If you get 3.5 liters engine then it's acceptable as opposed to 3.0 with LWB. 3 1 Let's root for each other & watch each other grow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's happy with the performance but it is not a dune-bashing kind of car. 3 2 "Go as far as you can see; once you get there, you'll be able to see further."

Few of the good and capable 4x4 in the list that's not at all useless but god damn expensive for dune bashing. Hummer H2 - Seen it doing wonders Range Rover - Brilliant and capable offroader Mercedes G63 - Probably the GOD of offroading with 3 independent diff locks - WOW Jeep Cherokee Land Rover Discovery Chevrolet Blazer Chevrolet Tahoe 3 1 Let's root for each other & watch each other grow.

Rahimdad Posted May 7, 2019 Report Share Posted May 7, 2019 The old Blazer and Tahoe don't even fall in the expensive category, no idea why they put it there. Arabian Adventures were using the Tahoe for 10 straight years instead of the Land Cruisers. 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chirag S. Posted May 13, 2019 Report Share Posted May 13, 2019 Good and interesting topic. What pros and cons someone should keep in mind before buying these old models? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
