Or buy a series Landrover

Yeah get a Toyo, they have the exact spare part you will need sitting collecting dust at every remote dealership in the country. Lmao. Dreamers. Meanwhile I CAN get any spare part direct from the UK in3 days delivered to the nearest capital city.

10 years in mining and LNG. Never once seen a 200series, want to compare like for like?

You may not have seen a 200 series (although the mine boss usually drives around in the latest SUV) but you would have seen hundreds of Hilux's, 70 series and Prado's getting about the place.
I have been to countless different Minesites and have yet to see any Landrover product getting around the pit or the production area.

You do appreciate that 200 series Hilux's, 70 series and Prado's are SUVs.

A Prado is far from a 200series and I've never met a worker that enjoyed driving one, I take the Hilux instead every time. Heck I'd prefer the mini van. A Prado is not a work car. Actually it's a great example of why you see nearly all 70 series and Hiluxs.

I have a 79 series and it most certainly isn't an SUV

Also a Hilux isn't an SUV it is a Ute.
