Everything else is basically a mall-terrain vehicle.

GX and LX Lexus and the Toyota counterparts are the most capable off road vehicles stock from the manufacturer. 4Runner is also good. G Wagon is great but it’s not typically purchased for off road use in the U.S.

Land Rover has gone to hell - still better than all crossover/car chasis “SUV” lines. But no where close to the Toyota platforms, for example.

Wranglers are like driving a UTV around. Sure they’re capable but you look like a weirdo. They’re fine in certain settings and for certain niches but people in DC area who use a wrangler as a daily driver are the same sort of people who slap a salt life sticker on their vehicles. For non daily drivers, you could probably get a used Land Cruiser for less than the price of a wrangler + mods to be comparable. 4Runner would also be a better bet as it’s capable stock and way more space at a low price.

For off-road/utility use, Toyota is best. But this is about “prestige” among city drivers - so I don’t have a clue. Bentley sounds right. None of us will own one.

Ahhhhhh…..DMV drivers. Paying for obnoxiously sized vehicles and off road performance when 99.9999999% of the drivers will be doing nothing more than driving 99.9999999% of the time to Whole Foods, soccer practices, and Target. The most off roading anyone does around here is going to the orchard for apple picking in the fall, lol.


SUVs should have an instant 200% tax for stupidity.

Have you ever considered that you have no idea what you’re talking about?

Have you ever considered that you’re a dumbass?

Basically, hardly anyone in the world drives SUVs except idiot Americans. That’s because every other country in the world recognizes how stupid SUVs are.

Ok, so you’re determined to prove you have no idea what you’re talking about.

It's true they have no idea what they're talking about. Most of these SUV's aren't even offroad capable. Even the AWD features on these cars isn't the type of thing useful for 'off road'.

All of the SUVs mentioned related to off road use are incredibly capable off road. Add another to the column of having no earthly idea what they’re talking about.

I love the Tesla Model X too.

The big Range Rover is actually pretty and elegant.
