Disco 5, Jeep GC, Pajero and Prado. A ASPW Comparison

[Mike Nel]

If you have 30min to spare, this video is good to watch.

Not my most favorite person in the world, but he hits the nail on the head with all of the vehicles.

So after watching the video. Would I buy any on the mentioned vehicles? No. No I wouldn't

I think that’s a D4 in the video. All those vehicles are old though.

Yip

He goes from first production to current

Watch the whole video...

Watch the whole video...

On purpose?

interesting conclusion..... and have to agree especially in their price range

I finally watched the video & pretty much agreed with most of what he said for a change.

But I expected him to go with the Prado over the Jeep for one major reason - boot space.

But on the other hand the Jeep can tow considerably more than the Prado. The unbraked capacity on the Prado is the same as a Duster.

One thing he got wrong was that the Jeep is difficult to modify. The suspension lifts 4 inches/100 mm, so why even modify it in the first place? So his main objection is redundant.

Neil, Andrew has very little knowledge of Jeeps - the tests done with the Jeeps were very superficial compared to the time spent with the other brands. He, for instance, had no clue how to drive the WJ to get the best out of the QD system.

But that other guy in the video also raved about the Jeep. I think his name is John Rich & he’s a very well regarded off-road chap. So he knows his stuff. So it’s a good compliment.

They also directly compared the D2’s & WJ which is something I’ve always done, yet most people don’t consider the WJ.

here is a follow up video although he is just talking the whole time.

I saw that video yes.

Now he is looking for vehicles to do a off road test with

I wouldn't give him a wheelbarrow, never mind a vehicle. First thing he'll want to do is put BF's on it

Like ASPW, BFG’s are awesome

I did, I looked at both.

Well I suppose they both leak lots of hot air & cant do basic off-road stuff.
