Land Rover training day

Nov 13, 2003 7 Replies

I was on a Landy training day today, we drove all 4 models off road. The big surprize was the Freelander TD4, It was amazing, it managed everything with no probs, what i found really good was the funtion of HDC, great!



Also the new RR was outstanding, more than capable even better than the defender 90. But who would honestly drive a New RR through such a terrain?? we pushed it to the limit, 60 cm deep water, drove down 50 cm steps and then up them!



I would say land rover really have developed some excellent offroaders.

50 cm - thats about 10 inches, thats not off-roading, thats called a kerb! :-)

Where did you do it, as Im off to Skipton on the 25th for a day.

It's about 20" actually!

Most people vastly underestimate the Freebie offroad.

Although I agree the new RR is great off road, I'd put my money on the 90 in extreme conditions (having been in both in quite severe stuff). At Billing last year one guy was taking a brand new Rangie round the offroad course, although he got a boo for taking the water a bit gingerly! Good on him, top stuff.

more like 20", though. which is a fair step.

It would be nice if I could drive my 2003 RaRo on the ROAD, let alone off it :-(
