most capable 4x4 australia Page 8

Asking for "the most capable 4x4 in Australia" is like asking which ute cooks the best snag—depends on terrain and patience.

Toyota LandCruiser 70 Series

• Pros: Live axles, low-range, factory lockers available, and an aftermarket bigger than the Nullarbor.
• Cons: Medieval ergonomics, pricey, and not much fun on the commute.

Jeep Wrangler Rubicon

• Pros: Front/rear lockers, sway-bar disconnect, short overhangs—proper rock-crawler kit.
• Cons: Smaller payload and touring range; road manners are “characterful.”

Pick based on use: remote touring and payload lean Toyota; technical trails and play days favour the Jeep.
