I had a Range Rover in the Middle East fitted with the desert kit, long range fuel tank, dual radiators , dual batteries,  wide track and big tires, etc could go most anywhere, 

but so could the Land Cruiser, but for reliability I’d go for the LC over the RR anytime. 
Also had the old Subaru AWD which was a handy motor but couldn’t go to places the others could;

Cheers.

Mines got twin batteries two big old what look like lorry batteries, like you say though can’t beat the reliability, most important thing for me in any vehicle.

The Hyundai Santa Fe was a comfortable reliable motor, 4wd but no low box or diff lock so was a bit limited;

The Toyota was ok for going round the farm doing a bit of ferreting;

Cheers.
