Seen at ‘’Truckfest’
Newark-on-Trent
It was parked near me
Those are big tyres for a D3, the front arches look to be cut slightly
285/75 x 18
I went out for a pot of tea, I took a flask, it was cheaper than show prices

Yes, l prefer it to the D3, it seems to have slightly more rounded lines
The side-swage isn’t as pronounced, so doesn’t look like a double-cab pick-up with a ‘Truckman Too’, like a D3
Just chopped mine in ! You need deep pockets ! However they are so lovely to sit in and drive ! Easy to drive as well and can shift when needed !

150" wheelbase, at least!
I dread to think what the turning circle will be, apart from 'Supertanker'?
Not too sure about the 'bustle' either

Not that out of the ordinary, as pick-ups go
There can’t be many with a Key-Safe though!

Many surfers have key safes for obvious reasons!
Would be a great base vehicle for a camper!

True, never thought about Surfers
Camper; it’ll probably be a few years before it’s decommissioned?

A lot of thr MR and LR teams clung on desperately to told Landies, as once the old Defender died there was nothing else quite like it. A couple even went as far as having them restored.
However, it soon became apparent that the Japanese pickups were just as good, didn't break, were more economical and dependable, and they've largely gone over to them with gusto.

SUVs are here to stay. As has been said plenty times in this thread, SUVs cover a multitude of vehicles . Folk want to spend their money on these types let them get on with it . Plenty other ways to restrict their use in city centres. Just ban all vehicles from the middle of cities .
