Someone mentioned the Toyota Hilux, i second, that is a true off-road car. Once went past Maua toward Kiina during the rainy season in a Toyota Hilux Old model [with 2 axles and Leaf springs]. Took down that muddy black cotton soil terrain like a hot knife through butter. A Toyota engineer of then would have been proud. Only 3 cars rule that territory Landrover 110, Toyota LandCruiser [Not VX] and Toyota Hilux. There rest of the cars are called 'taxis' by the locals.

I think the Landcruiser looks better...especially a pink one would look very very very nice:-)

A Belated HNY-2011... :-) @Collins, any good off-roader will tell you preparation and pre-checks lists before a trip too important to avoid major problems. My personal favourite is Patrol but resale value goes to Toyota. However, also don't forget the Landrover 110 series and if you can get an ex-british army one, you will not go wrong on parts and endurance.

Happy new year skunks...
generally speaking, how do these models compare in terms of service costs, endurance, parts and resale value in the Kenyan market. How hard is it to get on your feet if you say, burn the clutch in Merti, or burst your gasket in doldol...
