New replacement 4x4 pickup

Meh!,

Simply cheap advertising for someone, 1 Company owner with FSH, & all tax deductible I presume.

Where are the pics Ken, been home two days now. Must of run out of buttons and switches to play with ?

I keep pondering this, for 3.5 ton towing 4x4 that isn't huge I keep coming back to the conclusion that a Landrover 110 is the sensible option.

But then I think 'sensible option' and Landrover surely don't belong in the same sentence?

The frightening thing is that there is someone out there that thought that was a good idea and spent their money on making it look like that. Utter clown.

I would love to be passing this motor stuck in mud or snow and offer to pull it out with the PTO winch on the front of my 1975 SWB Series 3 Land Rover.??

I've just recently bought a Ranger (the 3.2 manual Wildtrak) and it is actually brilliant. Don't use it off-road as much as some on here might when I'm out and about in a suit and tie of course, although I have had it off-road and it works well. Gives me plenty of confidence that I wouldn't be stuck if I had to get somewhere inaccessible. I don't have the "Raptor" pack yet of course...which looks like it probably gives it some extra...

*as long as you don't have to go up a slight hill, tow anything, go off-road, switch to 4x4, or do anything except roll down a hill.

 

Surely electric doesn't have the torque that a pickup needs for things like towing and off-road? Hence why they're all diesel...

Any strain on that electric motor and you're going to be decimating the battery.

 

Sometime being the world's only or world's first isn't a good thing. There's a good reason why this hasn't been done already.

Which is exactly what you need from a pickup of course!

Actually electric motors are pretty much all torque . Is it not permanent  4WD ?  What is the good reason it has not been done already then ?
