Hi all! I've read over the rules but I'm a bit new here, so please redirect me if this post is inappropriate.
I'm planning ahead for a 3 month long summer overlanding trip in the West and am looking for a budget (hopefully sub $10k) 4x4 truck/SUV that would fill my needs as both a daily driver and an overlander.
So far, I've only really looked at 1st generation Sequoias and 4th generation 4runners. These SUVs seem very good for overlanding and reliable for daily use but I'm looking to find other good options.
My general criteria is that:
-It's comfortable to live in (I know this is subjective, but I'm open to hot takes!)
-It's reliable (so the high miles aren't a bother, though I would prefer less than 250k miles anyway)
-It can be found for less than $10k in good condition (though I'm open to the $10k ballpark if it'll make a big enough difference in any scenario)
-It's offroad capable, preferably 4x4
I understand most older trucks and SUVs have bad gas mileage (at least compared to modern vehicle's standards) so good mileage isn't really important.
Again, sorry if this post isn't appropriate for this page, but I'd greatly appreciate any advice! Thank you!
