Freelander

[penfold]

Shelanders will only pull 2,000kg but a proper land rover will drag 3,500kg, even an old series 3 can tow the same as a freelander. Better off with either the disco or defender tbh.

Defender all the way.

 

Freelanders for old men, townies and hairdressers....:001_tongue:

 

seriously though, if you really want a works 4x4 get a defender, or at a push a disco.

Really does depend what its being used for. My dad had a TD4 freelander for 262000 miles 240,000 were trouble free apart from servicing and tyres. It was chipped and returned 38mpg regularly on a run.

 

Offroad capability on a freelander is all down to the driver and whether or not the freelander has the HDC kit fitted. Not all freelanders had hill decent control and traction control as standard. I went to an independent off road driving school with work and the freelander there could get most of the places a defender could if it was driven by people that were taught how to drive a freelander off road properly. At the end of the day pay ya money take ya chances!

ew! have i just opened a can of worms by mistake....?

Not meaning to start a debate on the pros and cons of land rover products btw!

So if you own a freelander you are ; gay, a hairdresser, have exclusive parking outside the blue oyster club and a townie.
