I had a range Rover and it couldn't do this - that's why I bought a Hummer.

I've only driven 4x4's since 1967, from a 52, jeep, Power wagon, Land cruiser, Jimmy,Sierra 4x4, Range rover, Excursion, Expedition, GMC stake bodies, Suzuki's, Jeep Rubicon, etc. etc. etc.

I abuse my four wheel drives, that's how I rate them. This Hummer took everything I could throw at it,and begged for more.

I had it in snow over the headlights and it didn't even phase it, climbed like a billy goat, went through mud like a pig, and floated over sand like a camel, and could pull a freight train.

Of course the 5 miles per gallon was miserable.

Would a Series II do that ?? Thats not your average commute....

Some good tractors came from England.

Yeah, I suppose. Here's a picture of my IH2500b that was made in England... you be the judge

Just kidding, but really, it ran fine and the HST was still working strong when it went to the great salvage yard in the sky!

Have you never seen what landrover 90's and 110's ,defenders do with a few mods...**** sure that one spare wheel you have there would be touching the ground with a landrover ,Range rover is not a comparison .
Genuine land rover is a 4x4 to compete with anything ?
Range rover is a quality suburban that holds its own
Free landers and all that junk are not real landrovers and use a "Soccer mom" technology and were a flop like bmw's?
How many years did Landrover hold the "Paris Dakar" rally title (Now held by Japanese) to my dissapointment ?
Sadly ....Look at the "pimp" mobile today...Escalade or range rover ?

With British management in charge. I rest my case

Who is the world market leader of construction equipment ..JCB...British,outsell cat and JD combined ....TVR,Jaguar ...Who builds better ,Granted that the british have sold out recently but so has the US .They will not tell you so but the good old fords still outsell the germans in britian.
Nobody has a 2.5 turbo diesel like landrover .
When landrover went to the "TD5" the 4 cyl turbo went up for sale and british and US military took as a "De-tuned" basic motor and bought all they could get ...G wagon..Ha...Ha ?
