approach with a very long pedigree of success. Saddlebags and a bedroll are readily a available options, as is a trevoiis in case you overpack. A .30-30 scabbard is an encouraged purchase, as fresh meat will be needed on long excursions.
Their futuristic AI (Animal Independence) guidance system can be autonomous to a fault at times, but is unusually persistent when inclined. The 4X4 traction control is almost flawless as long as you don't attempt to override the AI guidance system.
Yep, there are a few you left off the list. And these $1500 (average) brands are not yet in high demand, but I expect that to change soon. (After all, YOURE reading this, aren't you?)
GREAT VIDEO AND THANKS FOR SHARING.
Nobody ever gives the 96-04 Nissan Pathfinder any love! Great trucks, dead reliable, cheap! Mine has 220k miles and still runs great! All of the electronics and accessories still work too!
These type of videos make the market spike here in SoCal!
I really like your GX470 with bronze and black... Nice combo! I have a 99' 3rd gen SR5 4runner; with 5speed manual and 4x4. My daily driver, with 6112's and 5160's in the rear. The only crazy thing is my Yoda has over 330,000 original miles, so I've been changing all the worn out parts as I see fit... I'm doing it all myself except for the exhaust. The manual is becoming very hard to find; especially, since the market held the majority of numbers with automatic transmissions. Happy Trails! 🏜🏞🗻🌄🏕
Thanks Scuba! Sounds like a sweet ride and a 330,000 mile 4Runner is only just getting started!
For me the 88 Toyota Longbed 4×4 with a higher then normal camper shell! It's been a great truck going on over 32 years! Same v-6 motor...
My daily driver is a 4.0 liter 1992 Jeep yj with 150.000 miles ,it’s completely rust free and in an amazing condition and it looks like new ,it has a 2.5 inch lift and 32 mud terrains , since it was new it has never broke down once and it only needed minor maintance like clutches ,oil changes and U joints , thaws 4 liter engines are made to last
I had a YJ! I loved it! So capable and so cheap.

This just made me smash the subscribe button 🤣
Ranger feller here, wasn't expecting it to be on your list lol. I currently own 4, I'm building a 302 v8 for a swap, a built mudder, and a crawler. The original squares are nice, but unless you're building a nice hotrod, stay away. The 93-97 trucks are equipped with solid axles, coil springs in the front and leafs in the rear. They came with 2.3l 4 cylinders, 3.0l v6, and the 4.0 ohv v6, all of which are great engines reliability wise, it isn't uncommon to find 2.3s with 500k or more miles, and 300k plus on the v6s. Get a manual and you've got a very capable and reliable truck, though its been my experience the 3.0s are the most high maintenance of the 3. The 98-11 trucks are a little bit more finicky but are still good vehicles. They have torsion bar ifs, and leafs in the rear with an optional 8.8 posi rear. The 2.5 is still a very good engine, the 3.0 is solid, but the 4.0 sohc engines are garbage and you need to stay away from them. The 4x4 package also includes a factory 2.5in lift and you can easily clear 31s and even 33s with proper backspacing. People really sleep on these trucks, very solid performers and when parts do fail they're dirt cheap since ford made 3 trillion of them and they share parts with the explorer, bronco 2, and even 3.0l stuff from the Taurus and Aerostar with tons of aftermarket
Thanks for showing my Trooper!! She's doing great to this day. Even got her supercharged!
Jeep Commander 5.7 with QD2. Basically factory lockers with a 5.7 Hemi!! 300 +plus HP.
I got the 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee (WK) with the QDII and the HEMI, Beast of a machine, even has Uconnect for the phone which is nice! Love mine, need to throw some KO2s on it soon
I personally daily and overland a trooper and they really are what is up. never had any issues, and they are so much bang for buck!
Everyone I know with a Trooper loves them!
Manual or auto? Havent heard anything good of the 4l30 tbh, but the trooper as a whole seems like a pretty good option. Just dont want to deal with a poor transmission.
Super glad you mentioned 4Runner’s love my 3rd gen /98 4Runner really want a GX 470 just like yours maybe one day if I can find a deal soon lol 👍👍👌😉
I have an old 93 Jeep ZJ 4x4, I have had it for about 13 years now. Got it as a daily driver and its fallen in to antiquity over the years. I am planning on reviving it in 2021 and turning it in to an overlander. Nothing cheaper then a 4x4 you already have.
I would totally go for the Lexus GX 470! So sweet, and I love a cushy ride.
You and me both!
450!
Out of curiosity I looked for a used GX 470 near me. The cheapest was $8000 and had 300k+ miles. Good Lord.
Land cruiser 80 or 100/ lx450 or lx470, gx is like the little brother
nothing beats honda cr-v when it comes to price! And my suzuki grand vitara is amazing off road! Cheap, dependable, great 4x4 system, great off road and better interior design than most other suv's in its price range. Love it!
I had a 2000 Toyota 4Runner as my first vehicle and loved it. Had lots of fun and drove it for about a year then rolled it. Despite this still love the truck and it kept me and my family safe while rolling at highway speed. Totally recommend!!
Great video, if you can’t find Mitsibishi panduro. Look for the Mitsibishi outlander. The same architecture and off-road set up are in it as the panduro. I had a 2010. It has the old version of the new AWD setup(But mostly mechanical). I never got stuck in it. And I live in northern Alberta. We get a lot of snow. It’s faster off the line too. Older F-150’s should be on the list. With front lockers and two solid axles. You’ll go anywhere you want.the 5.0 would work. But the 5.8(351W) would be the best engine for a bit more power. I daily a 89 4x4 with the 351( with a manual). Plus they are easy to fix or get running in the bush. That’s once you know the ins and outs of the truck. With a 8 ft box, you’ll have a lot of room get your gear in and out of the bush. And that with a jockey box to put your tools, etc. You’ll need to have the knowledge about gearing and driving. Cause there are no drivers aids to help you. Being a older rig. That one is for you old school over landers.
Exactly! not trying to build a $100K rig! just need a 4x4 and roof tent, everything else I got.
😍
Land cruiser is the king of 4X4
Very well made. Well done!
My grandmother has a Montero, thing still runs like a dream.
nice vid bro
Another great vehicle is the 2002 Chevy Tahoe, it’s pretty helpful. The problem with having one is that it’ll have a problem for every 100 or 200 miles. They’ll come around $8,000 or sometimes $2,000
It's helpful?
Wat
I absolutely LOVE the LX470!
Thanks for these recommendations. I'm a beginner looking to get into cars. Never would've thought there'd be an off road Lexus.
Where's the Nissan Love ?
Pathfinder ! Exterra ! Frontier !
I got a TJ wrangler sport for $4500 and after 2.5in lift kit competition 33in tires and replacing the cooling system and having to replace the rear axel bucause I was stupid and it cost $8200 it also only had 117,000 miles.
9K lifted Jeep Grand Cherokee with Dat Hemi ( 5.7 liter v8 Hemi) shit for gas milage but it blew up a 18inch piece of granite I drove over with just a small dent in the muffler. Been doing trails all around Silverton Colorado. Taught my kid how to 4 wheel up there .
I have 2 2003 monteros and used to have a 1989 montero. They are amazing
I absolutely loved my 98' Dodge Durango until it turned into an absolute money pit. Don't get me wrong the v8 magnum is an absolute powerhouse. But they should have followed it up with a beefier transmission. This video was a big help.
I loved my 98 Durango but after replacing the fuel pump twice and ball joints and radiator when it started overheating again I just couldn’t keep dumping cash into it
I have a 2001 ram 1500 short wheelbase 5spd 4x4 with a built 5.2 magnum, the manual is WAY better than the auto
One friend of mine offered me his 91 4runner, I'm planning to buy it and start overloading
I use my 01 ZR2 Blazer, love it a bunch! The 4.3L V6 Vortec gets me anywhere I need to go
My dad had a montero and I used to ride with him when he was off roading in it
Toyota Sequoia is a good one too
I went with the Ranger route and i'm loving it! Super cheap to modify and super easy to find 2nd hand parts! Can't wait to get this thing finished:)
Good to hear! Hope you're finding some good trails!
@@IdealMediaChannel still in the build phase have a few kinks to figure out then should be ready for some trails!
@@Devvaun how is it?
@@aidananchaya love it!
I know what I want my first car to be lol
I have a 07 Honda pilot and use it for Overlanding. It's amazing and hasn't let me down.
Same here, an 06. Surprisingly very good off road. and great traction with the locking rear diff.
The toyota truck from I believe mid 80s is fantastic. I have that and a 2002 4runner and they both are amazing cars that are cheap to maintain and are amazing for offroad. They even have 300,000 miles each and they run like they're new.
Maybe a Tahoe? Big American small block Chevy or LS platform (depending on year) 4WD and dead reliable
Regarding Subaru... Outback is the good option for off road in long journeys, Forrester for off road in crazy journeys and Tribeca for off road in family journeys. Is it true?
Minute 3:27 it's me with my 2006 3rd gen 5 door 3.2DID, was a great adventure that day with a loyal friend
I bought a 2004 4.0L Jeep Grand Cherokee (WJ) for $3k and with 190k miles. I took out the half the folding seat and can fit a twin mattress in it. Plenty of power offroad and decent aftermarket support.
"tall glass of water" I m offended
4Runner 4evah! I am at 232k on my '03 V8 Sport. I am going for 500k!
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! ALL OF THGEM ARE GREAT VALUES!!!!! AND ALL HAVE GREAT PRICES!!!!! YOU HAVE DONE YOUR HOMEWORK AND IT SHOWS.
Very cool. I love reusing older things.
“Are you in a Honda Civic?” Actually ya. And I go off-roading in my civic more often than most of the these soccer moms who own these SUV’s on this list list LOL
Man, you are funny. What you call off-road is just a road with badly maintained surface. ;)
I mean, if you have tons of stickers slapped on the back like most civics do, with that many "extra horsepower" I'm sure you could go anywhere, lol..
Yeah....sure.
@@mknone40 well to be fair i put lowering springs on my old 350z i had years ago and when i hit a pothole it felt like i just drove it off a mountain. lmao
how is driving an economy car offroad better than using an SUV as a people mover? Just because it's a woman driving it doesn't mean she doesn't have to go off road at times.
What ever "off-roading" you're doing is probably pretty mundane. And if it's not kiss your civic longevity goodbye.
I literally owned half of your suggestions and i like to change;
97 XJ 2dr,
01 Ranger on 33s,
03 4runner V8 Limited full leather on 34s rock crawled, 84 4Runner F/R lock on 35s
99 impreza 2.5 coupe
03 impreza wagon .
Now i own a 95.5 tacoma and a 84 toyota pickup.
Great video squidd! 👍
Great video!
Thanks!
The nissan pathfinder is also a good off road 4x4
Yooooo I literally own that trooper 6:54 that's dope. It's in my driveway
My buddy had a blue one in high school. Those things are definitely beasts.
92 ls trooper luxury ed...all options 298thou miles n starts always even in minus degree montana weather..blast in snow storms!!
Foresters and Outback’s are worth mentioning. The models that can brake slipping tyres to redirect torque to tyres with traction can compete with the best 4WDs in tough situations, just use decent AT tyres. Forester especially for doing that on high fuel economy, regular fuel on a 2.4L, as capable as the Outback, a bit less storage, maybe like 20cm shorter?. Though I ended up getting a 2004 Jeep Cherokee/Liberty XJ 3.7
I have a 2002 WJ Grand Cherokee 4.7. 1600 bucks for solid axles and a V8 made it a simple pick. I’ve had it for 10 years now.
Any problems with the wj that a new buyer should know about . How is it off road ? I m sure it has good power on and off road , is there a lot of parts out there ? Is it easy to work on? Anything I should know about the wj , what’s the pros and cons to the wj ? Thank you
The placement of your mic looks like a priest collar
Bless you
I thought so too! ✝️
those who love Jeep Wrangler jusssssttttttt likeeeeeeeee
The Jeep XJ and Ford Ranger are my favs. 87 to 92 for the XJ and 83 to 92 on the Ranger.
Great video
Id take the ford ranger or the jeep, or one that you forgot was the Toyota taco (tocoma)
Had an early 00s Tacoma, climbed trees. Frame literally rusted in half. I really miss it
I have a 2004 Montero Sport and I love it so much 🥰 only RWD tho
Howdy Montero friend! We have 2 2003 monteros and adore them, too! Great vehicles! I’m curious as to the gas mileage you get with the RWD version, as both of our 4wds only get an average of 16mpg.
Explosive Mallard I would say I average 18-20 mpg
very rare dawsonッ That’s definitely a significant perk of RWD versions! Go Monteros!
I am sure you can still overland with RWD. I just bought a GMC sierra 2500, 2wd, and I plan to do some basic overlanding with it. I bought it just to carry wood, not thinking of overlanding at the time.
awesome video brother !!!
Appreciate it!
Great video. I was considering the amazon (LC100) but i am going for LEXUS / prado in this country
When he mentions the crown vic 👌
NISSAN Frontier has always been a Fav. of mine also.
I looked at the Lexus 470 and I was really torn on wanting to buy one but ended up getting the Grand Cherokee because I didn't want to pay for premium fuel on my daily driver. they really are great rigs though.
I like the toyota 4 runner
Me too!
Lexus gx470 is identical car as 4 runner. Frame, axles, engine, trans, diferentials are identical. Only difference is body styling.
Finally a Subaru gets mentioned👏🏿
Love my old Forester.
some very good ideas for overlanding or buging out if shit goes down
Oh my gosh my dad used to have an Isuzu Trooper! Manual and 4wd! Had it not had deer blood stains in the back that smelled on hot days (from the previous owner, mind you), I wish he still had it to pass onto me for my first vehicle! Instead I was given a 2wd 1996 Jeep Cherokee Country XJ. I grew up in the car, but unfortunately I was hit and she was totaled :( But she went to another 16yo who needed something reliable and cheap (she was very much drivable, just a large dent and slightly slanted steering). I was bought a beautiful 2010 Forester after that, and I couldn’t ask for anything better for me. With some mods, she will be a overlanding machine, but right now she’s a safe and go-anywhere Subie!
