The need a vehicle that have the capabilities to drive through deep sand (like the Groenriviermond road)
Sure, there are a lot of 4x4's that can do the job, but I also travel long distances, so fuel economy plays a big role.
My one friend goes everywhere with his Jimny, but that thing is just so damn slow. I can't see myself driving 1000km with it.
Are there any of those smaller SUV's that can handle sand?
If not, which of the proper 4x4's offer best mileage?

Jy gee n bietjie min inligting , soos kilos per maand , jou bedrag wat jy wil spandeer ens . Net sand ry en gemaklik hoee spoed teerpad sal my keuse wees x5 , x3 , q5 , q7 , softies sonder lr , dan Everest , fortuner, mu-x, disco , ens as jy lr ook soek. Die softies se brandstof verbruik gaan beter wees as die suv's met low range

Ok, laat ek dit anders stel.
Ek soek n ding wat op hierdie paaie kan loop, en hopelik minder as 9l/100km kan doen op die lang pad.
Ek sal seker maar 2de hands koop en wil verkieslik dan nie meer as R300 0000 betaal nie. Dit hoef nie iets luuks te wees nie, die voertuig moet net die job doen.
Ek het gelyk na die Amarok, maar weet nie veel van hulle af nie. Al my pelle ry Toyota of Ford, en ek self het nog nooit n Amarok gery nie.
Die ander opsie is dalk om te wag vir die nuwe Jimny.

Ok . Dit help . Ons is nou deur die proses om vir swambo n dubbelkajuit te koop en as jy dit kyk , hier is ons indrukke :
Ons het die volgende bakkies gery
2.4 hilux ( albei speks -- een vir myne en normale een)
Ons het nuut en 2de hands gery en die beste rygerief sonder twyfel die amaroks, voel net veiliger en meeste soos n suv. Maar al die 2de handse was so 2015+ modelle vur hier by die 400 000 mark. Izuzu 2de as dit by rygerief kom . Ranger 3de

Slag my maar af, maar ek sal maar 'n D4D Fortuner handrat koop.

Ek self ry 'n Fortuner, maar as dit nie vir sleep was nie het ek beslis na Toyota se RAV gekyk. Sand is sy kos. 'n Jimny is 'n heerlike speelding, solank die speelplek soort van in jou agterplaas is.

Meeste karre met 4x4 sal daai pad kan ry. Selfs meeste softroaders.
So as daai die ergste is wat jy gaan doen, en jy kort nie n groot 4x4 met low range nie is daar baie opsies. Jy kan rerig amper enige iets kies.
Karre wat ek sou oorweeg:
Amarok 8-spoed auto
Man, eintlik enige 4x4 diesel bakkie of SUV. Of meeste petrol softroaders. Kies waarvan jy die meeste hou.
Oja, jy kan amper n nuwe Suzuki Grand Vitara koop vir daai prys.

For R300K you'll get a solid used 4x4 Fortuner.
Or a brand new Mahindra Scorpio S11.
Or a brand new Mahindra Bolero DC 4x4 with a chunk of change
I'd stay away from the softroaders, if you can get a proper 4x4 now, do it. I've never been in a situation off road in my 4x4 where I though ooooh I wish I had a softroader.
Have a look at the previous Everest 4x4. Not stellar off road but heck they are a LOT of vehicle for the money.

"I've never been in a situation off road in my 4x4 where I though ooooh I wish I had a softroader. "
And btw, driving sand and fuel consumption cannot be used in the same sentence.

F I've never been in a situation off road in my 4x4 where I though ooooh I wish I had a softroader.
Of the 9906 posts you have made, these are probably the wisest words ever!
- You can get used Trailblazers with low KM for that price.
- As stated, the previous (ugly but brilliant) Ford Everest is a good option.
- You can get a just-ran-in Pajero for R300k
- If you are set on a Toyota then you can get a decent Fortuner at the price
- Test drive the 8 speed Amarok. It is a brilliant drive
- You can get a brand new Nissan Np300 2.5 4x4 diesel fro something like R330k - no frills

Unless back seat space is a priority, this will serve you well for, well, for ever basically.
