Every day 4x4

[Tarrel]

Fair comment. Everyone's needs are different, which is why it's important to do one's homework before making a choice.

There are a couple of excellent books around that review the current systems of 4WD and the various models that use them:

"Off Roader Driving" by Tom Sheppard
"The Complete Guide To Four Wheel Drive" by Andrew St Pierre White.

The latter is biased to the South African market, but it does have an excellent model-by-model review of most of the 4WDs available, and is regularly updated.
