The clocks have changed and the shorter days and longer nights are firmly with us. Though temperatures have remained quite mild up until this point, things will likely get significantly colder as we move towards the end of the year. That means more ice on the roads and the chance of snow in certain areas.
Both of these situations can be helped by a proper four-wheel-drive SUV, which brings improved traction and can travel over difficult surfaces more easily than a ‘normal’ car. If you’re on a budget, and you live in an area where winter months can make it difficult for you to commute or simply drive around, we’ve picked the best winter-ready SUVs on the used market. Toyota Land Cruiser One of the most reliable, dependable and strongest cars ever to drive on this earth is the legendary Toyota Land Cruiser.
For £10,000, you’ll be looking at an example with just under 100,000 miles – which for a Land Cruiser is still in its running-in period and will be a 120 series, which ran from 2002 to 2009. It comes with a 3.0-litre diesel or 4.
6-litre V6 petrol engine, while in terms of reliability, these engines were built to last and suffer from very few mechanical issues. The Land Cruiser is also excellent off-road and can seat up to seven people with loads of room inside, too. There is no wonder that drivers in uninhabitable places like the Australian outback and the deserts of the Middle East use Toyota Land Cruisers as the number one transportation choice.
