    Good for most territory

    Ford Ford Advice Ford Territory Ford Territory Advice Ford Territory 2009 Suzuki Suzuki Advice Suzuki Grand Vitara Suzuki Grand Vitara Advice Suzuki Grand Vitara 2009
    I AM considering updating to a Ford Territory AWD. My off-road use isn't extreme; it's driving on the beach, loose sand, and around farms. I have asked owners of the AWD Territory, but the answers are conflicting. Is this vehicle suitable for my requirements or would I be better off with a Suzuki Grand Vitara four-wheel drive?

    THE Territory will do everything you want. It's not a four-wheel drive as such and won't go where a Patrol or a LandCruiser would, but it is quite capable off the beaten track. Ground clearance can be a problem in really rough going -- we grounded one in a deep wheel rut on a forest track, flattened the fuel tank, and knocked off the rear bumper on a steep climb when we tested it a couple of years ago. Despite all of that it kept going.
