Hi all,
It happens that my parents want to join me and my GF on some overland trips. That will include mostly south and eastern Europe and Morocco.
They currently have a very good condition, stock, 2005 TDV6 Disco 3 (LR3). Never had any big repair, but received a new turbo and alternator last year.
They like it, it's crazy confortable and versatile, but they're skeptical of the LR reliability for overlanding, specially after their past Disco 2 TD5 and RR P38 experiences.
They were impressed by all the Toyotas I photographed on my Dakar trip so went to see a new Hilux Revo at a local Toyota dealer. They had a test drive and liked it a lot. The dealer offered a good deal.
So, right now, they have two options:
A) keep the Disco 3, spend 5 or 6K € to equip it and enjoy the confort and offroad abilities.
B) sell the Disco and some other car they have and buy te Hilux, then slap it with 265/75R16 tires, OME suspension, underbody protection and be done with it, enjoying new car/Toyota reliability.
Any of them will receive a hard shell roof tent.
Which one would you prefer for overlanding on the regions I mentioned?
Thanks
PS - I'm cross posting this on the Land Rover board to avoid any brand bias
