The Range Rover is also a pig to maintain. Parts and labor costs put them out of the running as used vehicle choices.

Aren't they usually at the bottom for reliability?

They can be had around here for peanuts. The reason is the maintenance cost. I also find them small, typically underpowered and really not that comfortable for my 6'2” 230 pounds. In addition cargo space sucks compared to a Tahoe.

“The ‘fill-in-the-blank’ is also a pig to maintain. Parts and labor costs put them out of the running as used vehicle choices.”

That could be said about all new vehicles.

The older Land Rovers are basically agricultural vehicles. The hub services tools are the same as International Scouts. I’ll take a small body Range Rover/Land Rover any day over the huge American trucks that splash ‘4x4’ over the side but never hit the trail.

What do you see off-road? Rovers, Scouts, Toyota’s, Jeeps.
