First and foremost, I hope I'm making this thread in the right section. Secondly, hi everyone first time visiting and becoming a new member, I'm hoping to be around if I find the right vehicle.
Okay, I'll keep it as informative as I can to see what you guys can recommend to fit my needs as this will be my first SUV or truck ever owned since I'm coming from 240s, 300zx, TL Type S, Civics, Evo, and an IS300.
I'm looking for something that can handle towing/overland/camping/road trips/be an easy to park driveable daily driver.
I will be potentially relocating from SoCal to Indianapolis by the end of the year due to my job and will be needing something to tow one of my cars as I'll be shipping the other but, will also be needing to tow the cars to shops and the track once I'm out there. No kids and wife, so that makes me question the huge size SUVs.
I will be looking into some minor overlanding/camping road trips no crazy hardcore off-road activities.
this will ALSO be my daily for year round weather conditions in the Midwest.
I'm aware that no matter which I choose, the MPG will suck and that Toyota's in that era were bad with rust.
As for pick up trucks, not sure I can get much use out of them as I don't haul stuff on a daily basis, not sure if they're as comfortable to camp in as an SUV when overlanding, and finally the room for passengers. But hey, I could be completely wrong and I'm truly open to honorable mentions and examples or builds to give me much more exposure.
Finally, I've narrowed it down to just some common choices from the small amount of time I've done research, but still haven't gotten to which years to avoid.
-Lexus GX470
-Toyota Land Cruiser 100
-Lexus LX470
-Toyota 4Runner 4WD V8 (07-09 4th Gen)
-Toyota Sequioa (05-06 VVTI)
Let me know what you guys recommend even if not on this list.
