Even though the new D5 looks far too "Pretty" to go bush bashing in and any panel damage would become quite an expensive issue the truck itself is more advanced than any of the previous Discoveries and the basic upgrades like Bullbar, winch, rear draws etc. etc. will eventually become available So like it's predecessors the D3 and D4 that were also considered to be too "Pretty" I am quietly confident that we will eventually see these kitted out as hard core offroaders.
The cost of these are way above my pay grade But IF I did have the spare quids I would be seriously be looking at these after the dust settles and all the different models have been released.
Found a resource (non-LR so perhaps not authoritative) for available tyre sizes on D5:
255/60R19
235/65R19
255/55R20
275/45ZR21
They are all around 31" OD. Not bad! Sidewalls are all somewhere between 4" and 6"
....G Professional Wagon is the only one.Quote:

I doubt the D5 even has a warning seeing as most think its only a school bus. [bigrolf] Cheers Ean
A lot don't have an engine temp guage. Who looks at guages anyway[emoji6]Quote:

Some Colorado models have a temp gauge for the auto.Quote:

Must have changed...the first Roks didn't.Quote:

The “GProfessional” wagon..
30.5” tyres
230mm ground clearance
600mm fording depth
23deg ramp over
1765mm width (26mm narrower than a Defender)
3,140kg tow capacity with 140kg Ball weight..
400nm engine with 5 speed...
D5...
31” tyres
27.5deg ramp over
284mm ground clearance
900mm wading depth
2073mm wide (Mirrors folded)
3,500kg towing with 350kg ball
430/500/600nm engine choices with 8 speed transmission
So... greater fording,
better transmission,
better engine options (and all more powerful),
Better ramp over,
Better clearance,
Higher towing capacity, and higher ball weight
Larger tyres (marginal [emoji6])
Fully Active CDL and Rear locker
A bit wider (and larger cargo area)
Seems the “Professional” is rather lacking [emoji56]
(And there’s several Army mechs that are sick of fixing the damn things!)
