Imagine going to an attendant served petrol/diesel station,

" He mate, can you turn the engine off, I can't keep up with you "

Now if it was 4x4... great for the rescue services. Coast guard etc

ref emergency services our local fire station which has been on some of
the fly on the wall type docus at a ford transit county 4x4, mk2 i think
with twin rear wheels for many years, then they got a gmc c3500 equiv
of ford in subject, but not crew cab, twin rear wheels, 4x4 and custom
rear body for rescue equipment. these days they have a regular truck
tender as second vehicle, nice but not as yanky!

Tin Tent radar picked up worrying developments

Any convoys heading west will be repelled at the border

Unless it's a Sunday and you've got long bows, in which case I'll be mainly retiring to the pub

You'd actually be suprised, I know a bloke with a newer one of these and his is 4x4. He does get over 25mpg out of it, when on the motorway with the cruise control set to 60... the engine only has to idle. The idea with the massive yank TDs is they are just all low down torque so you never work the engine. Make fantastic tow buses, that will embarrass a Land-rover's or transit's mpg when towing 3.5 tons...
