What's the vehicle that only does everything? Reliability, travel comfort, passenger capacity, cargo capacity, tow capacity, offroad capacity, not too large to park and navigate in tight spaces. The ultimate practical allrounder?

I'd say J150 Toyota Land Cruiser Prado with the 3.0l 1KD diesel engine, with a 35" conversion
>>
>>17237565
What about parts for these? The 70 has been made for so many years and in such abundance for use all over the world that you'll probably get any spare part you want for another half century, but I'm not sure about the other Land Cruisers.

Also I've just realized they're basically the same size as the 70.

>>17237546
The Forester is more like it size wise, but I'm not so sure about Subaru engines, especially diesels when you wanna tow something.
>>
>>17237565
Its a vehicle thats been around for a few years, and still in production, aswell as being sold the world over. Parts won't be an issue for a long time

The 1KD engine is also very common, being used in the Land Cruiser, Hilux, Dyna and more.

I actually think the 70-series might be a bit tougher. Everything is available new as its still in production, but you have to remember that the vehicle itself has been phased out in most markets. Sure, they're still sold in the majority of Asia, Africa, South America, and Digeridoowille; but for those of us who live in either North America or Europe you might have a bit more trouble with parts, or atleast have to pay more and wait longer

One also has to take into account that any LC70 after 1992 is illegal in the US

... I want a modern 70-series so fucking bad, but they're so damned expensive and difficult to import and get registered
>>
>>17237626
Who gives a shit about the US? I know that lack of Land Cruisers pain though. They're like unicorns in Europe and priced accordingly, even old used ones.

I parked next to one of those the other day, and I was surprised that it was pretty much the exact same size as my Hilux, although that is with the hyuge bumpers they are apparently fitted with

I knew they were "compact trucks", but I always figured they would be a bit bigger than my cuck truck

I DD'd an 89 panther up and down a 13% grade in fucking Vermont for five years and never got stuck. I drove home from work when there was 6 inches of unplowed snow on the road and more was accumulating every minute.

Basically Subaru have been making "Crossovers" since the early 90s and everyone else is just now jumping on the bandwagon.

However, Subaru did it better first. They've had time to perfect it. Why do you think people are upset that the WRX lost its hatch/wagon variant?
>>
>>17237763
Can those things tow? I'm a sucker for Japanese stuff, but that seems to be their weakness unless you get some monstrous Toyota or something.
>>
>>17237967
I'm buying my first new car this year, and it's going to be an '18 Outback. I love wagons. This year is getting auto locking doors and steering-linked headlights. Might do a tasteful 2" lift eventually, I don't know.
>>
>>17238002
also, does anyone know when the rest of the '18 subarus are releasing? The '18 WRX is out now but none of the other models.
>>
>>17238002
Modern outbacks are pig-disgusting barges trying to fit in with the rest of the oversized crossovers. But I guess an old one would make everyone think you're a butch lesbian, so whatever.
>>
>>17238048

but anon, outbacks are fun :^)
>>
>>17238066
The old ones were funner. The new are generic.
>>
>>17238071
I agree with you that they are more generic looking, and could definitely benefit from some smaller dimensions as well. Ah well, I want a subaru wagon and don't want to buy a 10 year old car. And the Outback seems a little better than the Forester. If only they came in diesel.
>>
>>17238048
current production outbacks are the modern tribeca

something with offroad capability and tow capacity that's also not too large but can also carry people implies diesel engine midsize SUV

I don't know what is most reliable just google diesel SUV and pick one. I'd go with a Cayenne.
>>
>>17238092
tribeca had three rows and was a lot bigger , wasn't it?
>>
>>17238105
The new Mazda CX-5 diesel might be a good choice

v60 cross country is a fair contender. not sure what it can tow though.

s10 blazer does fit the bill OP, so does the trailblazer but it's a bit large and highly ugly
>>
>>17237791
I'd say either this or a B-body, especially with the tow package (which can actually tow shit without fear of breaking, unlike the Panthers). They're even bigger than a Panther, wagons doubly so, but people drove cars even bigger than that for years and had no issues, lrn2drive faget.
