maybe, also into a lot of other territory if you dont worry about the towing thing, mercs bmws audis.

Thing is you gotta like what your buying, i liked my old range rover and i cant see anything wrong with the new one.

As a family, weve owned many of Solihuls finest.  My dads finally sacked off L/R R/R and now gone Jap and not looked back.
Hes got a Hilux and its so much better at towing and offroad. Thats the 3.0L D4D engine.

better seems relative from here, the 4.6 towed what i wanted when i wanted and it felt effortless.. the new one has even more torque, i cant really ask for much more.

off road isnt really an issue since im not likely to risk mashing a £15k+ car into the ground

Bit different, but we lug cement, mini diggers, all sorts of construction equipment and a large caravan, and seems to still get an average of 30mpg.
At the end of the day, you pays your money, takes your choice.

But remember, a lot of Defender/Disco parts fit the Rangies but at a much lower cost.

Top Gear shoved a Toyota Hilux pickup on top of a block of flats, then demolished them, it still managed to start up and drive. Although I would put a roof on the back to make it more secure.

dont spend so much money on a big stupid thing like that, theyll probably be banned soon anyway.

you could get a proper car for that sort of money.

what about a 04/05 530d SE ~ £15k, thatll tow anything and you can have some fun when your not towing.

Ill give it 3 months tops with that crazy-ass custom (read flaky) sh*t going on at the rear.

Or not.

Its not custom, crazy or flaky, its common and just increasing the articulation the vehical already has.  Maybe if you did it to a Micra it would fail but not this.
