While the "chassis" isn't identical, a large amount of the hidden parts of the Disco and RRS are the same. They are two cars off the same platform (and btw done by LandRover not Ford - Ford just supplied the money
)
Go full fat if you can afford it. No contest.Posted 1 year ago # -
TBH you won't find a car manufacturer that doesn't have the same "hidden parts" on more than one model.....
I remember Mercs & their gear stick knobs,the cars used to have the same one as some of their lorries !Posted 1 year ago # -
RRS's are the main vehicle of choice for the footballers WAG's - have a look in ANY Premiership car park! I knew one guy who had one and he hated it and bought a Porsche Cayenne S, which I know loads of people detest for it's looks but comparing the RRS and the Cayenne S which he had he said it was a no-contest fight. He said the Cayenne S drove like a sports car and could easily be driven fast round bends whereas the RRS just couldn't match it. How it would go off-road though is another matter I guess.
I know someone who has an Audi Q7 S-Line and he loves it - except for the tyres he keeps going through lol.Posted 1 year ago # -
A RR sport completely lost it out side my house in "the giant snowfall" in Jan. I was just coming back from a run so got to see it slip and slide down the steep hill before wedging itself from one bank to the next. A few seconds later a transit came around the corner (under far more control than the RR) but couldn't stop on the steep hill and t boned the wedged RR. Trying to push and pull the RR free I was surprised how flimsy and plasticy it was on the outside - my hands left a couple of dents where I pushed against a wing. I imagine the clever suspension works nicely off road (with a different driver to the idiot driving this one, and different tyres) but any off road that involved undergrowth or bits of stone would trash it in minutes.

I think tyre choice makes the biggest difference in terms of not getting stuck followed by ground clearance(moorland access means deep ruts?). You would be amazed what even a 2wd vehicle can acheive with the proper equipment.
If you're just putting it in a muddy field then anything with an "awd" will be fine I'm sure. If you're going off-road in the "proper" sense then get the higher car.
