2. fuel economy
3. drawbar pull
4. offroadability on sand, rocks, mud, hill climbs/descents
5. ease of maintencance
6. Stowability
7. Field of view
8. Ease of cleaning
9. resale value
10. Expected Life of type (theres how many 1950's landcruisers onroad)
11. abuse tolerance.
that'l do me for now
The Land Rover is the first car that was seen by most of the undeveloped world. Even in Australia the likes of Len Bedell and his Land Rover were the first car into some of the remote desert communities.
Now days those same remote communities drive Land Cruisers, Patrols and Pajeros because that is what they can easily buy.
Doesn't the landy have a lower ratio, low range than the cruiser?
Oh yer as I have said before, Old Landys mature into a classic.
Old toyo's just get old.
