As an editorial staff, we have picked a 2012 overland SUV of the Year, but we are also interested in what the community would choose.
When making your choice, try to set aside personal brand bias (as much as possible ) and pick the SUV that best encompasses the attributes needed for long-distance overland travel.
Things like:
1. Reliability
2. Capacity (Payload)
3. Range (both MPG and tank size)
4. Capability (trail performance)
5. Durability
What is the list criteria? It must be a 4wd with low range and be generally appropriate for overland adventure travel. Some models were excluded for space/appropriateness. We apologize in advance that the Infiniti QX didn't make the cut :ylsmoke:
These are just SUVs currently available for sale in the US. We will do another poll for trucks and another for global SUV offerings.
Thanks for your thoughts and vote!
Here are the finalists:
Chevrolet Tahoe
Ford Expedition
Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland
Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon (early 2013 model release)
Land Rover LR4
Land Rover Range Rover MKIII
Lexus GX460
Mercedes G63 Gelandewagen
Nissan Xterra
Toyota 4Runner Trail Edition
