Re: Which SUV To Buy? by colossus2: 6:24am On Oct 28, 2014 |
Wanted to recommend an xterra for you when I opened the thread till I read it. Hmmm...serious water, mud, offroad, 8months. Land cruiser, land rover, ford |

An FJ cruiser us very spartan yet very offroad focused. 1 Like |

Marpol give a price range. |
Re: Which SUV To Buy? by AutosBay(m): 8:11am On Oct 28, 2014 |
Would suggest you go for a Toyota Highlander whichever the model. |

AutosBay: Highlander is not a true SUV. It's more suited to city driving. |
Re: Which SUV To Buy? by Marpol: 9:49am On Oct 28, 2014 |
lomomike: More like it. |
Re: Which SUV To Buy? by ba7man(m): 10:04am On Oct 28, 2014 |
Marpol:try out more recent models of Toyota 4runner. Nothing beats a Toyota for "real world" hard use. |
Re: Which SUV To Buy? by Nobody: 10:06am On Oct 28, 2014 |
Marpol: Two very good offroaders which won't be bad trying, and are infact the best offroad trucks around are landrover discovery series 90 and Mercedes Benz Gelandewagon (G class) pre MY2000. Very basic very spartan serious offroad is their natural habitat. But if you're buying the Gelandewagon, do a diesel to save fuel and get more torque. |

Marpol: GX470 is great but going through that kinda abuse will have effect on your wallet in terms of maintenance, 4Runner is not a bad idea if you willing to give up the luxury that comes with GX470..... and again depends on the year you willing to settle for based on the budget. .. if done before the new tariff then, you might be lucky |
Re: Which SUV To Buy? by clemz85(m): 3:32pm On Oct 29, 2014 |
Op depending on your budget, you are good to on FJ cruiser, my boss uses it and we have a lot to write home about the mob. another is wrangler though I dunno much about this mob |
Re: Which SUV To Buy? by Fhemmmy: 4:19pm On Oct 29, 2014 |
clemz85: You should be able to tell that Marpol wanna enjoy the luxury that comes with a machine and still be able to abuse it, FJ doesn't have the kinda luxury he is looking for but the ruggedness, likewise Wrangler and Wrangler is only for those that knows the worth . . . You sound like you do and i love that |
Re: Which SUV To Buy? by Marpol: 4:30pm On Oct 29, 2014 |
Fhemmmy: I don't dig the FJ Cruiser because of the way the doors open. Just don't know why toyota opted for a door and half. As for Wrangler, I laugh in Swahili. |

Fhemmmy: The new tarrif will not kickoff in January. Elections are around the corner and PDP will not do anything that will jeopardize the re-election of GEJ. They might postpone it to June or after the swearing in. |
Re: Which SUV To Buy? by Fhemmmy: 4:51pm On Oct 29, 2014 |
Marpol: Na you now, i sabi you wella no be today . . . . Dig deeper in the wallet and spend to get what will make you happy . . . Lol |
Re: Which SUV To Buy? by Fhemmmy: 4:55pm On Oct 29, 2014 |
Marpol: Chairman, that was what i thought too till i was discussing with some political analyst and he asked me a question "Has any other contestant from other party come against the policy of new tariff?" that got me thinking, cos it means that everyone wanna make this happen, especially now that price of oil is going down? they will need all other areas to gather money . . . . . and sure could see this as an avenue. |

AutosBay:Hilander for offroad? He'll kill d 'elevated camry' (hilandr) cos it's an AWD. I'll recommend a 4WD in the likes of a nissan pathy(unibody) or his erstwhile ride-Xterra(ladder frame). |
Re: Which SUV To Buy? by Fhemmmy: 6:32pm On Oct 29, 2014 |
abrahamolusoji: There are lots of Highlander that are 4WD |
Re: Which SUV To Buy? by Nobody: 7:11pm On Oct 29, 2014 |
abrahamolusoji: Highlander is not an AWD, its a 4WD without locking diffs. Even Toyota asserts that. |
Re: Which SUV To Buy? by Export1: 2:57pm On Nov 05, 2014 |
These 3 SUVs are considered to be the best to buy: 1. Renault Duster 2. Ford Ecosport 3. Mahindra Scorpio |

Personally, if I lived in Nigeria, and was mostly traversing bad roads, I would be looking at the Land Rover Defender 110. It is a true off-roader, and virtually indestructible. SUV's with independent suspension are fine on tarmac, but less capable off road, which is where a solid axle truck will shine. |
