Boxy SUVs: every boxy 4x4 you can buy, new and used

Flat glass, upright pillars and a roofline you could set a level on. Every square-shouldered 4x4 we cover, from the ones still on sale to the classics, with what a good one costs, whether it has a solid front axle, and the years to avoid.

New boxy SUVs you can buy today

Used boxy SUVs worth buying

Classic boxy 4x4s

The originals, built before 1990. Buy the best one you can afford; rust and old repairs cost more than the purchase price.

Boxy SUV questions

Which new boxy SUVs still have a solid front axle?

Of the boxy 4x4s still in production that we cover: Grenadier Quartermaster, Ineos Grenadier, Jeep Gladiator JT, Jeep Wrangler JL, Jeep Wrangler JL Unlimited, Suzuki Jimny JB74, 70 Series Land Cruiser. Most new SUVs, boxy or not, use independent front suspension.

What is the cheapest boxy 4x4 worth buying?

On driver-quality prices from our October 2026 checks, the most affordable used boxy 4x4s are Suzuki Jimny JB23 ($5k–7k); Ford Bronco II ($5k–9k); Suzuki Samurai ($5k–9k); Jeep Grand Cherokee ZJ ($6k–12k); 2nd Gen Isuzu Trooper ($6k–11k); 1st Gen Pajero / Montero ($6.5k–12k). Check the years to avoid and the problems page for each before you buy.

What makes an SUV "boxy"?

Upright pillars, flat glass, short overhangs and a square roofline: shapes set by function (headroom, visibility, a roof rack that actually fits) rather than a wind tunnel. Most also share a separate ladder frame and real low-range four-wheel drive.

Driver prices are what a sound, usable example sells for, from our October 2026 value checks (mostly Bring a Trailer results and dealer listings); concours and project trucks sit well outside them. New-truck prices aren’t listed because MSRPs change by trim and year.
