I need a better winter car... 4931You'd be venturing off course. Be careful of the hype....."Bigger Nuts"...."Best4x4xFar"....and all that jivin' cosmic debris. Land Cruiser is the preeminent full...
Like almost anything to do with stuck cars, it generally has little importance what they are driving.....bad drivers can get stuck in almost any car they drive, and good drivers can manage to move safely no matter how difficult the vehicle they seem to be piloting.
And while I myself really love Jeeps and own two, neither Jeep nor Land Rover make the best full line 4x4-off-road vehicles...that honor goes to Land Cruiser. We, and Europe, just don't get some of their best units. In SOuth Amercia you can find LC's that are superb. Built like monster and perform with ease and capability. I am even of an opinion that Jeep and LR don't match up against some of Mistu's 4x4's, but then Mitus doesn't have a full line of off-roaders.
By the way JeFf Strickland (I remember you from the r.a.m.j.w) have you seen the LC FJ40 coming to the states in a couple years. Beautiful little retro 4x4 with starting price around 23, 000 (according to AutoWeek). Jeeps in for a fight when Toyota lands that little bugger on our shores. The kids are gonna love it.
