i will disagree with that statement RRB

after being recovered in my rangie by a vitara :oops:, they are very capable

crazymac:
Pretty much any 4x4 can recover another 4x4 as long as it has the ground to recover it from!

This myth that a vitara can't rescue a Landrover is crazy, the Landrover could be in a mud pit and the vitara on solid ground!!

Range Rover Blues:
Hmmm, ok I stand corrected :-k  But I know what it takes to get my RR stuck and I've seen Zukes try to recover stuff before.  All things being  equal I'd still rather be recovered by a vehicle the same size as mine.

I'm with you there! I drive a Discovery and as you say, I know what it takes to get it stuck!!

It just bugs me a bit when we get the "Ha ha! I recovered a Landrover today with my little Suzuki!! Aren't Landrovers crap?!!" comments

They always try and make out that their suzuki drove through where the landrover couldn't make it then towed the Landrover out on their way past!! Whereas what happens is the Landrover or any other 4x4 for that matter gets stuck, and the recovery vehicle reverses in from solid ground and drags it out!

i know what you mean there, its a matter of pride, not what make it is, i mean vehicle size, like i wouldnt like to be towed by a normal car or a mini ( i guess you could say i drive a 90 so my pride isnt dented when i get stuck because most thigs are bigger :lol )

if its in your price range the new range rover vogue is very capable, i though it was jus a school run car untill i saw one on the ski slops of valdisere going up a very steep slope with three wheels on the ground looking like it was going to tip back wards, but it just sighed and got on with it, where as i stood in amazement, i wouldnt have driven up there, if its any constalation, fit an x brake to what ever you get if its a landy, there really good! although id love to stop the rattling pads it seems to have

cheers kieran
