1967spud Posted November 13, 2015 Report Share Posted November 13, 2015 Right i am in the market for a new ride, I'm wanting a 4WD alongs the lines of any thing from a Hilux double cab through to a RR sport, it willbe a new motor so im looking for replies that refelect the current models. Problem is its going to be my main ride for when i go across the county target shooting so I'llbe taking 3 rifles all held in Aim 60" drag bag's with copious ammiounts of holdalls etc and possibly two passengers as well so this is where i need the help which vehicle s that you use will take 3-4 rifles in this size drag bag plus the extra bodies and gear will a hilux type vehicle fit a 60 drag bag in the rear? can you get one across the back seat of a lange lover?

AnthonyR Posted November 13, 2015 Report Share Posted November 13, 2015 My AIM 60 will fit on the rear seat of my Disco 4, which is the same size as the old Sport, not so sure about the new one. New RR's are lovely if you can afford it, I rate the Disco 4 as better value and almost as good but its coming to the end of its life now with a new model due next year, I rate them all as better to drive than any pick-up on the market Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJR Posted November 13, 2015 Report Share Posted November 13, 2015 I have a Disco 4, bought new and now 2.5 years old. Love the vehicle itself, good off road(very good), good at long distance, very comfortable and loads of luggage space etc does 27mpg local and 34mpg long distance. Hate the high service costs, hate the fact Land Rover Assistance have been out to it more times than I can remember (although the tecs themselves have been excellent) and the main dealers are well, car dealers, nuff said.... I've had 7 Discoverys/Range Rovers in a row and i'm thinking a Land Cruiser might be worth a look at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJR Posted November 13, 2015 Report Share Posted November 13, 2015 Forgot to say, had a new Sport for a few days recently when mine was in for repair/service. Great vehicle but too much 'pimp' for my taste. Cream leather and gundogs don't mix....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had 7 Discoverys/Range Rovers in a row and i'm thinking a Land Cruiser might be worth a look at. My Disco 4 is nearly 4 years old now and has done nearly 50,000 miles, the ONLY thing that has gone wrong with it since new is a DPF sensor, I have been to the Alps twice in it, serious off roading in Scotland and it is used almost daily off road as well, it has been just about perfect. I have many friends with the same model and their stories are virtually the same, expect one that had a new gearbox at under 500 miles, to be fair I did still take the LR extended warranty just in case.

force64 Posted November 13, 2015 Report Share Posted November 13, 2015 Try looking at the VW Touareg. You might just be surprised. Good deals can be had on new ones. Put some all season tyres on and it will surprise you where it can go. Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tisme Posted November 13, 2015 Report Share Posted November 13, 2015 Aim 60 drag bag fits in double cab hi lux. If you get one make sure it's got a good back on it lots are not water proof. The aim 60 will not fit flat in a land cruiser unless you put the seat down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like **llox to me , they have between 6-12 year transferable body warranty https://www.toyota.co.uk/caring-for-your-toyota/warranty/toyota-warranty.json There are no better 4x4s on the UK market the those made by Toyota.

Unfortunately wear and tear the usual get out...3 sets of brake calipers and 2 sets of bills too.... PS i know their good i used to drive them for a living and i recommended they got a Toyota based on my experience...I now drive Landrover Disco 4's and Shoguns each have their own frailties and positives, Anyhow back on topic all of Spuds options are lovely vehicles...be careful with the RR Sport the wheels look more street than off road. A work colleague has one and is the outdoory type person and he won't venture off road with his for fear of damaging them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justin credible Posted November 13, 2015 Report Share Posted November 13, 2015 The workhorse at our place is a Jeep grand Cherokee, it holds 3 60" drag bags easily with loads of room left over. The newer models are very nice indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Re-Pete Posted November 23, 2015 Report Share Posted November 23, 2015 Only way to be sure is to tote the bags (empty !!) round the dealers and try 'em for size, which is what I did. Measurements given in brochures were useless........................ doing this allowed me to avoid an expensive mistake, and disappoint a salesman.
