2007 F150 vs 1996 Discovery
So my dad is your stereotypical country redneck figure, he had our house built specfically around his bass boat so it would fit in the garage....
Well he drives a 2007 Ford F150 STX and constantly goes on how my '96 Disco is a british POS blah blah...ford is better..i can out pull you, go more places etc....
he keeps going on about it and if was like If your Land Rover is better than my truck prove it.
So how would my disco fare against the f150?
he has the 4.6 v8 4x4 auto, highway tires. (off road he drives the more power the more speed the more likely i will make it)
i have the 4.0 auto etc.. i also have highway tires ( i drive planned, carefully, and with proper off road technique)
will i be able to beat him off road
and then he also wants to drop chain (tug of war invovling 2 trucks and a big chain),

He's jealous.
Whatever he says just nod and say "yup", and leave it at that. (that will drive him nuts)
Tug of war he will win, he has more power, off road you will win, you are smaller and more nibble.
In a mud bog, he will win, more power and speed, but remember, offroading is not about slinging mud, it is about driving slow and responsibly through the woods.

Sort of like Apples and Oranges if you ask me. Both have their advantages (though in the end one still has that awful blue oval on the grille). Power wise the F-150 are turds in my opinion, though they will outperform the Discovery, but then again they are built for different purposes. Off road wise you should no problem going more places and going through things the F series cant. The suspension on the F-150 is a joke and they are horrible off road simply due to size and design. Big doesnt exactly mean better off road. It may have more ground clearance but it wont fit anywhere and the length of the truck makes it extremely difficult to navigate anything but a wide open field. Oh yea did I mention it's still a Ford Towing is a fail by both IMO. The 07 F-250 Super Duty I used to tow with was embarrassing and the Disco simply isnt built to tow much. No matter the outcome I still give the green oval the vote over the blue one, I've worked on to many Fords to ever give one credit.

Haha well put Chris Bob
Its a common stereotype for guys with pick-up trucks. They often feel the need to challenge others in order to prove their masculinity. Just go with it - hes definitely intimidated.
