I'll opt for the Power Wagon with 37" tires and 10MPG. Love the view in the Discovery with all that glass though.

I remember when 33" tires were huge. Then 37" tires. Now 40" tires. Most people who buy this truck will buy it because they think it looks cool. I have 245/75R16 Duratracs on my Series 1 Discovery and I love that vehicle. I have 235/85R16 BFG Commercial AT tires on my Defender and I love that...

Yes, in 1991, people bought vehicles with lockers and 31 inch tires. 25 years later, in 2016, people want larger tires on off-road trucks.

I would argue that essentially no one is going to go with smaller tires on a truck like this or swap out AT tires for P-rated tires. That you can't even fit 32" tires on an "Off-Road" truck with lockers front and rear without major modification and essentially throwing away the suspension that...

But you don't on the Jeep. You guys are forgetting that Jeep is coming out with a pickup next year that will compete directly with this. It is going to have a diesel. Going to have lockers. And is going to be able to fit at least 33" tires with no modification. This is why they missed the ball.

Because people don't want a truck with lockers front and rear with 31" tires. It is not what sells. The G-Wagen has that setup and off-roaders bemoan that setup. No one is going to buy a $45,000 truck with lockers front and rear with p-rated tires. The Rubicon comes with 32" tires and almost...

I am sure you have all seen the ZH2? Which is their fuel cell prototype vehicle. https://techcrunch.com/2016/10/03/chrevolets-colorado-zh2-fuel-cell-army-test-truck-is-made-for-modular-power/ If actually implemented with the military the fuel cell would likely run on ethanol, not compressed...

Until you are in an accident with a fatality and you were loaded over manufacturer's stated GVW

Thought of the H3T with Adventure package as well when I saw this truck. Modern diesel engines are marvels of engineering, but the finicky emissions systems really let them down. The best option would be something like the Cummins 2.8L Ethos engine which runs on Ethanol with the duty cycle of...

My Land Rover 110 meets all of those requirements.

Not so. The determining factor for tire size in vehicles like this is not engineering but government regulations for things like bumper height compatibility, fuel economy and crash test standards. Towing standards and payload are also affected when tire size changes. Look at the Ram Power Wagon...

Very glad they are making this truck. Never been a fan of Government Motors but this is good for everyone in this segment. Also makes Ford think about an off-road version of their F100 that they should announce next year. This will not compete with a solid axle truck like my Power Wagon or my JK...

Will post some pictures of the tank mounted when I get a chance.

Just thought I would share my experience replacing my OEM fuel tank on my Unimog. I have a U1200 which is in excellent condition and extremely well optioned. However, it had a very slight leak from the fuel tank. Upon inspection the leading edge of the fuel tank had some corrosion from dirt/mud...
