Thread: D2 vs the Rangies

Not sure, but I would have expected the same based on their heritage. The Rangie is just a spec'd up Disco isnt it.

Just longer. Just like how the Statesman is built on a longer Commodore.

Buy a diesel gq

Ok thank you.
Also not having much luck finding tow capacities for F150s either (looking all directions at this stage)

I'm sure you could fit longer seat rails, and an LSE gives you more room to play with.

I think the old F150 will be covered under the old rules.

In the US they specify different limits for different vehicle configurations, diff ratio, rear spring, auto/manual, V8 or 6 ect ect.

Anything pre 1992 where a manufacturer does not specify the towing capacity it is as follows.
• One and a half times the unladen mass of the motor vehicle if the trailer is fitted with brakes or
• the unladen mass of the motor vehicle, if the trailer is not fitted with brakes.

Second point is overruled by the “trailers over 750kg must have brakes” rule.

If he's a big bloke and fuel is no concern, go the F

The D2 is the last vehicle to be built on the Range Rover Classic floor pan.
I was surprised to find my D2 dimensions seem identical to a Range Rover Classic. Such things as the seat belt mounting points etc are the same position.
The most obvious difference is that the roof of a Disco is much higher, and the Disco has a much stronger body structure with a very strong loop around the rear door. The position of the seats next to the doors was touted by Land Rover as a "feature" which allows the driver to easily stick his/her head out the window to check for obstacles etc.
I am 188CM and was 118 Kilos and I have no trouble with the seat position.
If your father doesn't like it then tell him to buy another brand with seats closer to the middle as the Disco and Range Rover Classic are very similar if not identical.
