Hodakaguy Great build Sir. What is experience with the overall quality of the van? parts, the engine, etc. I really like the MB van but price and maintenance cost / availability seems to be a concern to me (based on some vanlife bloggers).

Why go with BMW? why not Ford? As far as I know BMW engines are great, but not mechanically simple. Though it might be the most charismatic engines as well. If simplicity is the virtue would it not be better to go with more simpler engines? Ford, MAN and Volvo being one of them... or even Toyota...

That's great. What kind of quail is it? Bobwhite? And where would be the location of the ranch? I assume it in the South.

That's because LR decided to design a cool vehicle... and they have succeeded as the new LRD is a very cool vehicle. It's not designed for a farmer in Scottish highlands or for cattle ranchers in Australia or Montana. The new Defender perfectly suits to a modern western man (oh sorry, I meant...

Well, the founder of the company is an avid outdoors man and countryman. He's been a huge fun of LR since he was a kid. He publicly begged LR not to screw up the Def. They did not listen and allegedly mocked him too. He said ok f### you guys and made this happen. I respect that. The new...

Yeah, I have not set in the Panda, though I have seen some videos and sure it does seem a fun car to drive. That dude has the back sits folded to put his dogs and gears in the car. But I guess if one has kids the Panda is not the option. There must be some other options over there.

Victory_Overland I came across something similar situation. Me and my gf were hiking close to Missouri Beaks in MT. It is a very remote area and the roads are very rough. When it rains there it turns into a quite dirt. There we saw a couple driving a Honda Ridgeline with roof tent on the top...

I was chatting with a guy in Italy who is a hunters and spends much of his time in norther Italy chasing the woodcock and grouse in the Alps. He drives an awd Panda. I jokingly asked him would it not be better for him to get a pickup truck since he has got 4 dogs and so much gear to carry... and...

I think there are quite a few kits that would make your ride easy. Also you would have some wight in the bed while you travel... so I don't think it will be an issue. You can keep that tuck for 10-12 years. This what I am planning on to do if I get a big truck. (but I can't because it's a pain...

Ineso Grenadier The vehicle that will carry on the rugged tradition of the 110 Land Rover. https://ineosgrenadier.com/ There is some interesting videos. https://ineosgrenadier.com/reveal/rising-to-the-challenge

One more thing, If I were only deciding between a Tundra Vs F-150 I would pick a Tundra. But, if I were to bring an F-250 in the equation then hands down, I would go with an F-250 FX4 6.2. gas.

Also you get a factory rear locker with FX packaged.

Toyota, who always lacked imagination and innovation instinct, will copy a lot of elements from the new Defender and will turn it in better, larger and more capable vehicle, the new TLC 300. :D

JackW Yes, prices is what makes it attractive form me. One thing if this engine can carry and tow a good amount of weight. I suspect those class leading towing and carrying numbers are or the bigger engines. Do you know what is a low range gear ratio of the new deff? (it was around 3.5:1 on...

I wonder what Scott thinks of the 2.0 gas engine.

The new 10 speed ratios are as fallows; 1st - 4.689 2nd - 2.985 3rd - 2.146 4th - 1.769 5th - 1.520 6th - 1.275 7th - 1.000 8th - 0.854 9th - 0.689 10th - 0.636 Reverse - 4.866 + 3.73 axle gear ratio (with an optional LSD) While this may not be too bad it would be great if vendors...

Well. I do read a lot and also post too. Though I am not as experienced as you guys are, Only ones I drove a transit van. From Queens to Brooklyn :D but isn’t it better to need as less after market stuff as possible? Btw has your van got ford’s terrain management system?
