G'day all not sure if this is where this post belongs as I'm pretty new to the forum but I was wondering what would you prefer to drive as an all rounder vehicle?

Thats a hard one mate, all boils down to personal preference and what ya need it for. Fow example, I went and got a LWB because I've got family to haul around otherwise I would have gone SWB.
Ok open can of worms, here we come hahahahhabaahaha I luv me wagon as Ivan put the back seats down an roll the swag out an I've got a quick setup. No good when out with the family but for a boys trip it's sh1thot. It's got excellent wheel base to cover all terrains and looks tuff! But in saying that I got a soft spot for the utes especially the GQ version and if I was a younger single man a ute would be my preference I reckon! So probably no help to your Q sorry hahahahahaha
For me the ultimate would be a wagon cut down to a dual cab ute with a removable pod on the back. This would give me a family wagon with the versatillity of a ute.
Similar to the one below.

Cheers for your input fellas keep 'em coming

As far as traction and hills go, I reckon the wagons have better weight distribution (to beat the utes) and better wheelbase (to beat the SWB). If your looking at going the harder tracks, a utes lack of panels will lesson the damage. If you want to take more gear or sleep in the back then its a wagon. If you want to take your motorbike or be able to carry a load, its a ute. If you want more manouverability in the tight bush tracks but still keep some gear dry in the back, then its the SWB.Quote:

Jarrod,
IMHO this is a no brainer. Go the utes.

Good luck with your decision.
Take care out there.

I like the utes. there is less body to damage than a LWB you dont need to take passengers and a shorty is not a ute
camping is easy in a ute roll out the sway on the tray
