Thread: on the replacement for the perenties

Merc have been suppling military vehicles long enough I've got little doubt the G-wagon will be pretty well sort although there will be a break in period. If you go to the supercat/nary link it says it is internally loadable to a Chinook. So while people have been lining up all misty eyed for the LRPV's I've seen a reservist 110 1992 built with 8000kms on the clock thinking that might be the go when the auctions start.

Not much tech on that link unfortunately. I'm interested in what type of rear suspension design and driveline for the rear bogie.
The poor articulation and under spring ground clearance,plus the short life(around 45,000Km) of the rearmost double Cardan propshaft of the Perentie 6x6s didn't impress me much.

Its a shame, but land rover can only blame themselves, no one else.

Now our troops have to drive around in the same car as Ms Spears

I disagree, if the request for supply (or what ever its called) goes out and asks for the supplier to supply a 4x4, a truck that can carry 10 tonnes and a 53 seater bus, Land Rover cant blame them selves, they dont produce those vehicles.

I think you would discover that Tata the parent company probably does produce that range of vehicles and a whole lot more.

At the time of the tender, Land Rover was owned by Ford.
