@baby panda That coolant tank shouldn't also show at the MAX level during operating temps. I suspect that tank was potentially close the MIN line during cold status and any change in angle drops it below the cool line causing the system to trip the warning message...or the float is faulty, there's a leak, software sucks, take your pick. And, more concerning is if the dealer says the coolant level was at the max level when it left and there are no obvious signs of leakage, then you have to ask where is that coolant going...

All 3 are iconic, but the Defender is leaning toward setting a new record for being iconicly unreliable. I have a good friend, who has had numerous of the previous Defenders and he is a die hard for these things. They are either in the shop being fixed or something is warning them that something needs to be fixed. Never is it cheap to fix to top it off. It got so costly at one point, that he had to sell his last one at a loss to get a little run around to continue with normal life. Now that he has paid off the previous dept, he is busy saving up so that he can get another. I think this just teaches us a very good lesson: "You cannot tell someone what they must like and not like, they have to experience it for themselves." Unfortunately, some people just bump their heads over and over expecting the result to be different the next time. I have never had this type of experience, because I see these issues in the reviews and the research. I find it strange that so many people fall for the JLR products. They cost so much and in my eyes seem to return very little.

If u can’t afford a defender why buy one no off-roader with features like a defender is reliable

The reason why the Land Cruiser flexes so well is something called Kinetic Dynamic Suspension System. Essentially, the front and rear sway bar mounts are connected together hydraulically and it's all passive. When the vehicle leans to one side, ie turning, the hydraulics lock each other into place. When you crawl over an obstacle you have diagonal loading which allows the mounts to move and prevent the sway bar from being effective. All passive and automatic. No buttons. Pretty awesome sway bar disconnect system.

In the middle East this is the 'normal' patrol and it's used mostly by people who don't do serious offroading. The patrol super Safari and ghazelle series are the serious offroad versions ! I used to work in a company that makes bulletproof cars and it's always filled with land cruisers ! That's tells a lot about their offroading and reliability ! And the land cruiser VXR/VXS variants do have hydraulic suspension with height control. I guess the heritage edition is closer to a GXR/EXR variant.

The gazelle is a majooooor flop, 280k dhs for a lift kit, really stupid, and the "normal" patrol isn't so normal, it's widely acclaimed as the best car in the desert, the y61 super safari is mostly bought to mod it. The heritage edition in the USA is actually much closer to the vxr other than the body kit and aur suspension, the air suspension on the vxr still doesn't make sense as its a torsion beam setup and not independent.

We recently picked up a used 2021 Armada. Hell of a deal. It's most extreme use is going to be towing the RV across the country and then doing some mild/moderate off-roading. If it's only as capable as, say, an Outback Wilderness, that'll be more than enough for the overlanding trails we want to do (e.g. getting to cool places, great scenery in the back country -- but no climbing over complicated obstacles just for the challenge of it). I'm going to put some AT tires and skid plates on it (probably even with the 20" wheels rather than going to 18s) and call it good. We've only had ours a couple of months, but are impressed. It's a luxurious, comfortable highway cruiser, tows the trailer easily (the integrated brake controller, auto-leveling rear suspension, and sway control are great). I'm not sure why people are so worried about the size off road. Yeah, it's big, sure, but not as big as an F150. It's not even as long as a Ranger -- both of which you see off road all the time.
