Default New TFL Purchase - 2018 TD6 Disco




Off to a good start. Looking forward to them taking it to Moab 😎 they seem to be Land Rover fans overall. Would be fun to see them host a Rover club for the outing. As I've read here, best of luck with the crankshaft 🙈

very cool, I wish their D5 also had the active rear diff, but still a great choice.

Close to the year after the purchase, I love my Disco, who come with the same parameters the one on video did (but with gray/white color).
I used 7 passengers option few times and the rear row is hard to get to, but comfortable for seating.
I don't do rock crawling, but my cabin is above 9000' elevation, so lot of snow. Took me a while to find how the 4WD options work and this is the 1st car, where I had to pull the manual.
Fact that the driver has no control over locking differentials sucks IMHO, but per limited experience, the computed does good job with them.
The rear rise is good for snow chains installation.
Trailer calibration is just a disaster, but I tow small trailers, so just ignore it.
ENJOY.

I love my beast! The torque makes it look easy, I'm told by on lookers as I travel through the obstacles....
