    New Defender stock search in the US?

    A dealer in NJ told me he will not have any Defender that has not got some sort of luxury trim/option. This, according to him, most likely involves the vehicles with the 2.0 engines and off-road packages. In that region no body wants to drive a some sort of strip down, “utilitarian” Defender. He...

    Do Full Sized Vehicles Make Good Overland Cars?

    The most of the domestic full-size trucks have decent payload. They are ok off-roading vehicles too. The unfortunate thing is all of them are “ unreliable”... according to the fan base the other manufacturer is crap and theirs is amazing. This confuses a hell out of me. There is no objective...

    New Bronco

    If I had to pick between Subaru Outback / Forester VS Bronco Sport. I will pick Bronco Sport. In NE, especially in NH and VT, everyone drives Subaru... It's some sort of a standard.

    New Defender Rage/Hate Thread

    This sounds interesting. Maybe Ineos and John Deere should team up? ? You know... since the Grenadier has that kinda country / farmish character too.

    New Defender Rage/Hate Thread

    JeepColorado Great video. Ford has haired the right guy. One thing to LR defense is that Bronco has been designed strictly for the US / Canada market. Wheres the Def has been designed as a global platform. Who knows maybe that's why the new Def is the way is. There must have been a...

    Upland Hunting - General

    Never hunted those birds aside from chuks. I hope very soon I'll get to hunt them. As much as I like the norther forests of the Great Lakes or North East, especially in the falls, the western landscapes offers something so distinctive that I find it very fascinating. Onec I drove from Tahoe to...

    New Bronco

    Ford absolutely has crashed it. It is probably the best looking offroad worthy vehicle. However, as much as I liked the new Bronco, I am more exited about the new F-150 and its new features as it more suitable for overlanding.

    New Defender Rage/Hate Thread

    As said above when it comes with numbers the new Def is basically beats many SUV's and even small American pickups. The interior and comfort tied to simplicity is very good. This is very important for long distance driving, especially on relatively flat but rough roads. I like the American and...

    INEOS Grenadier

    I suspect those only be available in UK and Australia. Maybe some day in the US they will have a conversion kit developed.

    Isn't it true you can't get a Def 110 on coil springs?

    New Defender Rage/Hate Thread

    In terms of the design and shapes Ford has absolutely rocked it. Bronco is true to its origins and character. In terms of payload numbers, well It is not meant for log distance touring, but rather having a blast with you pals in Baja or Mhoab. I like a lot. People make fun of Ford as if it is a...

    Why no Ram 1500 Builds!

    You are not wrong. however, as a pure hauling truck the leaf might be a better option, but nowadays trucks started moving into the overland world where the off-road capability and comfort is more desired. So I guess RAM has made a right call here. Their intuition is not entirely wrong. Tow...

    RAM has got the best rear suspension by far.

    Ford Transit Quigley vs Sprinter 4x4?

    Interesting, I did not know a Transit can be optioned with a tow mode. Has your van got a low gear?

    Upland Hunting - General

    There are woodcock in Louisiana, Arkansas and Mississippi. I would not be surprised if they make to the eastern parts of TX. The problem is that their habitat, like the ruffed grouse, needs a young forest and young growth. Since many states have resumed the forest industries and management their...
