Nissan Pathfinder or Land Rover Discovery? Which one?

Question

I want a heavy duty SUV, which is prepared for any kind of situation. I know Land Rover prides themselves on being prepared for the unexpected and I know that Nissan Pathfinders are kind of popular SUV's and are compatable with Snorkels (which is something I will be interested in investing in, in the future). They both equally suck on gas mileage but that's not what i'm asking. I'd just like to get your opinions on which SUV to choose? Keeping in mind, i'm an offroader, which involves swamps, rocks, fields and city lover, so highways and heavy traffic.

Thanks to all, I look forward to hearing your anecdotes.

Answer 1

Land Rover Bro definitely its also more expensive but from what you said your looking for thats the one

Answer 2

Nissan Pathfinder, is more of a soft roader. Its built more as a family run-a-round than an off roader, how ever it will go up a muddy hill, provided the tires arn't tredless, landrovers are my fav cars. They are brilliant both off and on road, however make sure you get power steering and get the manual not automatic, those are uselss off road. So I would recomened a land rover as they are simple to put back together if something were to brake, which is unlikely. Snorkals can be fitted aswell. If you got a landy tho, get  2inch susepsinon lift to give it abit more ground clearance and better off road capabilitys aswell as nice off road tires

Answer 3

Had a Pathfinder- not extreme heavy duty enough for your use and the Land Rover is way over rated and over priced. Look at Consumer Reports for the answer if you really want an unbiased opinion. I use them all the time for any major purchase and have always been satisfied. Good luck. Maybe the Toyota Land Cruiser  though it's pretty heavy- I personally would choose it over the Land Rover- parts for that would be out of sight too. Again look at CR.

Answer 4

NIssan Pathfinder.

The LandRover is good offroad, but it always breaks.

LandRovers are known for being the least reliable SUV's you can buy.

They also use premium gas.
