pickup - check (well must have a cover over as I'm not leaving chainsaw gear unlocked.
I was kinda hoping someone would share some (cheap) hidden gem of a truck that ticks all boxes and has all the electronic traction toys (that actually work), however i think I'm kidding myself. At least I know that I can strip a landy if I really need to.
Pajero? Everyone I ever met who had one, raves how good they are and can do everything a Landy can.
Landy also somehow looks at home in the woods, a shiny L200, well probably does as well these days, I've seen enough commercial arb guys using them.

Of the few non land rovers I have working experience of they have without fail made hard work of terrain the land rover barely notices, though that could easily be driver experience.

Your spot on there Lambert in fact i sold a standard 90 only had BFG muds as i thought that most offroad challenges were just a doddle in the 90 and was getting bored as it just seemed pointless,bought a Pajero same again standard with BFG muds and quickly found out what a struggle the rest had been having mostly down to the Paj bellying out time after time,sold that bought a Zuk SJ and it was all a ok again sold it next Diahatsu 4 track not bad but the rear spring shackles would dig in without fail, so back to a 90 and put the tow rope back in its storage box again, IMHO The Defender is the best out of the box 4x4 bar none. :cool:
