pointer28 1 Posted January 28, 2008 Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 Have driven most 4x4 over the year incuding Nissan, Mitsubishi, Daihatsu, Range Rover etc and in my opinion none of them can match the Landcruiser. I drove thousands of miles usually with a loaded horsebox and none of them can match for pulling power. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dawn B 212 Posted January 28, 2008 Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 My boss had had 2 Landcruisers, the GS when it came out and the Amazon, both 4.2TD. Never let him down, built like a tank, he also had a Range Rover DSE, CRAP!!!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Point of note though... same team of icelanders took landcruisers to the south pole they took them to the magnetic north pole, not the south pole; two totally diferant places......still a bloody hell of a feat. South Pole, is in the Antarctic continent and no vehicles are alowed to drive on there, the MNP is in the northen Canadian territories.....
