If Surfs didn't exist, what would you choose?

[TeaMonsta]

Just out of interest. I've only just entered into the world of Surfs and 4WD but what else is popular? Pajeros? Colorados?

Landrover 90s

To qualify I spend a good part of my working week in a Defender and they're fcuking shocking. We have a few and they're all awful to drive, no elbow room, poor heating and ventilation, and they rattle, groan and shake, and protest more than a stroppy teenager. And these are about five or six years old, not seventeen like my Surf. The only good thing about Landrovers is their legal towing capacity.

On occasion drive a RR Sport and a Landcruiser which I would choose over my Surf for a daily but not off roading.


Back to the original question... there are few cars for the money that come anywhere near fulfilling my wants in a motor, so if the Surf went I would probably up my budget to either a Hilux Crew Cab (4 door), a Landcruiser or a large soft top Jeep (not a Cherokee)

I do for one, and looks like a few others do too!

My Q was more fact finding for alternatives to the Surf.

Not saying I'm selling it, but just wondered if I got some money together, what would be comparable or better in terms of power, 4x4 ability, load carrying and 4 person carrying.

Plus I want a V8 again.

So, do I get a transplant or buy a V8 specced truck?

erm.... sorted. For the time being....
