Great pics.

I bet it doesn’t take the aftermarket guys long to devise a nice handy table that fits on the inside of the rear door,and folds up when not in use.

I don't think there are many d5s being used that hard, sure some are but the majority is doing the shopping and school run. I don't like small capacity diesel engines unless they are conservatively tuned in which case most will complain that they don't have enough balls ie 2.2 puma

It would be good for someone with D5 that has the 4 cyl diesel,and tows up ariound the 3.0T,to chime in with their experience.

IMHO,I don’t think many that tow large vans,with the current crop of LR TDV6 engines,or the most popular tug in the country,the LC,will be in a hurry to change over to a 4 cyl.

But I could be completely wrong.[bighmmm]

What will make the new Defender a great tug is the EAS,it’s fantastic.

I reckon Hugh Jars will feel right at home with that Dash Layout.[biggrin]

Now I’m a little scared🥺

When you say "my dealer" what are we talking about?

Cheers

BR I would honestly love to know what your comfort limit on JLR Accessory Tax is for the RTT
Will a price delta of 200% over a James Baroud or 300% still be in your limits to have Landrover stamped on the side and presumably Factory Warranty as weak as it actually is!!!

Thanks for those images looked at them with wifey both had a chuckle.
I’m desperately hoping my mind/heart will change and I’ll start liking the look of this wagon (I really do want to like it FFS it has Defender written on the front)
but I’m still waiting. For me it still has no redeeming aesthetic features ?

I trust I'm not the only one who sees a grumpy frog...

My dealer, as in where I go to buy, look at JLR vehicles and who keeps me up to date due to having a deposit down.
