I wonder which of the big 4×4 bruisers you\u2019d rather be seen in.\u00a0 I mean we are spoilt for choice when it comes to competent off-roaders that are, more often than not, seen on the smooth streets of Australia\u2019s main cities.\u00a0 Unless you have a reason to bush-bash, I bet you rarely take the mud grips off-road; or am I being a little bit presumptuous?\u00a0 Anyhow, of the go-bush 4x4s, which are the ones you would be rather be seen driving?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Are you going to want the showy-off Discos, Rangies and Lexus LXs for cruising the streets at night and taking the in-laws to the biggest shopping complex in the CBD?\u00a0 I can see the value in these premium brands.\u00a0 Who wouldn\u2019t want to impress others and offer a great night on the town in one of the most luxurious 4x4s around?\u00a0 Aside from the fact that they carry all the hardware for conquering Uluru, these are the vehicles that are sumptuous, proud and cocooned in leather.\u00a0 They\u2019ll sooth every occupant\u2019s whims, soak up the bumps and drive over the top of the poor sod in front who may dare to be in your way. \u00a0Satellite navigation is available on these models to get you from the coffee shop to the rest room, while parking is care-free – with all the latest Park Assist technology.\u00a0 Park Assist is a feature that tells everybody in the back seat that you have no idea where the corners of the big Rangie are – and even if you did, you wouldn\u2019t be able to manoeuvre yourself out of a paper bag!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Cayennes, X5s and Q7 V12s are the 4×4 performance machines that, though they may look impressively large and muscle bound, are left dragging the chain in any serious off-road excursion.\u00a0 Yes, they can hit 100 km\/h from a standstill in under 6 seconds. \u00a0Yes, they look impressive, and often offer luxury features to mimic a Rangie. \u00a0And, yes, they are 4WD.\u00a0 But take them to Uluru, and they are like a fish out of water.\u00a0 I still want one, though!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Then there\u2019s the Land Cruisers, and Patrols – and I\u2019ll throw in the Pajeros and Hiluxs.\u00a0 They\u2019re never quite a luxo match to the snobby Rangies or LXs, but they do know what mud is.\u00a0 Built with the Outback in mind, a trip to the top of Uluru and beyond is a walk in the park for these rugged beasties.\u00a0 I won\u2019t let the Land Rover marque down here, as I reckon the Defender is one of the most rugged 4×4 machines you\u2019ll find anywhere.\u00a0 This is the iconic off-road workhorse that can run with any of the Patrols and Land Cruisers to the other side of the globe, the long way!<\/p>\n

I know I haven\u2019t mentioned every 4×4 around.\u00a0 And, if you\u2019re offended, then you are probably as fond of 4x4s as I am.\u00a0 There\u2019s nothing quite like them.\u00a0 Big 4x4s can do pretty much anything: from running the errands to heading off to the CBD, from bouncing over the curb to taking half the cricket team to the next State.\u00a0 And, if you choose carefully, your 4×4 might just get you over the top of Ayers Rock.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s all about taste, anyhow.\u00a0 Don\u2019t you think?\u00a0 4x4s \u2013 you either love them or hate them.<\/p>\n
