Just looked it up, 200kgs less payload and 1Toone less tow capacity then a D5. Its pretty significant for a 2.4Tvehicle i guess, but the susp is very tempting. New defender should be pretty good if it can get air and land with air suspension.Quote:

Is it a four link rear and ifs front with better shocks.
Correct but much less practical for a tourer, payload and towing wise, great weekend fun truck or light tourer maybe.Quote:
