OK, I'm after some advice! I want to replace our everyday car, 2013 Ford Focus driven mainly by the boss, originally I was thinking a supercab ute, Ranger, Hilux sort of thing, but I now think it would be too big. So now it more likely to be a soft roader.
I want something I can take down dirt roads without having to worry about anything falling off. We aren't going to do really serious offroad stuff, but we do like to do backroads.
It has to be 4 wheel drive and a diesel, preferably manual, It would probably need to be able to tow a decent size trailer, if I don't get a ute.
Does anyone here have thoughts on a Forester, Outback, Escape, Pathfinder and the like?
Something like an Everest or big Toyota or something that size isn't really an option either, again, they are too big.
Some other things I won't consider are the new range of Chinese built SUV's, might consider a Korean, but probably not.
Anyone be able to give me some advice?
