The Land Cruiser has been the vehicle of choice for many military and police organizations around the world thanks to its unparalleled reliability. Additionally, off-road enthusiasts like them because they will go almost anywhere and will never leave them stranded. If it’s good enough for them, it’ll be good enough for you. The Landcruiser Prado is a slightly smaller version and is often still available with 7 seats.

Nissan sold the Terrano under the Pathfinder name in North America, but as we all know Japan always gets the better options when it comes to models sold in both markets. So, if you want the iconic Nissan Terrano, we suggest getting it from its motherland, Japan.

What can we say, the RAV-4 is a legendary SUV known for driving on the streets rather than on off-road trails. It was meant to be an SUV for the city, and it did that very well. To this day, you will still see older RAV-4s driving around thanks to Toyota’s great reliability record.

We’ve already mentioned its little brother, now it’s time to talk about the full-size version. Even though Mitsubishi never sold the Pajero in North America, it was a big hit in every country it was offered in. Its great 4×4 system and ability to take punishment with little to no hesitation made it a favorite for use in countries where roads are “optional”. Here is your chance to own one of the most iconic SUVs that we never got.

Arguably one of the most popular SUVs of all time, the Toyota Hilux or 4Runner as it was known in North America had it all: a reliable engine, great four-wheel-drive system, and enough space in the back for all your gear and pets. These SUVs are well-known to easily reach 500k miles without missing a beat.
