If not a cruiser/yota what would you drive?

[lt1fire]

Obviously we are all kind of biased towards toyotas in one way or another. So if there wasn't such a thing what US available rig would you wheel/overland/etc....

For me I think my overall favorites have always been square body bowties. Whether it is the crew cab trucks or the burbans or the blazers.

There is a size and flavor for everyones need.

The only thing I would ding them for is width which could hamper on some trails. But then if you don't care about body damage then its not a huge deal.


Really i'm a lover of all 4x4's they all seem to have pros and cons, some more than other, but there isn't many I wouldn't own time/place/price being right.

what I had before I got into Cruisers....A first Gen Bronco most likely....or a travelall.

Solid choices the IH brand is also one of my favorites and who doesn't like a classic bronco?

 

[jamesurq]

I'd lift a subaru.

 

[elkaholic]

Gen 2 bronco (78-79) ....

Yeah you can't play since you've owned every 4x4 known to man

Assuming you mean instead of my 80, which is my first Toyota ever, Land Rover. Its what got me back into 4WD. Maybe an LR3. I was heading that way before talking to experts who steered me the 80 way.

94-96 for swb or bronco most likely. maybe a late 40's power wagon on a newer frame/drive train.

VW Vanagon Wolfsburg-style (no kitchen) Syncro w/ a new power train.

The Nissan Titan Cummins in a short wheel base with access cab, bilsteins, locking rear diff sounds pretty good.

Add one of these in the full size body and . . .

. . pretty nice overland rig.

Sounds good on paper, but horrible Consumer Reports ratings on it. Of course so does the current 4Runner and LX570.

Now that I know what I know about 4WD and Toyota, I'm not sure what I would drive. The GTI is my daily driver and the 3rd vehicle would have to be older and pretty stout. My first choice would possibly be a diesel Ford F250 with a camper shell.

Got to test the field before making a commitment!

Certainly on a total aggregate basis, cruisers still top the list!

Sucks I’m cruiserless at the moment.

 

[shellb]

Oh but I still do have a Toyota 4x4, so that’s good at least.

 

[k4azy]

Suzuki Samurai ftw! If I absolutely had to pick American, it'd be a 70's Ford highboy or a CJ8 Scrambler.

 

[JohnVee]

Hmmm. How many other vehicles would it take to cover over the amount of time it will take to kill the 4 LC's I already own?
