Safari Vehicles in America

Mmm...not sure bout that..prado is the version down from the lexus 470 which was the upmarket version of the "ordinary" land cruiser.....could be confused due to different modelling in countries....but no prado I know ever came with a v8

With all due respect that's not correct. In the United States 'US" as I stated. The Lexus GX 470 is a V8 version of the land cruiser prado sold only under the Lexus brand. The land cruiser prado was never sold here commercially.

My wife drove a 2017 Lexus GX460 for several years and it had a V8 and the mileage sucked. About 16mpg combined. It was a beautiful vehicle and very capable off road but too damned nice to treat it as an off road vehicle.

I hunted "Mad Max" in West Texas exclusively for many, many years. He is a '75 Blazer Frankenstein (built by my buddy) and will go anywhere, but is hot when it's hot, cold when it's cold and always dusty (unless it's wet out).

As I got a little older, the creature comforts became a little more important to me and I finally shifted over to this 2018 Willys to help moderate the elements.

The 62 Willys only comes out on sunny days, lol!

If I remember right, that one would be ~$280K if ordered!

Totally different vehicle than you guys, but my Z71 suburban has done pretty well. 2011 with 112k on it.

You could go this route if fuel mileage isn’t a concern. 10-15 MPH depending how much armor and other trinkets are removed.

Way, WAY better to have the deer carried in front than on a hitch in the back, where the road dust boils up, coating the deer in a heavy layer of dust and dirt. Especially so if you go down an unpaved road at 30+ mph.
