Range Rover ‘ 4-Door Classic ‘ Flex ...

Those classic RR’s came standard with a long arm suspension. Highly capable.

 Please explain to a newbie what 'flex' is and what is good and bad about it.

With your Fortuner you will have some flex/ wheel travel at the back with the solid axle, and a lot less in front with the IFS.
Which will give you some advantage over a vehicle with IFS all round.
You can’t have IFS all around by its very nature🤣

Thanks! :D
I'm an amateur at editing, and credit for the actual filming goes to my brother Werner, but it was many "fun" hours of editing, that...
Wanted to capture a bit of the Unimog experience in that video, hehe. There aren't many good local Mog videos.
Hopefully in time I can help to rectify that.

That's not flexing - it's lifting its leg !!!! Flex is suspension movement that allows the wheels to remain in contact with mother earth - as they were designed to do ;)
