Ford still have a big influence - check the similarity between the Ranger and Range Rover bonnets - you could almost interchange them and the RR lights are heavily Ford influenced designs.
...it also looks like a 200 series Toyota and an Audi and a VW Toureg and a Porsche Cayenne ... But No don't blaspheme! Don't question. You'll get called a traitor. If it's got the green oval badge it must be awesome!Originally Posted by cuppabillytea
It does!! That's what I thought but I didn't want to blaspheme.
And it probably will be.
Just not in the way you want it to be.

Shame it going to be built in Slovakia......yet more outsourcing to the EU.
One of justifications for buying a Defender was that its built in the UK.

There's a thought, probably no more flat pack assembly.
Where did it occur in 2015.
A trivia question would be where did LR ever assemble
By all means get a Defender. If you get a good one, you'll be happy. If you get a bad one, you'll become a philosopher.

The Ford ranger is designed in Australia and built any where BUT. Is this the future for LR?
Cheers, Billy.
Keeping it simple is complicated.

The Ranger is a VERY impressive vehicle. I read a recent comparison where it even knocked off the new HiLux.

What makes them VERY impressive??
I have an 2012 3.2 BT50 (basically a Ranger) and a late 2014 hi-lux in my fleet......they both have pro and cons.
The ranger comes out in front because it has 3.5T towing, six speed auto, rear locker and is more car like inside. If you don't need 3.5T and all the frills than I reckon the hi-lux does all right, overpriced perhaps. The hi-lux drags our camper and three kids where ever we need to go.

I did a 4wd course recently, the instructor discussed a ranger that recently attended. When forced to stall on a steep slope, it went into limp mode and stayed there. So possibly hasn't been tested in a full regime of 4wd scenarios
