Evilgoat:
Had to drag my mates North American Ranger XLT out of a muddy lane by the canal it got stuck in using a Suzuki Sidekick (Vitara JLX) running on 2 1/2 cylinders. Found it got stuck very quickly and totally stuck. Also on 'washboarding' and bad road surfaces I round it got tail-end happy quite frequently.

Rear seat layout is just plain odd :)

How you finding it?

s.stirley:
I guess it's been long enough to comment now .. in a word it's excellent ! It's a great drive, very easy vehicle to just get in and go with.

First off-road foray was on the original road-tyres, and interesting to say the least. The LSD on the back made up for the lack of grip, and kept me going even in two wheel drive long after I expected to be stuck. I did get it stuck a few weeks later though, and a stone which ripped the side-wall of one of the road tyres made me get them swapped for AT's before I did them all in. Now it's become 'WOW', seems pretty unstoppable in the rough-stuff now, tackling in 2wd what some vehicles with me have got stuck in - the tyres make such a difference. Probably a good job as I did the Macmillan Challenge in it with only 1500 miles on the clock :) we raised plenty of money though, so it was all good.

Still loving it, no major scratches as yet so finger crossed. Just back from a weekend in the Peaks with MAD Freelanders (see site link below for pics) which was fun :)

Cheers
