Best car for 2 mile track with 40% gradients, rocky surface?
Discussion
Landcruiser or HiLux. Could get a SWB LC but the HiLux could be really useful for carrying stuff, collecting firewood etc. The last thing you want is unreliability. Oh, and the strongest tyres you can fit, along with a couple of spare wheels / tyres and trolley jack at the house ready to go.
One of these would probably do the job. You can put all your stuff in the front too! You’ll get wet if it rains though.

Will you AirBnB the place?
AirLiftBnB? Transition day would be like the Fall of Saigon. Will you AirBnB the place?
Just need to say that the driveway is 'a bit steep' and let them enjoy the surprise

My wife and I were looking at accommodation in Skye a couple of years ago and came across a cottage described as the perfect getaway - no mobile phone signal, no wifi, no power - you drove and met someone in your car, who then took you to the house in their 4x4. They provided a CB radio and it stated you'd have to check in daily to let them know all was ok.
Same place I wonder?

We've got the chance of a wee cottage on the isle of Skye for silly cheap money BUT the 2 mile access road has rocks and stones 1 inch to 2 feet across and 1 in 2.5 gradients. Land Rover short wheelbase seems the logical choice maybe about 10 years old but can anyone suggest anything else which may be ok? It's narrow too.
Thanks.
You’ve got to share the link now. Thanks.
What’s the possible budget to fix up an access road?
