SUV Question

[danalwyn]

So, I'm looking for a reliable, tough, and fairly no-frills (and hopefully low-cost) SUV or light truck with significant off-road capability. This is not for me to buy (more for personal knowledge), but I'm trying to find a cheaper alternative to a Humvee. Do any of you have any sort of vehicle to recommend?

What size range do you need? Does it have to have a capper? What kind of off road conditions are we talking about? (Because different vehicles do better on different terrains.) While Land Rover and Jeep are often considered luxury items these days for example, the older models had a tough reputation for a reason. Jeeps are pigs on fuel though, and Land Rover has it's own issues. When I was driving the 4Runner for work I could take it places that I wouldn't take my current Chev truck. Depends.

Unimogs aren't cheap, but they meet all your other requirements. http://www.unimogsales.com/

My friend'd dad owns several; he uses them to go off-roading out west. He's since moved to Alaska (very rural Alaska)but I'm not sure if he can use them there or not.
