Without a budget?? Ah kung ganun Toyota Landcruiser ako, the thing is a tank and its so reliable.

Definitely the LandCruiser.

There is no diesel variant of the GL-class (or any other Merc vehicle except the Viano) here in the Philippines. Only the GL450 is available.

mid-size - either everest or alterra ako

full-size/large - definitely land cruiser. parang wala nang iba e.

[ianmitsulancer]

Mitsubishi Pajero 3.2 D-iD or 3.8 MIVEC

Landcruiser 200 all the way...
hail to the King of the off road and on road...

Fortuner? Only in 3.0 D4D, but the Everest's engine is better. I don't really like the on-road ride of either SUV, so I'll give it to the Everest for the better AWD system and engine.

It's impossible to find fault with the Landcruiser, but at 4.5 million pesos, that's big bucks for this big bruiser. Still, it's a great vehicle, and one Toyota that definitely lives up to the hype.

Otherwise... most of the "SUVs" on the market nowadays are road-going cars rather than serious off-roaders. Too bad the big boys have all become gentrified.

I'll chime in here to say, that the best off-roader available on the market today is...

The Suzuki jimny. Walang kapalit.

[scharnhorst]

The old land cruisers and defenders for sheer off roadability.

Then there's the HMMWV.

fuel costs be damned... I vote for the BMW X5 :evil:

[niky]

Fuel costs? hell, X5 3.0D... or, hopefully, if they release one, X5 3.5D

Can you say... fun?

Power sliding a BMW X5... scary but lots of fun. Too bad I was too chicken to try it out when I had the chance. All I got was a slight four wheel drift through a couple of corners when I tried to maintained my momentum on wet road conditions.

[niky]

The X5 is actually easy to slide in the slaloms... but on the road, it's not something to do if you've got a heart condition... ...four-wheel slides count... any car that's balanced enough to slide that way gets my respect, whether or not it can powerslide...

Our current tester can *ahem* kick out with little four wheel drifts, but it's a front-biased AWD and AT... still, respectful. Not quite as playful as an X5, but very very good.
