UTV vs Limited use 4x4

[Bill dog]

Had a look on gumtree , 3-4 k can get u any number of Jimnys. Parts apppear cheap too. You ain't getting much of a gator for that cash! And you can listen to radio 2 while patrolling your empire !

What would a jimny type vehicle be like on wet steep muddy hill, I've had the hilux stuck twice and it's supposed to be summer! Clay under thin soil turns mud tyres to slicks

Jimny prob at least half the weight of your hilux. Some bobbly tyres and away you go !

Jimny here for the old man to run around in , mostly on the hard / only in fields when dry as its still on road slicks!
Burns a jerry can every 10 days to a fortnight . Keeps him & feeding dry & saves a hell of a wear / tear on the quad.

I'm sure a gator doing big hours would be needing tyres in no time so any fuel saving would be gone

The Jimny would be better off road than nearly everything with the right shoes on it @montydog

4x4 is much better option. Radio, heater, comfy ride. Plus cheaper to buy an run than a Gator etc. They are so over priced in my view for what they are. Noisy, rattle, not the best ride, no radio. Plus you can't tow that much with them.
