Small 4x4 hatchback or rear door

[Ranger22]

I have a Jimny and a Mitsu SRX both used for shooting and dog. Jimny’s rear seats were removed the day I bought it so pretty good boot space now - I love my Jimny (side rear opening) but on a wet day the raised door of the Mitsu provides very welcome shellter.

A Jimny was my first choice but getting an unmolested one at a price I like was impossible. The Rav was a bargain !

I know what you mean - I sold my 2005 Jimny earlier this year after putting just short of 100k miles on it (total 139k) and took a loss of £300 on what I paid for it 12 years ago!
Still have my 2008 one though - appreciating as I type……

The dusters seem to have a lot of ground clearance

Here is a comparison going up a ski slope.

If you do foxing then side hinge is indispensable as you can shoot off the roof. In my case I have a 400mm wide plastic board across the roof rails so I can rest rifle on it rather than the roof.

You can get two reds into a Duster with the seats still up no bother at all if you take the the head and legs off and that’s without stacking them.

Is that in a tray or lose?

Loose on a tarpaulin. You could easy get a tray that would fit I’m sure.

I had a Lada Niva just like that one in the vid posted by Bavariabrit. It was a real mountain goat when chasing sambar in the mountains.

Jokes aside, they are a rated off roader.

Ditto a Subaru Outback, basically same height as the Sub. Forester, good boot space - with a liner of course, have had 5 red deer hinds in with the back seats down.
Edit: Outback has an overhead tailgate type, but the key benefit is the slightly lower tail lip height, a bit like the older quads versus the newer ones, the 3-4” less height making loading them far easier than the newer models.

@Freeforester what liner please? considering hatch bag or rhino, but seen some poor reviews here for Rhino
