Thinking about buying my first 4WD. I've got three kids but they are all still young (and short) so I was tending to lean towards something with reasonable fuel economy rather than physical size or load capacity. I understand the DAIHATSU ROCKY's have Toyota running gear (eg: "L" diesel motor as per Hilux). Would it be safe to assume that this makes them a reliable package? I've only just started looking, so if you think they are a bucket of cr@p, please say so, however a recommendation to another similar sized vehicle would be appreciated too. (Up to $15K including any mods that are required).

My needs are to just get off the beaten track a little. I'm getting sick of doing the same Flinders Ranges trips thru Parachilna and Glass's Gorges. Having said that, I'm a little far off attempting the Canning just yet! Something to get me to BIRDSVILLE (I hear the beer's cold there) and other similar places would be fine.

Please help to make my first 4WD experience a good one. I can't stand to hear my wife say "I told you so" when I'm on the side of the road with the bonnet up (knowing that she is right .......again!).
