Does a D4 have 5 child restraint points?

If one only has 2 kids, why would one want 5 restraints?

Another quality recommendation!

The 5 seater D4 has child restraints built into back of the seats

He should wait for the Everest... :P

So they get a $100k budget and couldn't spend it! Give me a go!!

I only have two kids but have been caught by lack of extra restraints for nephews, kids' friends etc, particularly when three car seats across the middle row is a challenge. Solved the problem by getting a L320 RRS... :D

And he actually gets paid to write that "advice". My dog could do better. Or at least no worse.

Re your comment Justin.
He was refering to the 2.7 TDV6 in the Territory.
Dont forget Territorys are heavy vehicles,around the same as a D3 or even worse!!!!

get a load of this then (linked in the article)

Jeep Grand Cherokee Summit Platinum v Land Rover Discovery 4 SE head to head comparison (http://www.drive.com.au/motor-news/jeep-grand-cherokee-summit-platinum-v-land-rover-discovery-4-se-head-to-head-comparison-20150410-1mfix0)

They call that a road test .... Did they even drive them :confused: Who give a crap about "looks" and "specifications"... How do they compare with 3tons swinging from the towbar ..... what about corning on corrugated roads ... what about *anything* useful. The land rover is apparently better offroad because the spec sheets say it has something called hill descent and some other bull**** :confused:

Do they only hire morons to do those types of articles :wasntme:

Not meaning to cause a stir, but have YOU actually driven one?

[DoubleChevron]

Of course not... Neither.... But that's just it ... It reads like I wrote them .... Someone sitting there reading spec sheets :wasntme:

My cars are all old crap.... I excel in collecting garbage :) ... and having a ball actually driving them :wasntme:

Who cares what the interior looks like ... or what electronic crap (that'll break not long after the warranty is out) it has. What's it drive like? what's it tow like? does it corner ok? How does it handle corrugated roads etc.... ie: stuff I can't tell just by reading the advertising pamphlets

I've driven the Jeep. Nice car, nice motor, looks nice, but I wouldn't buy one...it isn't left leg friendly. I own an earlier model and a big downfall is there is very little space to put your left foot because the transmission hump intrudes a long way into the floor well. I was interested to see if they had corrected the issue in the new model and they have not. To make matters worse, they moved the parking brake from the centre console down into the foot well as a foot operated one. I found it very annoying hitting my left shin all the time. A nice car, perfect for people with amputated left legs. I don't know why 2 legged people put up with it...I've been told you get used to it if you persevere.

99.99995% of them made would be left hand drive. If the same problem doesn't exist from the passenger seat, I can't see them ever fixing it for our tiny market ............. :)

I saw the Pope on SBS in a Jeepmobile during his visit to Argentina yesterday. The traitor - I thought he had a Rangie Popemobile.

Yes, yes, yes ....

... recovering from kamper sticker shock dude ! :p

Maybe down the track. For now, $$$ into the D2.

M1A1 would be a good choice, runs on a range of fuels, quite fast, suitable for most terrains and has ability to filter out poisonous fumes.

Also comes with a 120mm & 12.7mm traffic calming devices. Bull bar and spotlights not required.

How about an 8x8
