This move makes their launch date a lot more realistic; I'm starting to get excited. It's not that far away (as these things go). Among the various offerings to consider for a new remote touring rig, Grenadier checks the most boxes for me right now.

Other manufacturers certify and sell modern diesels in the U.S. and California--why and how would it be different for Ineos using the BMW diesel?

If, like me, you're asking yourself, "what the hell is CANBUS?"

I nearly spat coffee through my nose. To their credit, JLR capably handled a terrible situation. I'd like to believe they'd do so with any consumer. TFL too has been very even-handed. Hopefully we can now move on to the intended review.

I certainly would not be surprised if it’s permanently discontinued in the U.S market.

Chances are Toyota will screw it up (if they even try). I am eager to be proven wrong.

To be clear, these are just rumors, and, however much hope I may hold out, I do not lay claim to their truth. We'll see what Toyota does. I'm actually quite skeptical. That said, I agree with your sentiments. Toyota made Land Cruiser largely irrelevant to consumers through a combination of...

Retaining the current chassis would distinguish Land Cruiser from other Toyota trucks and SUVs which, to my understanding, will share a new platform. For purposes of distinguishing Land Cruiser for its robustness and durability, this would make sense. Despite its robust mechanicals, the 200...

We can hope this is true--it would be the right move as long as they don't completely botch payload and cargo volume. Other rumors suggest '23-24 U.S. launch date. As for the iconic Land Cruiser, the U.S. model will reportedly be sold only with five seats as a “serious off-roader” without an...

I saw my first new Defender in the flesh yesterday. As others have reported, it's larger and better-looking in-person than appears in photos. Handsome, well-proportioned truck. I had to chuckle though, in that the driver was using full ride height to tackle bumper-to-bumper city traffic--a...

Build is coming along beautifully! Do you mind posting a close-up or link to the l-track fasteners used to secure this rack?

He is quite fussy, but, as a result, his analyses are typically excellent too.

Raising it does not constitute blowing it out of proportion. It's one example--a very public and embarrassing one because it is consistent with JLR's reputation for poor quality, reliability, and service. Still, it's the first year of a new model; problems will happen, and it's inarguable that...

Well, TFL is probably at the fore of "new Defender news" at the moment, however displeasing that may be to you. It's news because TFL's purchasing experience is highly relevant to prospective buyers. Like me. And yes, it is unfortunate that the rage / hate thread was shut down, because that's...

I too would like to understand how damaging or destroying a wiring harness renders the Defender a complete loss. I agree that it doesn’t make sense. It seems to conflict with claims that I’ve read here holding that, in order to avoid just this type of crippling centralized failure, JLR avoids...

When a JLR dealership destroys a new Defender while installing a factory warrantied option, JLR shares in that failure by virtue of its decision to allow that dealership to officially represent, sell and service JLR products.

The clickbait is JLR's spectacular failure, and nothing more. This has become an absurd situation. The longer it goes on, the worse it gets. In a very public and very embarrassing way, JLR is affirming its reputation of poor quality, reliability and service. Read the comments on that video--of...

This distinction is irrelevant to the consumer. If you buy a Land Rover, this is where your Land Rover gets fixed. (Or not.)
