The obvious choice: Land Rover Defender<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Land<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Pros:\u00a0<\/strong>Ultimate 4×4, choice of body styles
Cons:\u00a0<\/strong>Poor on the road, high prices<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No list of rugged off-roaders would be complete without the\u00a0Land Rover Defender\u00a0\u2013 the original and, in the eyes of many, the very best of the bunch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A separate low-range gearbox and locking differentials, plus near-perfect ground clearance, make short work of the rough stuff. That said, the Defender is hard work on the road, with lots of wind noise, little ventilation and a surprisingly cramped cabin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your choice of long-wheelbase, short-wheelbase, crew cab or panel van will ultimately dictate what you get for your money. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The reliable option: Toyota Land Cruiser Amazon<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Toyota<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Pros:\u00a0<\/strong>Reliability, equipment, lusty diesel
Cons:\u00a0<\/strong>Thirsty, rare on used market<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The\u00a0Toyota Land Cruiser<\/a>\u00a0Amazon has a reputation for never going wrong, and the chassis is ideal for off-roading thanks to the separate low-range gearbox and differential locks. If you\u2019re looking for toughness and reliability, it\u2019s ideal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most vehicles come with plenty of equipment, so expect to see air-conditioning, leather and seven seats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The rare classic: Mercedes G-Wagen<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Mercedes<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Pros:\u00a0<\/strong>Cult following, excellent off-road
Cons:\u00a0<\/strong>Expensive, scarce<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you like the idea of a Defender, but want some extra comfort and prestige, the\u00a0Mercedes G-Wagen\u00a0is for you. It\u2019s almost the equal of the\u00a0Land Rover\u00a0<\/a>off-road, with three locking differentials and a separate low box, but its on-road manners leave something to be desired.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both three and five-door models were made, with petrol and diesel engines, although many of the latter did without a turbocharger and are painfully slow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The G-Wagen\u2019s a rare sight on the used market and is much in demand, so those who have them will seek sky-high bids.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
