A reliable true 4x4 for 35k is a 2000-2001 Nissan Pathfinder.

Absolutely right, I love this model

Pajeros and Prados are also reliable and true 4x4s, but for that price you have to go older.

What you say about Outlander, free lander 2001 model and Rav4

Outlander and RAV4 are reliable, but not true 4x4. Freelander is a joke in reliability.

Once I studied similar question and that time they suggested me Nissan Patrol (short version).

(No idea about the prices, sorry. )

Nah those aren't proper 4x4's, they're yuppie about town cars, for wannabe off roaders.

Short wheel base Pajero would be very good, reliable, good on and off road. However as someone else said you'd have to go for an older model, the 2000 model averages a 40,000 resale. Automatics are like gold dust, most manual transmission available.

Toyota LC,

Have mine from the 97 gxr still runs like beast in the desert.

try a later on model.

Today i tried Nissan Pathfinder 2004 model. Its wonderful 4x4.

Anyone have idea about its spare parts and maintinance cost, What you suggest about 2003 or 2003 model.

Please pass your reviews since im searching for it.

Cheers

'03 and '04 are same. Reliable, but remember to try the back seat. Even a Civic has more space in the back.

Is this problem of lack of space for back seats is with all 2003-04 Pathfinder models or some specific model?

All. The back is cramped for a 4x4.

Whats the Hummer H2 like? I know its a bit bling (which I'm not) but like the chance to own a mad car once in my life. Any good off road?
