Probably, would you rather carry the car seat and baby threw the back over and past everything in the living area to put them in a safe seating position for being on the move or just open the door and put them in as per normal?

Be mint for the east coast tahr trips up big river valleys

Think I'd go for an old Mog over that.

have you ever been in a mog?

If you are after a solid 4wd, you can not go past a solid axle (front and rear) coil sprung 4WD with a selective diff lock.
Yeah sure you might find some IFS wagon for a little bit cheaper, but yeah you guessed its cheaper for a reason.
I have owned 3x hilux's IFS and beam axle, prado, ifs coils springs and 2 x patrols, SWB and LWB.
By far, the best is my LWB Manual, turbo diesel rear diff lock coil sprung patrol. It honestly makes easy work of everything. you feel like you are cheating when you hear a ifs hilux with a Lexus V8 that has to floor it screaming hard just to get up a climb and all you do is put it in second with medium throttle (turbo on boost) and you just CRAWL up it.

If you want to get up dirt roads, get some ifs/leaf ute and it will out drive you.

Edit: yes i even have footage of mine, my mates (which was mine) swb patrol and a mates ifs hilux with a lexus v8 going up the same climb.

No, but I've heard they are a pig of a thing on the road; slow and unstable. Plenty of ground clearance, articulation and approach/departure angles off road though.

It would be a cool toy if you had the right spots to go in it, and only $500k ish (US im picking). Actually for that money I think I would just get a helicopter......hang on that wouldn't work either because I would have had to sell all my guns, house and some children to pay for it
