I looked at lots of 4WD/AWDs before signing for the JK and trailer combo. Came from a few Subarus (Fozzers and Libs), and while they're excellent units I was exceeding their off road envelope just too often. Tried a LR Defender: very practical and capable but too slow and uncomfortable. A Nissan X-Trail: bit too small and no diesel variant at the time. A Ford Territory: big, comfy but not enough ground clearance and very thirsty (again, no diesel). Hyundai Santa Fe and Mitsu Pajero SWB were high on the list...yawn. In the end, though, I reckon I would've ended up with a dual cab ute of some form, a Navara or Ranger most likely.
