It’s my off-road motto and the tapatalk signature.. obviously missed.. My point was that as a LR, I’m sure it will be capable off road, and maybe LR has eventually changed the QC signature day from Monday morning to another day of the week.. and eventually will turn into a reliable SUV. Time...

You can. But how does it change the outcome? LR took a truck that you could wash with a garden hose, and fix most of it by yourself, and turned it into an all computerized something also. And if there’s something LR doesn’t earn Medals for, is electric relatability.. So there goes the...

I was following the link trough tapatalk You stated: Unedited press release. Slowly..

Well put, but irrelevant. I’ve never said nothing against progress and development. If LR wants to try and built some “great” new cars and SUV, that’s ok. But comes a moment when you need to admit that the change in the platform is so drastic, that it’s not evolution of the model, but an all...

It’s a factory press release.. not Scott’s words. Sorry for being a part popper.. but it’s not a Defender, at least not for me. Defender it’s all about rugged simple off-road vehicle. Not a Disco in disguise wannabe. Toyota 70’ series is a living proof that even on 2019 you can build such a...

Can someone explain in simple words, why this truck is entitled to be named “defender”, while all I see is a new/another version of Discovery? Slowly..

Hilux was sold with live front axle until 1997, so naturally it had some improvement over the older versions. After 1997 there are even more changes. Most of the changes where made in the late models (1990+) when I want to order non OEM parts online for my 1997 diesel Hilux in need to look for...

You’re totally missing the point. We all agree (I guess..), that a Tacoma/equivalent size pickup in NA are not sufficient in load carrying spec, but the size is much more practical for off road use regarding handling challenging terrain, and maneuvering. I don’t need and don’t want more then...

The international Hilux is different then what was sold in NA. Brakes are different, and no problem stoping (useless handbrake though..). HD springs handle the weight so the truck don’t wander around. I’ve drove Hilux and equivalent size trucks fully loaded many times, and it’s a non issue...

No.. I was referring that in NA you’re limited to full-size trucks if you want real world load capabilities. Slowly..

I think this is considered descent “flex” (the counter rear wheel drops about the same). these are HD OME springs rated for constant 600lb load and max 1800lb, mounted in Original suspension brackets. Pictured with only 1/2 the load capacity on the truck when the picture was taken. Yes, when...

As a fact there are more then several mid-sized trucks that can and handle this load. Slowly..

My signature.. This is how I like to handle off-road. Slowly..

Fuelly shows you what you feed into it.. And if your user profile include x% idle+slow tragic+off-road+towing+highway+blablabla.. Then the results does take into consideration all the variables that represent your profile. Slowly..

No.. You can always load 1 ton on a semi with14 ton spare.. There’s always a bigger fish. The point is that for decent load capacity, NA are mostly limited to full sized trucks while out of NA you have other options. Not just Toyota. Slowly..

Opposite. Slowly..

I mentioned “20 years ago” as a proportion for the different approach between NA and the rest of the world regarding 1ton truck. A 2019 1tom truck outside NA are way refined machines. Slowly..

1ton is 1ton everywhere on planet earth. Slowly..

Not even close in Diesel engines. And when you can get have a 1 ton truck with 20+mpg real world numbers (more then 20 years ago..), that’s a huge difference. Slowly..

I own a 1997 hilux, it share some axle and mechanical parts. For example, When you use a disc brake that’s design for a 4ton truck, on a 2.5 ton truck with smaller engine, you get extensive durability.. this wasn’t an option in NA as I understand. The newer hilux share with the LC120-150 I’ve...
