And yet i have mates that have had,them,some done over 300 000K's with not a single issue.

Also a doctor that changes them over every 3 to 4 yrs,never had an issue,ever.He also owns a huge sheep station,so it does a lot of off road work.On his 12th LC ATM.
One did burn to the ground,due to grass caught around the exhaust while out shooting one night.First and last petrol he ever had.

What you see here and there,are a few,very small % of vehicles sold,and there are often reasons that the issues have occurred that are not documented,and not related to the actual vehicle,using after market filters,huge tunes,blah,blah.

Whatever you do,don't look up faults on google for Land Rovers,its all false info[bighmmm][thumbsupbig]
Their reputation speaks for itself.[bighmmm][biggrin]

The SuperSelect II makes it the same as driving a modern LR (other utes havent got that) and it goes into 4 low, CDL, and rear diff lock very quickly if you know how to drive it.

Was referring to the Hilux only with my comments, haven't driven a Triton off road (well not a newish one - last one I had as a daily was a 97 model (in 97...) [biggrin]. If I had to lay down my own cash on a dual cab, the new Triton would be where my money would go for sure.

Well Paul I'm not going backwards to any Toyota of any type....no matter what bricks you throw at LRs.

We love our D4...it's simply brilliant..even my one eyed nissan sons and daughters agree..it's best car we ever bought..no current or I bet future Toyota model comes close to the D4's overall package.

Nuff said😉

Report back after having it 10yrs and let us know how it goes.

Keep throwing bricks,and a lot of garbage, at other brands,and they will return.

Hopefully the situation is now clear[tonguewink][bighmmm]
