4 X 4, or, indeed, Chelsea Tractors!
(Chelsea is a very posh, monied are in/near London (all the same if you're as far North as me!)....and their bid, shiny, powerful gas guzzlers are used for private school runs...occasionally past Fields, but that's the closest they get! lol Hence, Chelsea Tractors!

A 4 by 4. Don't know why, that's what everyone around here calls them, force of habit I guess!

4x4, an suv is trying to be one and doesn't come close, 4x4s are proper working vehicles that can go off road, your suv lot just dream of this and they never see rough terrain or get dirty

4x4 is 4 wheel drive, most suv's are "all wheel drive" something not quite as good and is definitely not a 4x4.
