1999 nissan elgrand 4WD

Oops! I have an 87 Landcruiser not a 79. Not sure where that came from but the question about the Nissan is what I meant to say.

Harry,
Have you actually driven one of those things? This is one of its reviews:
"The Nissan Elgrand is a luxury van manufactured by Nissan sold in Japan. It is available in seven and eight passenger variants, with rear or all wheel drive.The Nissan Elgrand is a serious people mover, it's features, style, power and luxurious features that far outweigh others, unfortunately with this awe inspiring people mover only being sold in Asian markets, the rest of the world missed out on these quality vehicles."
You will note that its capacity to handle off road situations is not even mentioned. I would be reluctant to drive this thing down the driveway to my old farm!!! This is NOT a 4wd!!! It seems to be almost the ultimate in people movers but that is all.

I read a good article about the Canter a while ago.

But this is a TRUCK, even compared to the 79 series. Google it and you'll find a lot of reviews.

"Am also prejudices against power windows and automatic transmission which seems a contradiction in terms for a 4wd off roader".

You've just got half this forum off side harryopal LOL, as nearly all post 2000, Patrols, Land Cruisers, Pajeros, Jackeroos plus many others would have power windows and a lot of them would also be auto, and all of them fine "real 4wd's"
unlike the vehicle you mention that would be too low to the ground as to negotiate almost any conservation mound as found on many dirt roads.

Does this car look to be a "contradiction in terms for a 4wd off roader" LOL

Iveco have a real 4wd van that would be just the thing for what you want and can be picked up from around $8000 - $24000
