Thread: Budget Family 4WD

I think the 80 series VX Cruiser is the pick. Solid over engineered dont brake. The 92 with the double difflocks would be the best but impossible to get. Can be dragged out over rocks and logs and come out unbroken.
Value for money the Izuzu is hard to beat but need to be second or third on a crossing - need another vehicle along
Suzuki - fantastic performance in mud, slippery tracks, great in water as long as the floating issue is allowed for and the right ford and fording method is picked - like reversing upstream in the water as far as possible on the near bank before starting a well angled downstream crossing, so that they dont get side on to the flow.
I would buy an old de-reg suzuki and put it on a trailer. Mod it up as a off road buggy
