The 4Runner is great because it is more affordable than Landcruiser or Defender, but still is a capable 4x4.
With the Mitsubishi please check for any issues with that specific model. Don't know about the Pinin, but some of them have engine problems waiting to happen, others are fine.

Yes I understand, but I don't agree with your outcome.
What good is a very capable 4x4 if you bring it to Africa and it is overheating all the time or something breaks and you cannot service it?
I'm okay with a Niva for central asia and so on, because even if it breaks a lot, you can get it fixed.
If the vehicle is not reliable and/or not servicable, then automatically you should not be very confident to take it on long trips and offroad.
