ahh see, thats only if you care about the vehicle. we pivot turned off trees on some colorado trails without too many issues.

also looking for something that can do tight trails, tow 7500lbs+, and also seat 4 adults comfortably seems like a catch 22 through and through. too many hands in those jars. id rather ship a dually i dont care about body panells in the woods rather than try and tow 3500kg with 4 adults in my wrangler

I had the rear fenders of my dually coated with a PPF to help protect the paint. So far it still looks new. That, and the fact that it is white helps with brush scratches. Still, it is no Wrangler, or Power Wagon for that matter. I think the OPs list of requirements is a reasonable wish list. Too bad they don't make such a vehicle that is affordable.

I don't consider the diesel Power Wagon to be a Power Wagon. No winch. No Articulink suspension. No extra ride height. It's basically a regular Cummins truck with a front locker. I'll pass.

At least there wasn't a cost limit on the list of requirements. Neither a Raptor nor a Power Wagon are inexpensive.
you can get the ram tradesman with a power wagon package for a decent price and the bones are the same just not the fancier interior and stripes.you save about $10,000 or so going that route.

My nephew has a new Land Cruiser Takes premium fuel and he said it doesn’t get great mpg. I drove it and it is nice driving. I think it would be a decent choice if you weren’t going offroad

Any year/model of them would do just fine. The 40 wouldn't meet the towing criteria, though.
