I've been looking at a few D2's online and some owners have them listed with a "performance package" or a "trail package". Are these the correct references to a specific option package or do the owners have it described incorrectly?

Thanks for the help. I didn't find anything doing a search...

Pretty sure performance package is made up, and trail package was a nudge bar and lights(or so)

 

No way I have the performance package! The "sport mode" button. If you don't have it your a chump.

 

The performance package consists of the ACE power steering and rear SLS. The trail package is basically add-ons which may or may not have been included as part of the original purchase of the Rover (brush bar, driving lamps, roof rack, etc.)

lol.. the sport mode button is useless...I (typically & inadvertently) 'turn it on' while leaning over the center console to open the passenger door due to a sticking lock mechanism. Apparently the automatic transmission gearbox is (supposedly) more responsive to accelerator pedal movement with the 'Sport' mode selected. Land Rover recommends using it when increased acceleration is required, or when 'negotiating' long inclines or twisting roads. The fine print states that fuel consumption will be increased, however, when using Sport mode.... NICE.

Hope this helps

 

From a 1999 Review:

uh oh! that little "s" is not stealth mode? that explains the red light tickets.

 

You should add the upgrades that I've added. (See Sig Pic).

Invisibility Mode works WAYYY better than Stealth Mode. (More Transparent than Invisible, but it still works)

Pirate Mode kinda scares the Po Po, so they leave you alone. (Swords, Eye Patches, Parrots, Scary...)

And Oil Slick is awesome for that random Cop'er that wants to play hero. (They'll never take me Alive!)

Although, Oil Slick did come Standard on ALL Land Rovers.

 

The Trial package is only offered on the 2004 model year (brush guard, side steps, taillamp guards, etc). There are a few levels of Trail options offered.

 

Every D2 has the sport mode button. That's why I said that

 

Interesting then for my '04 SE7 as it's got a mix of the above but missing some??

• Black leather interior, 8way power seats, 12 speaker system -no H&K badging (no bass response but there's a meagerly working sub setup on the rear door), -no wood trim
• 18x8 wheels wrapped in 255/55/18 tires -no ACE but the belt cover is there for the missing pump & p/s reservoir has only 1 cap.
• Heated windsheild, heated seats
• 3rd row seats with retractable step -no SLS

Were the packages ą la carte?
