Best of new 4x4's on market

[Tom D]

I love the new Navara, if I had to replace the Landy tomorrow that would most likely be my choice..

Mind you, I have never seen a defender do this....

For me, it depends on the weight of the trailer and the surface.

 

In the yard I can't see a need even at the weight limit and, as four wheel drive with no centre diff comes into play, it wouldn't be a good idea anyway. (I am talking about the Hilux here, but I think the same is true of the Navara.)

 

On grass or in mud, yep - most of the time.

I only use low box when the mud is deep or 2 wheels are off the ground. Land Rover - best4x4xfar.....

A lot; it stops the clutch-riding but doesn't work when reversing round corners!

Sniff!

Wor 'owever 'umble 105BHP 1.6TDI Octavia wit der DSG transmission just lifted a 3000kg (weighed so I actually know) up a moderately steep lane with speed bumps and then manouvered said trailer back and forward, in around steel stanchions in a dutch barn.

Some 4 miles later.

With zero clutch slip or fuss, other than a wee scrabble from the front tyres, never pulling more than 3000rpm and only using D1 to pull away from a dead standstill, and then only v briefly.

Who needs 3 litres.
