Thanks. |
I do not intend to undermine anybody, but i think khaadu75 is the person who lives in such a terrain, i think he can help you out in this.

Ideally, I would like to be able to commute comfortably to work (in NOIDA) in it, but that is not an absolute requirement. I will be the only person driving it. And as I will be driving it for long distances/hours, driver comfort is important. I dont need a lot of room inside. I will mostly have a big bag/case of camera equipment, a couple of sleeping bags, a tent, supplies, etc. And one passenger most of the times. If the vehicle meets all my needs, I plan to keep it for a long time unless a better alternative comes out. Resale value, although important, is not as important as the other things I mentioned. |
One suggestion from my side, if you dont mind a used vehicle, you can consider a tata sierra, may be the one from the last year of its production, which could be relatively new. If not you can consider a restoration job of a sierra, if you have the patience
My dear fellow bhpians what you guys say in this regard?
