After watching top gear try and kill that toyota pickup they do make me want to give toyota a shot but the FJ just was missing 'something'. I dont know what it was but it definitely felt less substantial than the wrangler. The sequoia and land rover are HUGE maybe too big and expensive for that matter

My
 , go with that Wrangler (I'm a gut instinct guy, and despise regret). Sorry I can't help more because all I have is the Z. But my father got a 2011 F-150 and he does contracting for companies in southeast Virgnina. There's a lot of swamp and mud areas when it floods he pushes through, and he has no complaints. The problem with that of course is that it's JUST my dad travelling by himself. For the purposes of your family I can only recommend the option with the best safety, spaciousness and lowest price of upkeep. That F-150 is family friendly, but requires more maintenence than I am comfortable with. |

And in all fairness. Top Gear was using a diesel, which is always heartier than a gasoline engined car

Anyway, this thread im about to post had a very interesting argument on this topic that may help lead you in the right direction or confuse you? lol.  But i learned a lot since this thread.Good-Bye Jeep Liberty! WELCOME BACK JEEP CHEROKEE! I lean toward Jeep products myself. Any vehicle you buy in order to make it tough on terrain will need modification. There is nothing you can buy off the lot that's ready for anything. Hope that link helps?
