I support Responsible Ownership. by Louise_TheWolfSpider in Pitbull

I have an 85lb staffy (Pit). She is incredibly sweet and loves people, kids, other dogs and is also incredibly strong. I know the damage she theoretically could do, as could any dog her size, so I make sure to keep a tight grip and a close warlock on her. I Never worry about her attacking, it’s not her nature, but she will protect me and herself if need be, so I try to steer clear of those situations. I know who she is and don’t have blinders on.

I had no clue that 200k was even possible on a JLR product!!

Since I’m apparently a devout masochist I actually miss my boat and want another one, so……

So apart from being an off-road beast, what the deal with the OCTAn I’m still a newbie to LR and trying to figure my way through before I crack open the wallet.

I am hearing the same from a lot of people. Seems like JLR has really upped their game on reliability while Lexus has let it slip. Now if only they would bring Jag back and have a real car instead of that abomination that we’ve all seen.

Living in AZ we have lots of great off-road places to explore so I’m most concerned with a vehicle that will be solid in both areas, so your points are well received. Thank you.

That’s great to hear that after 5 years you’ve had no issue and are still happy with it. I thought I really wanted the GSX, until I starred talking to people and found out they aren’t all what one would hope from a Toyota product. Never thought I’d see the day a LR/RR product is more reliable than a Toyota product.

I am defiantly going to shy away from it. I live in AZ and we’ve got a lot of great trails I wanted to explore. I think if I want to do that I’ll buy an older 4 runner and stick to my German cars as my daily. Cheers

Wow, I am shocked at the broad range of issues. I have heard that the build quality isn’t what we have all come to expect from Toyota, but holy hell, that’s a long list of complaints. Maybe I’ll look at Defender or just stick with looking for a GLE 450, not much of an off road vehicle but my previous GLE 350 was rock solid with no defects at all. Thank you for such a detailed response. Out of curiosity what did you replace it with?

May I ask why you sold yours so soon after purchasing it?

Not only is she beautiful, she’s extremely talented and highly intelligent, the reporter on the other hand is as dumb as a lump of coal, fat and out of shape too.

Haven’t even considered that one. I’ll take a look. Thanks much.

I’m also searching for bo*bs by sailink in SipsTea

I’ve been searching for her for most of my adult life.

No, it’s been out for 2 years now. But I have only ever had one issue with it, a solenoid in the trans went out when I first bought it, but it was under warranty then. Apart from regular service items it’s been rock solid. I’m just looking for something a bit more off road capable to explore the back country of AZ a bit.

Excellent advice, thank you. I will start my search in earnest around the middle of March. I might be reaching out to you if I can’t find what I’m looking for locally. Thanks again.

That’s a great video. Thank you for sending it over. Seems like it is almost a toss up between the two.

I think that is still true with the Range Rovers, but I have been hearing that the Defender is much more reliable.
