Hey guys, I am wanting some vehicle choice help from the Expo collective.
I have had a lot of off road vehicles over the years including 80 series, Unimogs, Domestic 4x4 trucks, Montero's, and we currently have an LR4.
The LR4 is really really nice, a great vehicle really, but the lack of a diesel sucks, and the amount of things that can go wrong with it scare me.
Here's what I'm looking for:
Seats 6 adults pretty well
Diesel
Tow at least 5k easily
Dont mind importing form overseas, have done it before but would have to be over 25 years old.
I dont really know is there is anything out there like this! I would go a diesel E350 van route, but the wife will not go for a van at all. Ive thought about diesel 70 series troopy cruiser with a third row instead of the rear bench seats, I've seen a few of those. Ive thought about diesel swapped 2500 Suburbans. I dont think even a Defender 130 was ever built as an SUV, just the HCPU. How's a nissan Patrol third row, if they have them? Probably like the Montero which is much too small.
Discuss with me!
