• Ok, I guess the question is “how off road?”, just gravel surfaced roads or proper green-laning?

    If it’s gravel roads then I’d go for tyres specific to that terrain rather than a ladder frame 4x4, but if it’s deep ruts and steep ramps I’ve always liked the look of G-wagons, the older ones rather than the Crypto/Coke-bro AMG versions.

  • Probebrly gravel to start but a nice track can turn bad fast.

    Not many g wagon here. Lots of 4 runner, shogun, patrols, etc and then x5/toureg/xc90 for more sofisticated. I thought the jeep would bridge gap and offer 2 ish cars in on

    Very late to the convo, but where is here?

    Unless you're green-laning surely most modern 4wd/awd cars with decent clearance and the right tyres will do what you need.

    Sounds like you want a Jeep, so go for it. I'd go for a Grand Cherokee. Better VFM and a nicer place to be than the standard Cherokee and the budget Jeeps feel budget and small.

    Unless you need hard core off road capabilities I'd look for which crossover SUVs scored well vs the equivalent Range/Land Rover in whatever year and buy a 2nd set of off-road capable wheels. If you do need hard core off road capabilities, then I think you want a LR or RR as they probably do on road refinement and off road better than anyone else.
