It does look good and I was very tempted. Test driving a new Defender next week as that is closest to our needs. Need to
Tow 3.5T - on and off road
Collect 12 bales of shavings (need row 2 to fold flat)
Transport two 91 year olds at times (air suspension essential)
Be comfortable on long journeys
Have reasonable economy
The Grenadier does some of these but not all. The Defender does them all.
Contractors etc will buy them in large numbers though.
I have a brand new Land Rover Defender 110. With the P400 L6 petrol engine. It's incredibly powerful and fast. But if you are towing heavy weights on a regular basis, the diesel L6 engines may be a better option, and more economical to run. The D300 looks simply perfect for your purposes, Paul!
But hey! Despite it has air suspension, it's still very tall in the lowest position. My father (78 years old) says it's a lot more comforatble to get in, than the previous (and much lower) Jaguar F-Pace we got. The reason is that, despite it's higher, the roof is so much higher that he hasn't to bend hi neck to get in. He says this is the key for him to say it's more comfortable. But I insist: it's still quite high!
