Land Cruiser's rule... plain and simple....
But seriously... depends on your type of wheeling.
I'd never take an FJ40 out for the trip I took last summer. 70 miles @ 2 mph in the heat of Canyonlands National Park? Uh-uh.... 80 series cruiser... A/C, leather, and my ARB fridge. I even embarassed some Heeps while out there...
Rock crawling? Hmm... that's different... maybe an FJ40 w/ 1-ton's?
Muddin? Ugh. IH8MUD.
I'd hope you wouldn't take a $65000 rig offroad... sounds like you're referring to a NEW 100 series cruiser. They're great for fire roading and camping... but for EXTREME wheeling, I'd leave that at home and pick up a cheaper rig... say an 87 Yota and SAS it or something.

The Rav4 is a car. A small, slow, cheap, easy to break car. Teenage girls love em...
The Highlander is a car. (it's based on the Camry, a very good car...) But it's pretty nice.
The 4Runner is still 'essentially' ruck based. Lose the stupid running boards and go whereever you want - it can take it.
The Sequoia is based on the Tundra. It can take a beating just fine, but WILL take a beating if you take it on trails.
The Landcruiser...aahh the Landcruiser, the most expensive vehicle to ever bear the Toyota badge. Odd duck the Landcruiser - it has the best offroad equipment, it's the strongest and most off road capable SUV Toyota builds, yet it only comes in shamefull luxury... IF ya got the dough - you will never regret buying one of these and taking it off road. OR- buy a Highlander AND a Taco....
Trucks - what can you say? Toyota still makes trucks. They still have Ground Clearance. They will still take you where you want to go, take a beating and will bring you home. Really hard to say that about a Nissan or a Ranger or an S10....

everyone has their own wants in a off road truck.. personally i have alot built up in my engines.. handbuild by me.. the truck its a 89 pickup.. 4x4 of course and is currently in the process of getting a soild front axle.. its plush on the inside so you forget all about the mud flug all over the outside or hanging half way down a gorge.. and personally when im out on the trail and i see all these guys there there four-runners im glad i have a pickup.. cuz i get a great view when im campin under the stars. but like i said.. its all about prefrences.. i like 1st gen.. youll find people that like a completly different spectrum of trucks and SUVs.. but for me.. give me my 89 yoda anyday.
rock on,

Are you talking about a new toyota? Bone stock?
My guess would be a taco with the e-locker. Sequoia/LC are too big for the trails around here, not sure what you're used to though. 4Runner is basically a Taco, but no locker option any more ( ). Rav4 and Highlander are my generation's version of the station wagon.
Get a taco with the locker, dump the running board/nerf bars/step rails, whatever it comes with and put some good ATs/MTs on it and you're set.
