--- Quote from: "Range Rover Blues" ---It's not just coincidence that it's spelled TATa.  Have a look at one that's been around a couple of years, the rust is so bad you can usually see the driver's socks.

TATA- as in "It's all gone a tater"


TATA pickups were quite popular with local builders for a while. They would be abused to within an inch of 'lives' while still under the 3 year warranty and then more or less scrapped.

my first taste of off roading was when my wife bought me a 4x4driver training day, and the place i went, used landrovers, but i had a frontera and i asked him if my vauxhall would make it round, he said everything has made it round apart from the ford explora, he said the press were here for the launch, and it got stuck on an easy bit, very embarassing for ford.

maybe thats why :lol:  :lol:

The Ford Bronco is built on a shortened F-150 Truck Chassis.  The Explorer is a lifted stationwagon (estate) chassis.  Not the same.  Never was impressed with explorer.  

They don't have the Ford Expedition there do they?  It replaced the Bronco.

not seen it yet, sorry but have never been a ford man(dad drilled that into me from a early age) but i think the ford in your neck of the woods are better then ours.

bullfrog:
There are 2 models of explere though ?
I was refering to the larger one which over here is most definately NOT based on a station wagon ! :?:
Checked out the underside of my dads (before it was nicked) and it had proper chassis, Decent axle casings etc.
I used it several times offroad and thought it was very good. Just a bit thirsty ! :shock:
The 4.0L V6 was the cologne V6 as used in late capris. I reckon a 4.0L capri would be a bit of a laugh ! :lol:

MtnBronco:
You know how the escort has changed over the years?  The Explorer has changed over the years as well.  The new explorers are so much more capable and safe than the original.

Not a mention here about the poor old ford maverick
