wardle65 6 Posted May 23, 2013 Report Share Posted May 23, 2013 Vitara for off road use everytime, not much i dont no about them, let me know if i can help Rav 4 is a much nicer drive on the road, all depends what your main use is for etc etc Lee not the best pick but that was one of mine Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Alsone 789 Posted June 7, 2013 Report Share Posted June 7, 2013 I had a RAV4. Never got stuck in winter anywhere. Have been off road but not much. Found it fine off road but I didn't go anywhere overly muddy. I'd have said its better built than the Vitara but as others have said, doesn't have the low ration gearbox. As important as the car is your tyres. I laways used to fit mine with Town and Country. If you're planning on going off road a lot in bad conditions then either a 2nd set of wheels or if you can' be bothered to change them, look on tyre review sites for something onroad but with a deep tread and high mud rating. Full off road tyres aren't much good on the road as they tend to be more puncture prone. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Skut_monkey 7 Posted July 1, 2013 Report Share Posted July 1, 2013 Being a toyota owner i'd say the hilux or the hilux surf, fantastic motors If you go for the surf make sure its a manual as the autos blow cylinder heads Quote Link to post Share on other sites
