What car for Pilbara region?
Anyone on here give an informed view into what a typical 2 adults 2 kids family would need to get out and about in the Pilbara region?
I've heard about roads flooding and other hazardous conditions up there. Would like a new car but as budget would be under AU$25k and most likely a 4x4 of some description, but not sure we is a good choice in our price range.
Any advice please?

If you look at pilbara classies.com you can see a variety of 4 x 4's for sale. Where in the Pilbara are you going to

Re: What car for Pilbara region?
I would say a 4x4 is a must.
When we lived in Carnarvon for 6 months, not Pilbara but about 8/9 hours from Perth the town was full of 4WD.
Basically I had never seen so many 4WD in my life.
We have find 4WD is pretty comfy for the long distances between town North of Perth.
* I was also told to stick to Toyota, Nissan, Mitsubishi etc to ensure plenty of parts in case of break down. I was told to avoid Ford, VW etc as the parts would be expensive to get or may have a long wait for the part to arrive.
We have a Nissan and this make alongside Toyota are the most popular in my current town.
