For their price and maintenance cost generally Toyota has some very viable off road vehicles that get the job done. Given how many I've seen in mining, exploration and onsite, and in farming they seem to be the practical choice. There is a range of other options for the city and Holden (GM rebadged) and Ford in Australia have options more for traddies (Utes) that go on construction sites.

Land Rovers were some of the best and as a kid I remember them on big construction sites like dams.

I have a Subaru Forester... yes its AWD... that just means its for suburban potholes, shopping centre speed bumps and rainy days ... not for an off road experience.
