Range Rover vs Discovery ...in your opinion

RE: Range Rover vs Discovery ...in your opinion
I think I am convinced. I will continue to research. I like the idea of a 00, 01, or 02 Disco II. I need to find out some more information as far as the best place to purchase parts and aftermarket gear, ie roof-rack, parts, grille guard, parts, did I mention parts.
I am telling myself, go with the Ford Ranger, its more economical......but, I say, to hell with economical. I want to drive something with *****!

I have 2 Discos and an older Range Rover Classic. In my opinion I would look in the range of the 99, 00 Discovery. Those years you have the in-cab CDL. For off road use this is a very handy feature. I have this on my 95 and my Classic. For service ability, as I have found my 95 Disco is a little easier for me to work on, and I'm more inclined to take the 95 or my classic out to do real off roading and climbing around in the mountains just due to the CDL.

My 98 Disco only gets about 15 mpg average, mostly hwy. That's about typical for vehicles in its weight class. To me, that's pretty thirsty for a daily driver. Therefore I only drive mine as a casual vehicle, not for work. That's the main down side, but if it's within your budget, you're in good shape.

I had Exploders too as beater trucks/second cars (a $3000 or less vehicle). I got tired of them and switched to a Disco I. My Disco I blows away my last 96 Exploder in character, ride quality, every aspect etc. The only thing the Exploder could take that the Disco I doesn't is mild to harsh neglect. Stay on top of the maintenance or repairs will get very expensive. Both my Exploders (and most fords I've owned) did have weak transmissions though which doesn't seem to be a problem with my disco I.
