This is just a rumour, but I heard of a Patrol that got stuck recently, and had to be rescued by a Transit?!

Did you hear about that Ed?

Landcruisers with an aftermarket turbo are good just not as strong gearbox,diffs.

the two biggest things to blame for a vehicle getting stuck are the driver and the tires its running on!

 

I ran a hi-lux on MT's and did many off road training courses I could get the hilux to follow any landy anywhere. What I couldn't put up with was the sea sickness, appauling road handling, lack of a proper low range, abismal towing capacity lack load carrying ability, its hunger for clutch kits, and most of all its rotting body on a 5 year old vehicle. I don't deny my Landy has its faults, but it'll still be working long after my old hilux is in the scrap heap in the sky!

not sure about hilux mpg but my L200 does between 250 to 300 miles to 60 litres.

the only landy you'll see a pikey/traveller in, is a top spec disco, saying that I know a few boys who had old battered Landys for hair coursing, i'll never forget the day a cousin of mine rolled at my dads yard, with a dented up defender, he'd just rammened an over zealous game keeper, and wanted to store it in one of our barns...lol
