I'm not saying they can't tackle rough stuff - I'm saying that they will break eventually from being bashed, unlike something with low range that can just crawl over, and particulerly down stuff. A Forester with a bit of a lift and some bigger...

A freelander won't hack it offroad. Sure, it'll do the greenlane, but because it hasn't got low range, the momentum that you'd carry to get over stuff means eventually you'll bash it into something, and so sooner or later you'll break it. A D2...

What will I learn from that? Given that my parents owned one, that I drove quite a bit, and lived with it. I know if I asked them they would implore me to avoid one at all costs. How come? Does the air system have some clever anti-rollbar system...
