The Safari Porsche 911: Off-Roading the Alternative Way

People often think off-roading requires specialty vehicles. So, they put up a Jeep Wrangler’s or Land Rover Defender’s drawbacks to be able to crawl over rocks. Or they shell out large sums for Mercedes G-Wagons or Rolls-Royce Cullinans. But then they worry about damaging their expensive SUVs. And while inexpensive off-roaders like the Suzuki Jimny …

The One Toyota 4Runner Model Year to Avoid

The Toyota 4Runner has an almost legendary reputation for reliability, especially within Consumer Reports. Models regularly see 200,000 or more miles, due in part to the SUV’s old-school design. While the off-road-focused TRD Pro models command a premium, many fairly-new 4Runners can be bought for under $20,000. However, as with the Toyota Tacoma, there are …

When Mitsubishi Made a Classic Jeep

Mitsubishi has made its fair share of icons, especially when it comes to SUVs. The Mitsubishi Pajero/Montero has been a seasoned rally competitor, and it’s an affordable off-roader, too. But there’s one classic SUV that Mitsubishi made that’s little-known in the US. Which is a little surprising, considering it’s based on the Wrangler’s descendant. Before …

Why so Many People Are Buying 90s Mitsubishi SUVs

It may seem a bit strange to someone who grew up in the era, but Mitsubishi’s 90s SUVs like the Montero have become amazingly popular. Sold overseas as the Pajero, many Monteros are now old enough to be considered classics. But age alone is no guarantee of value or fame. So why are 90s Mitsubishi …

Reliable SUVs That Aren’t Made by Toyota

Toyota makes some of the most reliable SUVs on sale today. In fact, many of the most reliable vehicles on the market are made by Toyota. But reliability is only one metric. Toyota SUVs may be reliable, but some haven’t been majorly updated in a while. As such, they can lag behind slightly when it …

Importable Off-Road SUVs for Under $20,000

There are a few impressive off-road SUVs that never made it to the US. Various regulations also make it difficult and expensive for Americans to import them from abroad.

Some of the most reliable SUVs you can buy today come from Toyota. They’re not the most fuel-efficient, but they’re all capable machines that can serve as well as a pickup truck for most people.
