Impressed!
I was on a shoot on Saturday and ended up taking the truck to the start of a drive. The long and short of if is I ended up with 5 guys (including me), all their gear, plus 4 dogs in the truck at the bottom of a half-mile of a wet and muddy grass track. Didn't even need low box, truck's on the standard Bridgestone Dueler tyres too. Two Rangers, and a Disco really struggled in places, but the Terrano didn't even wiggle. I've had the truck off-road a few times, but I was seriously impressed with how it performed. What a machine

That rear slip diff comes into it's own on poor surfaces. Actually I assume you were really in 4wheel drive, but you can always kid the Disco driver that you weren't lol...

I've had the truck a couple of years now, and I really like it. It's been off-road a few times, but this was the first time I'd had it on a wet & muddy grassy track. I'm not kidding as to just how much it impressed me! And on OE rubber, too

I took mine on a pay 'n play site with road tyres on, twice, it surprised me too, then I spent £500 on all terrain tyres and I haven't been back yet
