Thread: 4wd vs ATV vs SXS

right so just about to start looking for an outdoor vehicle. Based in Canterbury so looking for something to tackle the riverbeds and 4wd tracks of the area along with options further south. This will not be a daily driver but will be my hunting, fishing, adventure vehicle

Once sorted (a month or two away yet) budget will be 10-12k. Question is what to get? am I crazy to consider anything other than an older 4wd? If I go to ATV or SXS I'll need a trailer and lowball fitted to the daily so it can be transported. What advice do you have?

If going for a 4wd my current thoughts are an older 4wd such as Pajero, Prado, Wizard, ranger, bounty, Cherokee. Due to it not being a daily I'm not to phased between petrol and diesel.

Throw some advice at me, what to get, what to avoid, SWB vs LWB, offroad ability ATV/SXS vs 4wd.

cheers
Liam
