I'd go with a well sorted Jeep ZJ with the 4.0 and keep the remaining 10k.

4runner is your best bet. Not my idea of a rugged trail goer, but it will hold its own. I'd have a d90 defender <3. Of course land rovers aren't very reliable....

Do you really want a nice interior for a working vehicle though?

Imports all the way for long range off road vehicles.

I'd go with the 4 runner.

It is the perfect choice, but my other prospect cars have such nicer interiors.

So I am a landscape photographer, and I need a vehicle that can go anywhere.

Here is an example of what I am looking for. I will be picking up and driving from Southern California to Alaska with a few cases, tripods, and small soft bags. I will need to sleep in the car , wagon or SUV is a must.

I need high clearance , (AWD or 4x4.)

reliable. ( I will not tolerate a break down)
it has to start every time with no problems.

interior. ( I will be spending many hours inside of this car so it has to comfortable and ergonomic)


long range , efficient, quiet.

Here is what I have in mind . and my budget for the vehicle is roughly 14k.

Honda Pilot. (First Generation )

Toyota 4runner. (Third Generation)

Volvo XC 70 ( Second Generation)

Volvo XC 90

The swedish have the ideal interior (heated ergonomic leather)

Saab 9-5 wagon (First Generation)
