Hi all! I was advised by my overlanding group to seek some advice here. I'm currently a jeep owner and have spent 9 months on the road last summer overlanding, camping.
The jeep is no more. I'm searching for a new vehicle for long haul trips and light off road. I was at a land rover dealer and drove a disco 5. It was fabulous. However, colleagues tell me to spend more money and go the 4runner route due to prob driving 10k miles this summer trip.
I loved the disco 5 and also saw an older 2015 lr4 which would be perfect for roofracks and lifted suspension. The exterior space is far superior to any Toyota. I'm not a mechanic but handy. At the price point the disco fits the budget even with all the extras I want to smack on it.
However, I sorta don't want to be consistently stuck on the side of the road. I have read extensively here on this forum before posting. There is the question of buying a 2019 disco 5 with low miles or a lr4 high miles and spend the extra cash fixing the well known. Timing, crossover as well as control arms and so on. Or I can spend massive money and go the 4 runner route that drives like complete ****.
