2011 Four Wheeler of the Year

Jeep Grand Cherokee vs. Lexus GX 460 vs. Land Rover LR4

By Sean P. Holman, Photography by Four Wheeler Staff

2nd Place: Land Rover LR4
What's Hot:
Shocking dirt performance, great engine, airy interior, visibility
What's Not:
Expensive, hidden recovery point, very complex
Our Take:
The one to pick if you like to wheel with a computer
From the Logbook:

  • "Visibility is unmatched by any other SUV."
  • "I wasn't impressed at first with the LR4, but in the end, it won me over."
  • "You can't just get in the LR4 and drive-the learning curve is very steep."
  • "More Jeep-like off-road than the Jeep in this test."
  • "10 extra points for the tailgate."

 At least Jeep was proactive and fixed the issue that lead to the failure, Landrovers will still roll off the line with heat prone air suspensions, and toyotas with inadequate everything else (hope you don't tear your Xfercase out from under it).
XJ6600
 So the only vehicle to NOT suffer a mechanical failure comes in third?  Sorry but I'll take reliability over "dashboard styling" when choosing an off-highway vehicle.
