I used to be a 4x4 enthusiast. We loved outdoors and we used to be Land Rover Club of PHL. We used Land Rover Defender, Range Rover classic, CJ (with SD 33 underneath - its awesome) and a host of other UV - Frontier Eagle, SUV - TLC, Patrol. The Patrol and Pajero are heavy and not very suitable for hard core 4x4 (off roading) The Frontier and L200 have weak 4x4 components and easily breakdown. The Ranger performance (even the Pinatubo series) used a lot of winching.
A lot has changed in engine technology; the Range Rover Classic with a V8 engine had 150 hp output only; the 4.6 HSE had output of 180 hp only. Whereas, the x Trail spews out 180 hp for the 2.5 variant.
You must be amazed with the current array of pickups; their outputs are comparable to the V8 4.6 liter engine of Range Rover.
Hi Lux 4x4 variant 2.7 liter engine - 163 hp 343 nm
Navarra 4x4 - 174 hp 403 newton meter 6spd transmission
Di Max (Isuzu) - 177 hp, 270 ft lbs torque
Chevrolet Colorado with Duramax engine and VGTI turbo (variable geometry turbo with intercooler) - 180 hp and 470 lbs. The most powerful in its class!
Comes the Ford Wildtrak Ranger with 3.2 liter engine - 200 hp and 470 nm torque priced at Pl.549 million and 6spd automatic transmission.! The 2.2 L variant has 120 hp output and 285 nm torque
Why would a biker buy these trucks? So that he can load his bike - MTB for off road or to go biking up to Bugarin (if you live in MM and we see many bikers doing this)
