Which Vehicle - Toyota or Land Rover???
Hi Everyone
What are your thoughts on taking a Toyota Land Cruiser rather than a Land Rover Defender??
We are planning a two year plus journey through Africa & South America and are debating the two types of vehicles.
Does anyone have any recent experience in doing such a journey in either of these vehicles or may have met people who had some interesting things to say about the pros & cons of the two.
To narrow the field we would consider at Defender Hard Top TD5 from about 2004 and upwards and the Toyota Land Cruiser 80 or Amazon from 2001 & up.
We know that the Toyota is going to be more reliable but I suppose we are also concerned about the storage within the vehicle and with the Toyota there is a lot of glass so security could be an issue? Also, as a workhorse how does the Toyota stack up? Auto or Manual? What about the running gear?
Anyway, any feedback would be appreciated.
Looking forward to hearing what you have to say.
Thanks
