Simple answer for 5 v4 star on troopies is middle lap belt in 5 seats.
Pickles, IF the 99 td5 had patched in the D1 Airbag setup ( abs was available on defender from 99)it would have owned the mining market(toymota troopies only got those in the last 4 years) AND still be sold in the USA which would have resulted in double if not triple the sales.
The ranger was going to be the defender base but that marriage broke up before it went through. 130in chassis, U.K. Origin td5 , clamshell bonnet aka RRC, smaller diesel for Europe, etc the only thing missing from the ranga is a swb version and a 2.25 petrol 4cyl!:twisted:
