Land Rover Off-Road Event

SuperCoupe93 · 06-24-07, 09:16 PM

Each year our dealership holds 2 offroad events for staff and our customers. We held an even today at Rausch Creek Off-Road Park, so I spend most of my day thigh deep in water and mud. Our group consisted of about 40 Rovers, most of which were LR3's, a couple Discos, 1 RR Sport, and even a Freelander! Unfortunately, no full size Range Rovers or supercharged models were present. I guess people cant justify rock crawling and mud bogging in a $95,000 vehicle. I only have a few pics from our morning trail, because my battery on my camera died just before lunch. These were taken mostly on beginner and intermediate courses...we didnt tackle the advanced stuff til later in the day. I'm going to try and get some more pics fromo co-workers tomorrow. Enjoy!

This pic is when we just arrived in the morning...you can see my LR3 on the left

This was my LR3 at the end of the day...

RangerJoe · 06-25-07, 04:48 PM

Well, then you're an idiot.

And there are even major chassis differences between those SUVs and their truck counterparts.

straight from wikipedia - A truck is a vehicle usually used for transporting bulk goods or other materials. The word "truck" comes from the Greek "trochos", meaning "wheel".
Straight from websters -
1. any of various forms of vehicle for carrying goods and materials, usually consisting of a single self-propelled unit but also often composed of a trailer vehicle hauled by a tractor unit.
2. any of various wheeled frames used for transporting heavy objects.

Since when are the payload capacities of SUVs anywhere near what they are for trucks?

And you can put a trailer hitch on any car out there, and any car out there can "carry goods and materials" and they have a "single self-propelled unit"
