Sorry, this is probably the worst first post, but anyone taken the first shape Kluger offroad?

No

Never seen one off road and wouldn't recommend it. Maybe beach driving (with someone to pull you out) and flat dirt tracks would be ok.

I spent half a day driving one around the Sydney caravan camping and 4x4 show test track a couple of years ago and found it would do most things but you had to drive it very differently to a regular 4x4.

Thanks guys, knew id get shutdown

Basically looking for one for the wife, but being me would probably want to take it offroad. I wanted a Prado but its too big for her and too much $$ to maintain. Im not looking to rock climb or deep fire trails, maybe the occasional snow trip or stockton beach!

Thanks CV, thats good, but i have never driven offroad before, ive driven plenty of 4wd's but always on road..so its all new to me

Cheers!

Mate runs a the "new sales" in a Toyota yard and reckons to stay clear of them; didn't give me specifics but said they are crap.

Why don't you take a look at a suzi vitara or something like that? Tiny bit smaller and a bit soft for my (and prob most of outerlimit's) likings. but it's got low range and will probably do the soft stuff what you're on about. Mate's dad has a Hyundi Terracan't he drove it up to cape york last year. I'ts based on a pajero platform. Get a diesel. Cheap as chips. Do lots more than a Kluger.
